Recommended Tee for Quick Connection Hose to BBQ Grill

Question:

I get only 350F Maximum on my table top BBQ when connected to the RV motorcoach propane supply through this hose. When I use that same BBQ on a 20 lb tank I can get over 500F. The RV tank is completely full. Is this hose restricting the flow from the RV system somehow?

The MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose for Small Appliance - Disposable Cylinder Port - 10'# 100476-120-MBS is not restricting the propane flow, your RV motor coach regulator paired with your grill regulator is because it is using two regulators. Some systems will only give a low flow at certain connections which is why you are getting a lower maximum heat using that connection location.

My recommendation to solve your issue is to use the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for POL Valve - 2 Model 250 Quick Disconnect Ports # 103537-MBS or the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve - Quick Disconnect and Disposable Cylinder Ports # 103613-MBS which puts the connection before your RV regulator for uninterrupted high pressure to your portable grill which will have its own regulator.
