⚠️⚠️⚠️ UPDATES!!! Our regulator from propanegear.com went bad after about 6 months. After a few emails and no response, we decided to try some parts of Amazon. Not only did the parts work well, the adjustable regulator lets us really crank up the flow. WAY more than we need to, but it's nice to have the flexibility. It might also come in handy if we ever get a gas firepit. New links are below! We likely could have gotten Propane Gear to replace the regulator if we'd sent more follow-up emails. But, I wanted to try less expensive parts from Amazon anyway. Propane Gear is still a great way to go if you have no idea what connections you need, so we're leaving that part of the original article. ✅ Gauge Master Premium Propane Splitter: amzn.to/31B5jvp ✅ GASPRO 4FT 20 PSI Adjustable High Pressure Propane Regulator with Hose: amzn.to/37dcDyx This regulator and hose will allow me to connect a quick-disconnect fitting to a bracket on the RV frame later on for an even quicker setup. NOTE: You are responsible for regulating the PSI down. At its full 20PSI, it's like a bonfire under our griddle and likely dangerous to leave that way. USE WITH CAUTION! ✅ Anderson Metals Brass Tube Fitting, Half-Union, 3/8″ Flare x 1/4″ Male Pipe: amzn.to/2H6zGjP This is to connect the quick-disconnect to the hose from the regulator. ✅ GASPRO 1/4 Inch RV Propane Quick Connect Fitting: amzn.to/2H2VJbd This connects to the regulator hose using the fitting above. ✅ MENSI 12FT Male/Female Quick-Connect RV Propane Hose for Blackstone Griddles: amzn.to/379rLg9 To connect to the Blackstone.

I replumbed some of the steel pipe for my quick connects under my trailer for a more sturdy mount. The valves shouldn't move or leak but with Murphy's Law, I feel better about any potential leak being on the exterior of my trailer. I may even add a more durable gas valve than the light weight ones that are normally used on these set ups. I am contemplating an interior quick connect for Mr. Heater vs a solid installation without any hoses.

I noticed under the kitchen slide there is a gas quick disconnect for the stove and fridge. Bought a Y adaptor on Amazon and a 24 foot hose to add on the 10 foot I already had. No need for a regulator since it uses the Rig regulator. Works great but I like your idea as well. Love your videos!

Stiff hose is for HIGH pressure gas (pre-regulator). You can use rubber hose but should add fuel filter as the rubber hose gives off oils under pressure which willl eventurally ruin your grill or heater. Also note that a quick connect on the RV is AFTER the regulator at the tank so you should not have a second regulator at the grill connection.

@wcarlhepker48064 жыл бұрын
Yeah!! As long as you are on the low pressure side, then you can use more flexible hoses and not the more rigid. If you were to use the more flexible hose as high pressure line, not only are you prone to hose failure but also the high pressure tends to impregnate the inner wall of the hose and make bits and pieces come off causing regulator failure and even get caught in the orifice in your propane appliance. By the way, you might want to keep the regulator on that rigid hose you just tossed over your shoulder. You never know when it might come in handy.

Don't toss that regulator for the Blackstone. The hose is bad (I've never seen a propane hose that stiff) but the regulator is still good. You never know when you might want to use it for a tailgate away from the trailer! That is a nice setup with mostly standard parts. I've found most of the cost is in that final connector to the grill's gas port where the regulator would normally sit. I setup similar with the T at the tank, but chose to keep it high pressure up to the grill's own regulator (and no QC, it's all standard screw connectors). I only hookup and disconnect when arriving and leaving a site, so not too big a problem.

I just spoke with Nick at Propanegear.com. My 12' hose will be using one of the three regulators in my TT that are already setup for quick connect/releaset to appliances such as the Blackstone Griddle and the fire pit. All will be connected with one hose and two adapters only. I feel confident this setup should be fine since I am not using an after market regulator for either appliance. Regardless, thanks for helping me find a great solution to avoid having to either remove a propane tank from the travel trailer for the griddle and fire pit, or carry an extra bulky propane tank with me.
