To turn the quick disconnect propane fitting on the Greystone Outdoor RV Griddle and Grill # WAY34FR you would have to overtighten it, which can be done but isn't really recommended as you could end up damaging the fitting and allowing propane to leak from the fitting. view full answer...
Yes, you will need teflon tape rated for use with propane.
The MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly - RV Type 1 w/ Back Check x 1/4" MPT - 12" # 100473-12 does not have an inverted flare in it so it will require tape on the end leading away from the propane tank.
An example of the inverted flare can be seen on the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail - Stainless Overbraid - Type 1 x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 2' # 100833-24. If you look at the fitting running away from the tank you will see the flare.

I checked with Furrion and they do not have a recommended propane gas line size for the Furrion 2-in-1 Range Oven with Glass Cover - 17" Tall - Stainless Steel # FR57KR.
It requires a hose/line with a 3/8" Female Flare connection, with the right one depending on the length depending on the length you need and what you are connecting to. For example the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Hose # 100040-144-MBS is 12 feet long and has a 3/8" Male NPT connection on one end and 3/8" Female Flare on... view full answer...
No, our 1/4" Male NPT propane hoses do not have a screen with a spring and ball inside. But so long as the fitting is the same you can still use it; the screen won't matter. So for example for a Type 1 x 1/4" Male NPT hose use # 100473-30-MBS. view full answer...
MPT is a male connection with NPT threads (national pipe threads). They basically just drop the "National" portion of the name on these parts and replace them with the male or female designation. The MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly - 1/2" Female Flare Swivel x 3/8" MPT - 4' # 100383-48-MBS you were looking at has a male NPT fitting and would require a female NPT (FPT) fitting to connect to. You will want to make sure you don't mix up flare fittings with NPT fittings though as they do look... view full answer...
It is not recommended to have a hose above 20 feet as then you will start to notice pressure droppage. For that reason I recommend the MB Sturgis Propane Hose # MBS57FR which measures in at 15' long.
This hose has 3/8" female flare fittings on both ends, and has a maximum pressure rating of 350 PSI. view full answer...
It sounds like the check valve on your regulator has come apart. Those are necessary for the operation of the propane system so you will need a new regulator. You may not have a leak on the hose and find out that the regulator was the culprit all along, but it is always safer to replace the hose as well.
If the # 100473-20-MBS has the correct fittings, you may need a single stage regulator like part # CAM59013. This regulator has a 1/4-inch NPT inlet and a 3/8 inch NPT outlet connector... view full answer...
The Propane hose you reference, # 37207-30925, has a 350 psi rating. Depending on the fittings you need, the MB Sturgis, # 100019-36 and # MBS94FR are available as well in three foot lengths, each with a rating of up to 350 psi. view full answer...
The female POL fittings with male threads on the opposite end are going to be the Propane Adapter Fitting - Female POL x 1/4" Male NPT Item # 37207-30095 and the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Fitting - 1/4" NPT x Male Type 1 Item # 204129-MBS. view full answer...
We do not have a pigtail hose that is larger than the 1/4 inch, which is the standard size, and the Winntec 6020 is honestly something I would replace, as it has been recalled in the past. Due to this and the hoses not being available, I highly recommend going with a better quality automatic changeover regulator with standard size pigtail hose fittings:
- Automatic Changeover RV LP Gas Regulator # 37207-30395
Then for a pigtail hose you can use any of the following, depending on the length... view full answer...
When connecting hoses like the Sturgis Propane Hose # 100383-48-MBS, The 1/2 inch flare swivel fitting does not need any Teflon tape or sealant.
Teflon tape or sealant can be used on pipe fittings like the 3/8 MPT on the opposite end view full answer...
The MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/ Back Check - Type 1 x 1/4" MPT - 20" # 100473-20-MBS is not rated for PSI based on its function. It is rated for a max flow capacity of 200,000 BTU's per hour. For a hose and type 1 fitting that is similar but used for a different application like # 100555-72-MBS the psi rating is 350 psi max.

No, there's no problem with having an O-ring on the end of your POL fitting like the Propane Hose - POL Pigtail x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 20" # 37207-30625. The O-ring is going to help eliminate the odor you're smelling by helping form a tighter seal. view full answer...
Different fittings require different methods of leak prevention so you won't always have a rubber O-ring on the fitting. For example, if we look at part # MBS77FR we see both a flare and NPT fitting. Using sealant tape # 37207-30025 or putty # 37207-30555 on the flare fitting can actually prevent the fittings from fully sealing together and you'll end up with a leak. On the NPT side not using some sort of sealant will likely allow a leak. POL fittings, like the # 204037-MBS you were looking... view full answer...
We do have the parts to connect your 100 lb tank to your 30 lb tank and what you will need is simply the correct tee and then a hose; there isn't an 8 foot hose but there is a 12 foot hose that will work for you. The correct parts are the following:
- MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve - 1/4" FIF and Disposable Cylinder Ports # 103612-MBS
- MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hose - POL Pigtail x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 12' # 100019-144

P.O.L is actually and abbreviation for Prest-O-Lite, for the company that first produced the valve.
This style of connector you will tighten the connector of the regulator pigtail by turning the fitting counter-clockwise, and you usually need to use a wrench to make the connection tight enough to prevent leaks. With the POL valve, if you open it with no fitting attached, propane is freely released. That's why a plug is required to be screwed into the valve during transport of the cylinder... view full answer...
There are differences that the colors reference for the Type 1 Propane connectors based on the spring tension and flow rate. The light green connectors are rated for Rated for 200,000 Btu per hour. The black are rated for 70,000-100,000 Btu per hour. The dark green are rated for 450,000-500,000 Btu per hour. The Red connector is the strongest spring and is often used for high pressure adapters and T-fittings.
Here are some options of each:
Dark Green # 204052-MBS
Black # 204024-MBS

The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate, part # VGD-10-4000 is confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Ram 2500.
It has a plastic blow molded frame and is very strong but it is not designed to be able to handle heavy weight like someone sitting on it or to place really heavy objects on it. Sliding propane cylinders across the tail gate will not be a problem. view full answer...
The TorkLift # TLA7708R battery box you mentioned is 8-3/16 inches wide, so its fit behind your propane bottles will depend on how much space you have available. The top is hinged, as shown in the diagram I provided, because you have limited clearance, the box wouldn't be a good choice for you.
Using two of the Tow Rax # TWSP14BP boxes might be an option for you. The boxes measure 14 x 9 x 10-3/8 inches tall. The lid of the box is secured by latches that would allow you to easily remove... view full answer...
Thread Sealant Tape for Gas Lines # 37207-30025 or pipe dope is only to be used on connections that use the threads to seal the lines. These are connections you typically see on steel pipe using NPT fittings. Your flared and inverted flare fittings use compression between the domed surfaces to seal off any gas from leaking. Using pipe dope or thread tape could push into the hose and restrict flow or break off and cause damage to any in line regulators or block the tip for burners. If you... view full answer...
