Propane Quick Connect adapter

Does anyone know if someone sells a long quick connect hose we can use for the BBQ propane valve that adapts to a regular BBQ instead of the cheap BBQ we get when we buy the 5er's ?

    I removed my regulator on our Weber BabyQ and bought all the parts needed on AMAZON.

    Unscrew regulator and screw in a 1/8" MPT X 1/4" FPT then screw into that a Propane male connector with 1/4" MPT. Use propane rated pipe dope.

    At RV quick connect I added a "T" with two quick connects so I can run FirePit and BabyQ at the same time.

    I have a 15' hose for BBQ and a 25' for FirePIt.

    Now all I have to do is fill the BIG RV tanks.



    Thanks thats exactly what I was looking for


    Good deal, glad I could help.

    Cummins12V98, what is the Hansen part number on your quick disconnect? I have 3/8" at my house and when I do the quick disconnect on my camper I would like to use the same size. It would be nice if the threads were 1/4NPT with the 3/8QD but I suspect I will need 3/8NPT to get the 3/8QD.


    Bought them on AMAZON. Copy and past below. Looks like the price went up a couple bucks since I bought.

  • You'd probably need to spend some time at home depot, but I'm sure you can find the fittings you need to remove the bbq regulator and direct feed it off the low pressure quick connect.
