Grill Adapter/Connector

Is there an adapter or connector that can be attached to my main propane tank so I can connect our grill without carrying additional 20 lb. tanks? I already have a hose extension. Chuck

I think all Coleman grills are high pressure. You cannot remove the regulator and covert it to a low pressure grill because they use their own proprietary threads. The Weber Q grills are adaptable with the right fittings. To use a Coleman grill you must tap into the gas line at the tank outlet, but before the regulator. Camping World sells Low Pressure grills.

ChuckBear, Take Camco #59093 and remove the 1/4" IPS connectors from the Tee and put it in the line. You may have to buy some adapters but that will work. Sturgisafe is part #103602. MEC is part #ME412P.

All will work with the correct adapters. Discard the factory adapters.

I will bet if you go to a professional propane store that they will have them without the ACME or POL fittings.

If your grill has a regulator and it should to use disposable cylinders, it requires high pressure. The on off is a regulator.

The one I posted is identical to the one we have on our coach EXCEPT for the left hand connection. I don't know why I cant find it on line but all CWs seem to have it.

It runs our Baby Q just fine.

Thanks all. This will connect to the built in tank under my motorhome so anything designed to attach yto a standard propane tank isn't going to work. The grill arrived today so I can check to see if it's high or low pressure. This is the grill, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009V1BDA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 . BTW, It is designed for the small bottles and I have the adapter on an extension hose. So I suspect it's low pressure. Chuck

Both Sturgisafe and Camco make several "Tees" for installation in a hard piped gas system. The will connect to the TANK before or after the regulator depending on which you prefer. If you are using cylinders as most trailers do, they make the same "Tees" for cylinders.

Extend-a-stay was purchased by Sturgisafe and they make the same propane fittings. If your ordering on line call the store first and tell them what you need or look at their on-line catalog if they have one. If buying from a S&B store ask for recommendations, same with a Propane outlet.

If you are not familiar with pipe sizes and fittings definitely get professional help.

Contrary to popular belief, not all RVs have hoses in their systems and therefore, are more difficult to work on.

If you need to go to a store, take some pictures so the sales staff knows what you have.

Easy job and not real expensive but be safe and don't skimp on whatever you use for joint sealant and then test thoroughly for leaks.

Chuckbear, Camco, Sturgisafe and MEC all sell the brass fitting without the hose, it is just that not all suppliers carry them in stock or advertise them. if you go to a Propane shop, in my opinion the best place to go, they will sell you what you need. You do, however, need to know what you need or take pictures or your RV to them so they really know what you need.

You might also consider the extend-a-stay if you might like the ability to also use external propane tank to feed the RV appliances. This one feeds the grill and allows attachment of external propane tanks. We have hooked to 100 lb cylinders with this during a longer stay at an RV park.
