The regulator you need is MB Sturgis part # 108220. The maximum propane flow capacity of this regulator is 400,000 BTU per hour so it can handle the 18,000 BTU of your Empire wall mount ventless heater. The two stage regulator is also the best option for the heater that is most likely running for extended amounts of time.

Most likely there is a POL fitting on the tank, you can use 100019-48 pigtail to the regulator. The hose does not have a back check so you need adapter fitting part # 204120-MBS to be compliant and avoid leaks.

If you have a ACME fitting on the tank, you can use a MB Sturgis pigtail part # 100833-24 to connect the 100 lb tank to the regulator. The pigtail is designed with an internal back-check to prevent any gas leaks. It is also constructed of heavy duty braided stainless steel. You need adapter part # 402258-MBS to connect the pigtail to the regulator.

Yes, the #100019-24 pigtail can be used to connect your dual-cylinder 100 lb propane setup to the regulator on your RV. Since this hose does not have a back-check to contain a gas leak, you will need the #204120-MBS fitting that includes a…

Answer 7

No, if your auto-changeover regulator already has a built in back check then you won't need to add an additional backcheck valve on your Propane Hose - POL Pigtail x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 12' #37207-30685.

Answer 8

The two types of fittings you described match what the part #100019-36 is designed for. It has the male inverted flare that would attach to the regulator on your travel trailer and the POL style that attaches to the 15 lb tanks you have as well. This…

While we do have a hose that will do what you are needing, the Propane Hose with Back Check #37207-30785 would not be the correct option. This is because a 100 lb. propane tank is going to require a POL tank connection instead of a type 1 connection.…

As long as the Camco Single Stage Regulator #CAM59013 meets the specs that are required in a regulator to run your propane appliance, you can use a single stage in place of a two stage regulator. The #CAM59013 is rated for up to 200,000 btu and…

Answer 12

Since a fireplace is a low pressure application, you could use a single stage regulator like #CAM59013, especially if you're speaking of a small fire-pit type fireplace with the hose from the tank run being less than 20 feet or so. However, if…
