Remove Propane Tank Valve in 2 Minutes (No Special Tools)

[@stewartbruce2409]

I just removed my first propane valve today. No tree around so I placed pipe between handle spaces to stop it from rolling. Adjustable wrench on valve, with pipe for leverage. Total success because of your guidance, and some other options for the students of HNX media.

[@patrickshaw8595]

If you got the space those things make great mufflers. Stuff I work on most is one or two cylinders and have a difficult to muffle noise type. Get some super-cheapy stainless steel chore balls and fill it up. I like to make the entrance pipe where the valve was, vertically down to within 4-5 inches of the bottom. That way even if the steel wool settles a little it is still surrounding the noisy end of pipe from exhaust pot. The outlet pipe only needs to be about 2/3rds the size of the inlet pipe. I like to make the outlet pipe vertical, too and a little off center. it should extend about a 1/4 of the way down into the tank. You are welcome !

I have never replaced a valve - so I am hesitant to give advice on it. I am not sure what the torque spec is or if there are specific sealants used on the valve. I think it can be done, but I have never done it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Stay well.

[@staceysowers245]

Just got an old tank to use for a project but it still has some gas in it. There is no valve, just duct tape over the hole. Can I still use a hose to fill it with water? I read that the gas will sink into low spots and remain flammable.

[@HNXMedia]

If there is just duct tape over the valve, then any gas in that tank will be minimal. Yes, just fill it with water (overflowing) and let it sit outside for a day. It will stink something fierce, but will be fine to work with after that. The odor will eventually go away, but it can be rough when you first start working with the tank. Be safe.

[@personjfreak]

I'm a propane tech just checking the interwebs for idiots. You are not an idiot. The water purging step at the end was such a relief. Thank you for not blowing yourself up. One quick thing though, I do believe that adaptor you put on it has a check valve, and wouldn't have actually let any gas out unless a bottle was connected on both ends. But i could be wrong.

[@HNXMedia]

[@jenntek.101]

I have a question; First... I purchased a 15lb tank. when I went to use it, no LP came out... "Bad valve" is what one fuel attendant claimed. As I turned in the "bad valve" tank... I noticed the straight screwdriver threaded thingy... (Valve?) It was horizontal... I thought it might have something to do with this not working.... The place were I bought it swapped it out with a working tank. I guess my question is; all the ones that I looked at that "worked" the straight screwdriver thingy was turned to about 2 to the 8 ---> O'clock position. My defunct one was horizontal. I was tempted to turn it, and see... but, I declined considering each tank holds 300+ PSI. IF I were to turn that ... would I have turned the valve on? Is this a safety feature or something? (I didn't mean to ramble; I just wanted to set the scenario for you to understand). Thanks in advance 3 years later. LoL.

[@Waltstuff]

Good question. The little flat head screw opens up the "fixed liquid level guage," aka the "spitter." When he pulls the valve all the way out you can see a straw like thing going down about 4.2 inches. That is the 80% full point. When filling the tank, you can open up thw spitter and When liquid spits out, you know the tank is at 80%. You only fill to 80% because propane expands when it gets warmed. You can also open the valve to let out pressure as the video shows. The screw can be in any position really, as long as it's shut. It would have nothing to do with the tank working or not. Sometimes the check inside the valve just gets stuck.

[@jenntek.101]

@@Waltstuff Thanks! I learned something new!

[@jimjakosh2506]

Thanks for the video. I put a 1" round bar through the top bracket of the tank and had the other end in my vise and I turned out the valve very quickly with a pipe and 2 large Crescent wrenches!! I had to cut through the head of the screw on the handle to remove it because it was a Torx drive with a pin in it and I did not have the right hollow bit to remove it

[@HNXMedia]

@@HNXMedia Thank you muchly... I'll choose to trust your judgement. Fare well friend... Safety First P.S. I just realized that I may not have been clear as to the issue I'm seeing with the valve leak ... The leak is not where the valve threads into the tank but is at the point where the valve stem passes thru the brass but (the one with reverse thread indications notched into it). I do recall being at a North Idaho Propane and saw the sales clerk offer certain "O-rings" to a customer for the valves though I believe they were small ones that seal the bleeder screw and so do assume that some repairs are/were considered OK to do... This was, however about 10 years ago.

[@scotthoward4836]

Left or right hand thread?

[@charlescooney6900]

What is that screw for on the side of the valve that you backed off on?

[@HNXMedia]

It is the safety relief (pressure relief) valve. It is used when filling the tank to keep from building too much pressure.

[@brettelmerelmer3061]

Actually, it is a fixed liquid level valve. The purpose is to give you an unwavering indicator that the tank is filled to 80%, the legal fill level for liquid petroleum gas (lpg) bottles. It is commonly called a spitter valve, because as long as the tank is below 80% full, it vents gas. At 80% or higher, it vents (spits) liquid. Don't get any liquid on you, because it evaporates at 44 degrees below zero and will give you some rather painful freezer burns. The reason for the 80% fill level is to allow for thermal expansion of the liquid inside. Gases are compressible, liquids are not. If the liquid expands to 100% in that tank, and more heat is applied, at some point, the tank will rupture and cause a problem you don't want to be within a hundred yards of unless you enjoy having all the hair singed off your body and a lot of third degree burns. When the tank ruptures, each gallon of liquid evaporates to become 270 cubic feet of gas, which is explosive at any concentration above 4% in the atmosphere. After the initial pressure release of the rupture, the remaining liquid inside cools almost immediately to 44 below zero, and will continue venting through the rupture until all of the liquid is completely evaporated. Ever wondered why people who deal with this stuff daily need a certain amount of training before they get turned loose to work with it?

Basic sense is also in extremely short supply.

[@craigkucing9779]

Common sense is not common any longer.

Thats a great idea better i just did one as well and plan to turn it into a oil burner smudge pot they are awesome for outdoor heating

[@HNXMedia]

Would love to see it!

[@RolandMitchell]

Well I suppose your Idea was alright using a two Straps: But My Method is to take a Crowbar or a solid Piece of Bar : Place the Bar into a Vice {side on} Take hold of the Empty Gas Bottle and slide the Crowbar through the two Holes; and then with a 22mm Open end spanner or an adjustable Spanner or pipe wrench. If You Find it hard o Unscrew Place a Pipe within the Pipe wrench for extra Pull

Nice! I might just give that a try next time. Solid idea!

[@chrischarpentier3611]

Thanks for a simple explanation!

[@HNXMedia]

Hope it helped. Time to try it out and make something unique!

[@drewgrows7765]

Genius level simplicity

[@crohkorthreetoes3821]

Thank you sir! I should have been able to brain that out on my own. But I never even thought of it... problem solved.

These are the things that most farmers do all the time. Nothing goes to waste.

[@tcmtech7515]

Farmers are resourceful and self-sufficient. I hear that's racist now.

[@mrc1539]

I swear I could smell it when you opened that 10% valve . 😩 !

[@HNXMedia]

You and. me both :)

[@CarJaco]

Awesome, thank you sir!

[@HNXMedia]

Happy to help.

[@rickdees251]

If you then tighten that valve back up and loosen it several times back and forth with the pipe on, it will turn easier and easier. When it's lose enough your done with the pipe.

Good tip.

[@rickdees251]

Right on! I just made one a little air tank for the scrap truck... super handy... I definitely would make a little stove... the yard won’t take them even cut...😂😂😂. Don’t blow yourself up! I like the small tank bleeder idea!!!

[@lightningdemolition1964]

No trees here. All I have is a saguaro cactus. Can I use that

[@HNXMedia]

Absolutely...just don't get "stuck."

[@gordbaker896]

No. They mess up your straps.
