low pressure propane Tee - Quick Connect

My camper has a low pressure auxiliary propane hose with a female quick connect on the end. I have a campfire in a can and a weber q (converted to low pressure) that I can run off this aux hose. Does anyone know where I can find a low pressure "tee" with one male quick connect and two female quick connect fittings? I was certain I would go onto amazon and find it available from Camco but not so lucky. Another question - do you think my LP regulator on my TT would provide enough flow to run both these at the same time? If not I might as well just switch from one to the other.

Thanks for any help.

    My brother uses standard air hose quick connects for his propane BBQ & stove hookups. Much cheaper.


    I would not do this. Air hose quick connects are not built to the same standard. Literally playing with fire here.
    I certainly would not recommend that others do it.

    And please don't take the campsite next to mine at the next campground.

    You may be right, but he's been doing it for years without an issue. I really wonder what the real difference is between a $25 LPG quick connect and a $5 air quick connect, other than the shape of the tip. I do know that I have air quick connects that I've used for years without leakage, and they get much more abuse than a LPG quick connect for a camp BBQ would ever see. Again, what's the "actual" physical difference, and what justifies a 5-fold price difference?
