How to Install Quick Disconnect Fittings on a Ryobi 900 Watt Propane Inverter Generator

Question:

Hello, I am looking for a quick disconnect setup for my Ryobi 900 Watt Propane Inverter Generator to connect it to a 20lb tank. Basically i would like the male quick connect fitting at the generator takes a 1 20 thread i believe, whatever the 1lb bottles are and then the female quick connect on the hose with a standard screw on connection at the 20lb tank end. This way i can use large tank without having to screw / unscrew the adapter hose into the generator every time.

I have exactly what you need to use a quick disconnect fitting setup with your Ryobi 900 Watt Propane Inverter Generator. For this, you are going to need to use the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose part # 100476-48-MBS on the generator side and the Camco Propane Hose w/ Shut-Off Valve part # CAM57629 on the propane tank side. This is of course assuming that you are correct in that you have a 1-20" disposable cylinder port on the generator. There is also not a direct male 1-20" to male quick disconnect fitting which is why you need the extension hose.
