 |
|
Does anyone have a brand an part number for a T or an extend-a-stay unit that fits the stock size OEM LP tank? GW's only fits the larger size LP tank not the stock size (different threads).
Ultimately I want to be able to hook up a grill or stove while leaving my Propex heater connected.

I don't have a part number but mine was bought at the local RV store (Fraserway) and it's called "Extend-A-stay" During my search I also sourced a local company that supplies the valves for the tank at a very reasonable price. I paid around $80 for all three pieces for the tank. Canadian dollars.
You can buy just the Tee or the Tee and the hose. I bought both and use it for my BBQ and Coleman stove. They are worth it to me.

The propane stored in the tanks is primarily a liquid. In liquid form it is more than 250 times as dense as when it is a gas. Holding the small green bottle upside down lets the liquid drain into the other tank. Yes, the green bottle will still have gas in it when you are done but 99% of the propane will be gone from it.

Mark, do you have to have the vapor cap open when preforming the above as you would with a normal refill at a station?

I don't advocate transferring propane in bulk between containers. Other people can do it.

Nope. Does not work for what I originally posted.

Looks like just what I need. I knew of the Extend-A-Stay but didn't know about the Extend-A-Flow. Thanks Timwhy!
