To confirm that you will be able to use the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 you will need to ensure that the 11" nominal outlet pressure is enough to power your generator. This may be information that you can find in your generator owners manual or you may have to reach out to the manufacturer to get the information. The current regulator on your generator will have to be removed as the propane will not go through the additional regulator after going through the Camco regulator.

A 1/2" line should work fine as if that is what the manufacturer installed it will carry enough vapor for the generator. The Camco Regulator has a 3/8" NPT female connector that you will need the 1/2" supply line to connect to. For the connection to the 100lb propane cylinders you will need 2 of the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hose # 100019-24 as the 100lb cylinders have internal threads.
