Buy Gas Hose - 1997 Atwood 3 burner stove

My 97 Atwood stove has 3/8 flare just like all the other LP appliances. I would use the copper til it's far enough from the heat to use a hose.

Thanks a heap to all responders.

I wouldn't chance a hose inside the top, covered part of the stove. In fact, my Coleman, like a lot of others, vents the heat from the oven through the back and up through a vent. There is a 3/8" soft copper pipe that connects the stove to the main 1/2" iron pipe.

If you're using the stove without the back enclosed. you can probably get by with just copper across the top and then a fitting to your hose.
Good luck with the stove.

Do you still have the copper pipe that is under the stove top cover? You shouldn't use a hose to connect to the stoves regulator because of the heat in that area. Use a copper pipe and flare fitting to the regulator and exit the stove top space. To the copper pipe, you can attach a fitting that will mate with a hose, and the hose to your regulator and tank.

While that is a regulator, it is a disaster regulator and not at all meant to drop tank pressure down to working pressure.
The rig given in the ebay link above would do fine.

I see the image- it's of a regulator that steps down 11 w/c pressure even further- pretty common on RV stoves.

Not sure how to step that down, but you still need an RV regulator. Your biggest problem remains how to step from RV fittings to portable. If I were trying to do what you are, I'd go to the guy in your area that's been working on RV's for years...everyplace has such a guy.

Or gal! ;)

The fitting is for copper tube with a flare nut, and that is a regulator.

Thanks for the info!!

I was going to use the 3 Burner as a portable. I got a photo of the connection and It has a regulator on it ...I think!!! Does the photo help you any?????

THanks again

If it's an Atwood three-burner, I presume it's meant to be installed in an RV. Rubber hoses aren't approved for permanent installation- usual material is copper or black iron.

But if you're trying to use it as a portable, be aware that you'll also need a regulator, and one with the proper "water column" pressure at that. Appliances intended for RV use run off the rig's regulated supply, which WC is usually different from that ordinarily used by portable freestanding units, so an ordinary outdoor appliance regulator like those on Coleman stoves etc probably won't work. Nor will the connections fit since those are also different for these two applications.
