Expert Answers about Airstream Propane Fittings


  • Troubleshooting No Propane Getting to Motorhome Grill When Using the MB Sturgis # 100476-72-MBS
  • It sounds like your Char Broil Grill2Go grill has a 1 lb propane tank fitting which is also known as a disposable cylinder fitting (see attached picture). If this is the case then the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose # 100476-72-MBS should fit properly as that center pin you are talking about is a propane standard and they don't make longer or shorter ones. I would start off by checking to make sure your disposable cylinder fitting on your grill isn't damaged. If that looks good...

  • Troubleshooting No Propane Flow On Trailer with New Tank and New Regulator
  • Yes. The pigtail could be the issue. I recommend replacing the pigtail with the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/ Back Check - Type 1 x 1/4" MPT - 20" # 100473-20-MBS. There is an internal back-check on Type 1 fittings that could be the issue.

  • Troubleshooting Propane Gas Supply Pressure Issue After Installing T Kit
  • If you are certain that you have the valve open on the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting in kit # 103615 and that your 100-lb tank has enough propane to deliver sufficient gas pressure then I would check the connections on the travel trailer. If you refer to the linked video for this kit you will note that the valve is open when it is lined up with the black fitting on the T. If it is at a right angle to that part it is closed. Pressure from the tank will vary a lot depending on the ambient...

  • Outside Gas Grill Is Not Getting Propane On 2020 Thor Hurricane
  • On the main tank regulator for your 2020 Thor Hurricane, the knob has to be switched so the propane will flow to the outside hose. The regulator knob closes off the outlet so you don't have a constant flow of propane to the outside fitting when not using it.

  • Moving Propane Tank Bracket On a Travel Trailer For Fastway e2 Weight Distribution to Fit Properly
  • You will not need to change the bars on your Fastway e2 weight distribution hitch unless you decide to move up to the 1,000lb bars. The propane tank bracket on your Grand Design Imagine 2910 travel trailer is mounted to the top of you frame with screws. You simply need to remove the tanks to access the screws and move the propane tank Pan # 37207-30485 into a position that will allow for your frame brackets to fit in the correct location(See image of slots for propane tank pan below). Fastway...

  • What Is the Number on the Propane Quick Disconnect Fitting Used For
  • The number that you referenced is a date code and not a part number therefore cannot be used to determine compatibility. The "1739" simply means the valve was made on the 39th week of 2017. In order to determine compatibility of the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Kit for Low Pressure Appliances part # 104052-401132 you just need to be sure that what you are connecting it to uses 1/4" NPT fittings. The model 250 quick disconnect ports are pretty much standard for propane accessories so all...

  • Solution for E2 Weight Distribution System that Won't Fit Around Propane Tanks on Trailer
  • It looks like you already have an E2 weight distribution system. The part # EQ95-01-5600 would be the exact same thing as what you have since Equalizer makes the E2 kits. This bracket wouldn't offer anything different than what you have. What you have found is one of the drawbacks to the Equalizer setups. If you had a Reese kit you could use bolt on brackets that wouldn't interfere with propane tanks at all. For that you would want the part # RP58305. For a similar system to your 1,000...

  • Troubleshooting RV Water Heater With No Hot Water
  • Most of the more recent Atwood water heaters as well as other manufacturers us a plastic tank. The plastic tanks don't need the anode rod to keep the tank from corrosion. It sounds like you have a problem with the heating element since you don't have any hot water if you have an electric heater. I recommend checking your pilot and regulator if you have propane heater.

  • Troubleshooting RV Propane Tank, Regulator Hose and Grill Setup
  • Troubleshooting a propane setup requires substituting parts, one item at a time, with ones known to be functioning correctly, until the bad part is identified. With flammable gas there is no other safe way to isolate the item with the malfunction. Sometimes if a setup has been idle for a while (such as for a few days while you were getting your tank filled or while the unit was in off-season storage) insects can get into even the tiniest places and clog things up. Some fittings are small...

  • Troubleshooting Propane Regulator That Only Works on One Side
  • Start off by checking your pigtail. If you change your switch so that it is turned towards the side that isn't working and then swap your pigtails as well this will tell you if you need to simply replace a pigtail or if your have a bad regulator. If you find that it works when you swap the pigtail as well then you just need to replace your pigtail. If your regulator has the gold fittings on it where the pigtail attaches then you need part # 100575-12-MBS. Otherwise you would need part...

  • Gas Still Flows Through HT-500 Grill Even with Regulator Shut Off
  • If your gas grill propane system is allowing gas to flow even when it is shut off then there are a couple of ways to approach the problem. First you could try to find the leak(s). The tried and true method is to apply soapy water to the outside of fittings. If you see bubbles appear then that is the location of a leak. But it could just be a regulator with a stuck valve which would mean you wouldn't see bubbles. To determine if that is the case you would just replace the regulator(s)...

  • Troubleshooting Unlocking the TorkLift Fortress GasLock Kit for Propane Tanks
  • I contacted Tech support at TorkLift for your issue with the Fortress GasLock Kit, # TLA7770. They stated that while they have in the past had a few that fit tightly at first, they have not had any feedback of them not opening or the keys breaking off. You may just need to put a little more force to it. I asked about suggestions to loosen this up, lubricate the tumblers in the barrel. They responded with suggestion of white lithium grease or graphite. But do not use WD40 or something...

  • Troubleshooting Connection Between A 2-Stage Regular And 20lb Propane Tank
  • Typically most 2-stage regulators like the # CAM59323 will have a 1/4" NPT inlet connection which would allow you to connect a POL fitting like # 37207-30085 to connect to the inner threads of the 20lb tank. If this is what you have and you're still having issues with the threads not gripping it could be that the threads on either the tank or the fitting are stripped. You can combat this by taking off the POL fitting and using a type-1 fitting like the # CAM59923 which will thread into...

  • Water Heater in 1984 Fleetwood RV Will Not Ignite
  • It's very possible that the thermocouple could have gone bad, which is a fairly common cause for a water heater not to light. We do have a few replacement thermocouples available, such as the 18-inch # CAM09273, which are all universal-fit items. I also recommend checking to make sure there are no loose connections anywhere and that everything is securely attached. Lastly, if the unit on your RV is an older model, it might simply need to be replaced. I have attached a link that will...

  • Troubleshooting Error Codes On Fogatti Tankless Water Heater.
  • Thanks for reaching out. The EC code as you know means the Fogatti Tankless Water Heater # LSB64FR tried to start the pilot light and was unable to due to low gas pressure. The unit needs an 11" WC, water column, to operate. I suggest getting a licensed tech to check and see if you are getting a true 11 inch WC at the unit. If you are not, it will be an issue with your propane. Probably the regulator or low tanks. If you need a new regulator reply back with the fitting types you need...

  • RV Water Heater Will Not Light
  • It's difficult to say for sure what might be preventing your water heater from lighting, as there are several possibilities. The most common cause is a bad thermocouple. We do have a few replacements available such as the 18 inch # CAM09273. This is a universal-fit item. I have attached our available selection that you can also check out. If nothing is happening when you flip the switch then you may just need to replace the switch itself. We have a replacement with part # AT91959. If you...

  • Troubleshooting 2018 Pacific Coachworks SeaBreeze 16BB Trailer Wheel Clearance
  • In order for them to give it a 4,200 lb capacity rating, the weakest component on the trailer has to be able to withstand that capacity so you most likely have a 4,200 lb axle. We do have the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00 which will allow you to raise your trailer by the axle diameter plus the leaf spring stack. That will gain you the wheel well clearance. If you want to replace your axles and springs, I need to know some information on the measurements....
