Location of "YOUR" LP hose connection, SURVEY CONCLUDED

This is an informal survey to determine the location of extend-a-stay and external LP appliance connections.

Where is your tap, quick release or screw on, is it before the regulator or after the regulator? Was yours installed at the factory, at an LP dealers shop or a DIY project?

Mine is a std., cylinder thread connector installed between the tank shut off valve and before the regulator by Fleetwood.

I looked at the Sturgisafe, Sturgi-stay fitting and it is shown installed between the valve and the regulator. Camco is the same and says in the catalog I have "for installation between the valve and the regulator". Both of these are for either using an external tank for extended use or occasional use.

So where is yours?

  • I installed the Extend-A-Stay adapter between the tank service valve and the regulator as indicated by the instructions included with it. The external supply cylinder is regulated by the same regulator as the main tank. When our grill is attached by a hose to the outlet port, the grill uses its own regulator.
