Installed a propane tank T need help

I just installed a t on my propane tank on the motorhome so i can hook up my grill and fire pit here is my problem
To go under the motorhome I need more then 12 feet and cant seem to find a hose thats over that with a 1 inch male and 1 inch female

Also my propane fire pit doesnt come with a regulator so i would need a longer hose with a regulator with the 1 inch connections
  • If the pit is low pressure, t off the system anywhere close to where you want to put it, don't run high pressure out to a regulator.

    Caping world and most RV stores will have "Extension" hoses, 10' long. male and female "Quick Connect"

    is the fire pit designed to use those Disposable bottles. if so it has a regulator.. If it's designed to use a luggable tank. then the regulator may be on the end of the tank hose. (You can get an adapter at the above stores to connect the quick connect hose to that regulaator as well).

    Post photos if you want me to look up links to samples of products.

    Specifically the fire pit hook up and hose. as well as the 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


    Looks like there's three up the road in Petoskey. Several in Gaylord and Traverse City as well.
  • I use an aluminum "bag table" for our grill and just place it within reach of the 12' hose. For those rare occasions when I do want it further away, I keep a couple of 1 lb throwaways on hand. I recently used one up that I bought in 2012.

    Go see Hank Hill or one of his colleagues at the propane store, they'll make you whatever kind of hose you need if they don't have it in stock already.

    Is your T on the high pressure (tank side) or low pressure (appliance side) of the existing plumbing?

    If you're T'd into the low pressure side, your fire pit won't need a regulator, just a needle valve to control the flow, same for the grill. If you're on the high pressure side, things are more interesting.
  • Buy the hoses and ends on eBay and put it together yourself.
