Propane Fittings to Connect 100 lb Propane Tanks to a Generator

Question

Question:

Hello, I am wanting to connect 2 100# propane tanks with POL valves to a generator. The Propane tanks, changeover regulator and hoses will all be outdoors 24/7. Do you have a recommendation on the best hoses and equipment to use for this setup? Thank you

Thanks for reaching out!

Usually generators will have their own regulator that connects directly to the propane tanks so if this is the case you just need a kit like the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting w/ Hose # 103538-MBS that gives you the connections to 2 propane POL fittings.

If the generator doesn't have it's own regulator then I recommend picking up the JR Products Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 37207-30395 and 2 POL pigtails like the 2' part # 37207-30635

The other thing to note is that if this is for residential use then you'll need a different setup altogether and you'll want to connect with a company that deals with residential propane to make sure everything you have is correct.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.

A direct replacement for your Winntec Model 6020 is the Automatic Changeover RV LP Gas Regulator #37207-30395 as the BTU rating is compatible and they have the same fitting sizes.

I would recommend using shims to move the slide out awning #LCV000251461 out far enough that it wouldn't interfere and you could install it where it needs to go.

Answer 5

What you need is a T-Fitting and auxiliary hose like what comes in the Kit #103538-MBS, but your propane setup is a bit different than a normal RV so you'll need to get creative in how you're able to connect the T-Fitting. One end is a male…
