Expert Answers about Chevrolet Propane Fittings


  • Can you Connect Two Accessories to the Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for POL Valve Fittings
  • On the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for POL Valve part # 103537-MBS it does provide two connection points for accessories to be used. I see the confusion in the wording though. It will connect directly between the on board propane tank and the gas lines on your RV. You can then attach your fire pit and grill and have what sounds like a heck of a time in a very nice coach!

  • How To Switch Propane Supply on 1981 Tioga RV to 20 Pound Propane Cylinder
  • The only ways to transfer more propane to your onboard tank is to take your RV to a refill station or have a propane truck come to your location to fill it. Chances are that a truck will not come to you for such a small purchase. Another alternative is to use an outdoor 20 pound propane tank. You will need the MB Sturgis # 103538-MBS extended stay T-fitting. Where your gas line from the RV connects to the tank you can install this T-fitting. The included hose will run from your T-fitting...

  • What is Camco Propane Appliance Extension Hose # CAM59883 Used For
  • Camco Propane Appliance Extension Hose # CAM59883 is used to increase the distance from a standard 20 or 30 pound propane tank to a portable appliance such as a grill. The 1/4" female fitting threads into a regulator with the mating male fitting on it. The other end, a 1/4" male, goes to the appliance. I have linked a video on this hose and a help article on propane.

  • How to Correctly Measure a Propane Hose
  • In order to correctly measure a propane hose you will need to measure end to end (fitting to fitting). The propane hoses we sell are by the foot so this may make it easier to determine what you need. It is also a good idea to get a hose that is a bit longer than what you need to account for any errors during measuring. For example, the MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly part # 100383-48-MBS is 4' long end to end. I have attached a list of our propane selection for you as well.

  • How Does the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose # 100476-120-MBS Install on a Camper
  • The MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose for Small Appliance # 100476-120-MBS will install on a T-Fitting before the regulator on the camper side. Some campers already have the T-Fitting installed so if this is the case you will be good to go. If your camper does not already have a T-Fitting installed before the regulator on the camper you can simply install the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve # 103613-MBS. This will help you avoid running your propane through 2 regulators...

  • Can a RV Propane Grill Be Connected to the Quick Connect Port on a Trailer
  • This is not a simple yes or no answer because it really depends on your grill and whether the grill has a regulator or not. I have attached a help article that goes over how and where to connect a RV propane grill. The propane coming from your quick connect on your trailer is going to be regulated, so if your grill does not have a regulator then it would be ok to connect your grill to the quick connect. You would need a quick connect hose with a fitting that matches what you need for your...

  • Can Big Red Portable Campfire Be Used With Low Pressure Propane
  • I spoke with my contact at Camco who said that the Big Red Portable Gas Campfire # CAM58035 is only compatible with an auxiliary propane tank and should not be connected to your low pressure propane connection from your trailer. The Campco Big Red Portable Campfire, part # CAM58035 is designed to work with a propane source like a 20 lb portable tank. There is an in-line regulator with this fire pit that makes sure a safe pressure level is maintained when using the fire pit, so if you have...

  • Can the Brass Adapters Be Removed on the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator
  • The brass adapter fittings on the inlet sides of the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks part # CAM59005 simply convert the NPT threads on the regulator to inverted flare. If you have hoses with NPT fittings you can simply remove the adapters with a wrench. Please note, NPT fittings will require thread sealant like part # 37207-30025.

  • Does the Camco RV Polyethylene Propane Tank Cover CAM40564 have an Exit for Propane Supply Hose
  • Camco RV Polyethylene Propane Tank Cover # CAM40564 is open at the bottom and there is a little door on the top. You may have to reroute the supply hose if possible but if not then yes, you would have to disconnect it so as not to interfere with the fit of the cover.

  • Can Camco RV Portable Propane Campfire Attach Directly to RV Propane Source
  • The Camco RV Portable Propane Campfire # CAM58041 has a built-in regulator so it can connect directly to your RV's high-pressure propane feed. My contact at CAMCO confirmed this is the preferred installation method. It comes with an 8 foot hose for you to use to connect to your RV. The part # CAM59143 does come with fittings that would allow it to be compatible with the fire pit as well.

  • Can the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Flow T-Fitting Be Installed On Service Hose Under RV
  • The propane tee's we offer need to be installed on the tank as that is how you'll bypass the regulator. If you spice into the supply further down the line you'll be run through the regulator which will cause a problem with most propane accessories and kind of defeats the purpose of the tee. The MB Sturgis Sturgi-Flow T-Fitting part # 103606 uses POL fittings, if you need Type 1 you can use the Propane T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve part # 37207-30215. I have attached an article below if you...

  • Should Pipe Sealant be Used When Installation Propane Tank 1/4 MPT Pigtail
  • Yes you should use some kind of sealant on threaded fittings whether it is the tape or pipe dope. Using the white Teflon tape will work well on installing the propane pigtail top the LP regulator. Just wrap the tape on the threads only.

  • Can a Single Stage Propane Regulator Be Used In Place of a Dual Stage
  • The MB Sturgis Single Stage Propane Regulator part # 108072 can be used in place of a dual stage regulator so long as the fittings on the end of the leader hose are the same which they should be. I am not sure what you mean by, "Can I swap these out and then have the regulator on the stove come into play" but you only need to have one regulator running from the propane supply to the accessory assuming it reduces the pressure to the correct water column (W.C.) count and has the correct BTU...

  • Fairview RV Camper LP Propane 2 Stage Automatic Changeover Regulator
  • While we don't carry that particular brand I was able to find some information for you. It is typical for the indicator to be red either when the tank is empty or is shut off. It will be green when the tank is full and open. It likely is taking a few hours as you said for the residual pressure in the system to dissipate which would cause it to go red. It sounds like it is doing it's job properly. Should you need a replacement we offer is the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator...

  • Determining If Lippert Underchassis Double Bin Storage Unit Will Fit with Propane Line Under Trailer
  • It's hard for me to say whether or not you will need to fabricate special brackets for the Lippert Underchassis Double Bin Storage Unit # LC125460 without knowing exactly where or how long that hard propane line is on your Keystone Cougar. The best I can do is provide you with the unit's dimensions so you can compare them to the frame under your trailer and the positioning of that propane line. You might also be able to re-position the propane line a bit to accommodate the bin if needed....
