Propane inline Tee
I would like to install a brass propane tee on my rig between the tank and the regulator to connect a BBQ. I don't know what type of thread connection to get. I have seen ones that are POL or ACME th...

Good morning to all from central FL. Snowbirding to the end of the month. Its been a long time since I have been on this site. UUUUMMMMM, I must do better.
What I did: I put the Extend a Stay between the tank shut off and the regulator. Then put a quick disconnect fitting on the Extend a Stay. I can hook the 10' hose to it, run it to the back of tne MH, I have a class C. That end of the hose is connected to a Automatic switch over regulator, which has two ports on it. Now I can have two tank hooked to the system. When one runs empty it automatically switches to the full tank. Don't run out of propane in the middle of the night when using the furnace. I just keep an eye on the tanks and when one is empty and the regulator switched to the full tank, I turn the knob to the side with full tank and now I can take the empty tank and get it refilled. Always have propane in the line When using the bbq pit, I disconnect the tank that is not feeding propane to the line and when done with the bbq pit just hook up the tank back to the system. Been using this for two years now with no issues.
I try to make everything as simple as possible to use. At first I did the one tank hooked to the Extend a Stay, but when I ran out of propane in the middle of the night and the unit got cold because the furnace would not run and I had to go outside and switch over from the stand alone tank to the one on the MH, I decided that something else needed to be done. Did not want any more night time trips to change the tanks over. Works well for me. A frienda and I did the work. With all the fittings, hoses, autoswitch over regulatorand what not, I probably spent $450.00. Well worth the money. My friend who is on the site next to me, uses one tank to hook to the Extend a Stay, and I con't remember how many times this winter here in FL he has run out of propane and had to come outside and turn off the stand a lone tank and turn on the MH tank because the rig got cold. And his wife does not like that. And she certainly makes sure he knows it.:)
