Running rubber LP tubing directly to regulator in RV oven?
Hello All,
I recently bought a little Wedgewood 4 burner range/oven from an RV. I want to use this in the shop on a 20lb propane tank. I know I need a 2 stage regulator, but my question is: How should I connect the bottom of the outlet of the regulator to the inlet of the oven?
From looking at it, the inlet is under the burner cover. I don't know what size it is yet (does anyone? I'm guessing 3/8), but from looking at YouTube it seems like this would have originally been connected to the copper tubing in the RV it came from.
My question is:
- Is it safe to slip a piece of LP hose under the range cover and run it directly to the stove inlet so that I have one piece tube between the regulator and the stove,
OR
- do I need to make a piece of 3/8 copper tubing w/ flare connectors to the oven, and then get that close to the propane regulator. THen use a rubber tube between regulator and copper. This would be more like the usual setup in an RV.
Thoughts?
