Quick connect Lpg

[Ralmada]

I have a 2014 Laredo 292RL. I'm looking at adding a quick connect for my camp chef and Coleman. Just not sure what kind of pipe to use. I found the perfect spot were the line goes to the water heater. There is a coupling and a hose, thought I could just swap out the coupling for a tee and had either a piece of pipe or hose to install the quick connect. Just not sure what type of tee to use and what else I'll need for the pipe.

There is a Teflon tape specifically for use with natural gas/propane. Ask at the home center. Around here it is yellow. Then I also like to apply a bit Teflon paste over the tape. Which mostly helps with the crappy threads you get on home center pipe.

If I could only use one, it would be the Teflon paste. Spendy, but well worth it.

Black iron pipe.

Remember, if your grill has a built in regulator (most do, some integral with the on/off and temperature control knob), it will not work on the gas line connection as the line is already regulated.

If ANY of the appliances you are planning to use with your quick connect hook directly to the propane tank then the above applies... You are tapping into a line that is already regulated.

As far as the fitting, It's probably a 3/8" Flare which you should be able to find at Home Depot or Lowes.

Same here, pulled one of the couplers and added a T, went to home cheapo and found a BBQ grill quick disconnect setup with 10' hose.

That's what I did except it was an elbow going to the stove. It was a black iron elbow so I used a black iron tee.
