Recommended Hose And Regulator For A 44,500 BTU Propane Oven/Stove

Question:

I have a 4 burner with oven propane stove in my seasonal cabin that is rated for 44,500 btu’s total. It is piped with 1/2” black pipe for approximately 25’ with a 1/2” vertical riser on the tank end. 1/2” npt thread. I need a regulator and hose to go to a 20 lb propane tank. Thanks in advance,

Since we don't carry fittings that connect to 1/2" NPT threads I can only give you a recommendation on the regulator and hose and you'll need to get a fitting to go from the hose to the 1/2" NPT fitting from your local hardware store.

We currently offer the Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator w/ 12' Long Hose # CAM57721, which will come with a regulator that attaches directly onto the tank with a 3/8" female flare fitting.

If you can't find an adapter to go from 3/8" flare to 1/2" NPT then we also offer the Propane Quick-Disconnect Hose w/ Regulator # 37207-31275, which comes with a female quick disconnect fitting. You could find an adapter to go from your pipe to a 1/4" Male NPT Quick Disconnect fitting # 401132-MBS and then easily hook up your hose any time the stove is in use.
