Will MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting # 103538-MBS Fit a 524AS Horizontal Regulator

Question:

I want to be sure tnat this fits the 1/2 female connector on the built in motorhome tank. The current primary line hose that supplies the RV is 1/2 coming off the regulator. I believe I need 1/2 connections on each end. See picture.

It looks like there is 3/8" NPT fitting attached to the regulator on your propane tank like hose # 100040-48-MBS which has a 3/8" female flare fitting on the other end. Based on that MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting # 103538-MBS would not work.

I checked the regulator model and it is indeed a 3/8". It also has a 1/4" port on it so MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting # 103610 is a possibility. The fill hose has a 1/4" male inverted flare and a POL connection on the other side to connect to a tank that has the mating POL fitting. The included adapter hose fittings are 1"-20 male and female #600.

I have included a link to our help article on common propane fittings for you.
