Installed a propane tank T need help

John,

What's not to like about my T? It's the same function as the one you linked except that my rig does not a POL type of connection which is typical for permanent mounted tanks.

OK Let's be clear on what you have.
1. Do you have the 1" connector on your T - the same as my picture above?
2. And your pit has a regulator with standard 20 lb propane connector? ie Your original post said no regulator.

If so buy the propane hose with 1" male/female ends and the adapter John posted above. There is now one and only one way to connect your T to your regulator.

Additionally if you have a BBQ that uses the small propane bottles then you can also connect it to your T.

Yes the fire pit will need "Some kind of regulator"

I do not like that adapter pictured above. I like the Extend-a-flow. or "Stay-a-while"

This is the modern version (ACME as well as POL for the hose to the RV) adapter I use
Extend-a-stay

The large side connector is a "Quick Connect" like the top of a throwaway bottle.

Hose connects to it. then to the reguator on my grill.

If you have a Regulator with a connection for a luggable bottle (That is the connneciton on the right on the diagram... which is where the RV/s existin propane screws in)

THen The Camco 59213 1lb Propane Bottle Adapter or one like it is what you want

See it on Amazon

A 3/8”th hose on the high pressure side is big enough to run either item.

Also a 50' hose on the high pressure side will store and waste a fair amount of propane when disconnected.

Yes it would. I daisy chain two 12-footers together and they take forever to leak down before I can store them. I had thought about installing a low-pressure port but then I'd have to get a different grill. My rear furnace is located in an perfect spot for an outdoor port. I could just tap into its propane line.

I actually ordered a Camco tap from eTrailer. However unlike their website picture the one they sent could not add the El or valve. They made it tedious to get a full refund including return shipping but did so in the end. Just a heads up.

I added a El to my T for hose routing considerations and I use the hose with 1" fittings. And the valve to ensure it's off. The top external tank port came with my T.

Where is this Propane Store? Do they have a WEB Site? Thanks, I need a long HP hose for our BBQ grill and 12' that came with my extend-a-stay won't cut it. I am thinking 30-50' HP hose, that way we could use it if the picnic table is at the rear of the coach, BBQ is a small table top unit and we have to use the tables where they are. Thanks, Ed

I have the same limit with a 12' hose and sometimes just use the ground. I'm considering carrying a table for the BBQ. Also a 50' hose on the high pressure side will store and waste a fair amount of propane when disconnected.

For custom hoses Google for a propane supply store near you or ask a propane supplier for advice.

The OP asked about 1" hose ends which are used with the 1 lb bottles and not quick disconnect. That implies his T is on the high pressure side. Add an adapter and it will connect to any BBQ with a regulator. HD has these and the regulator with hose to his BBQ that he is also looking for.
