For that you will want to use a 2-stage, auto-changeover regulator like the MB Sturgis High Capacity Two-Stage Auto Changeover Regulator # 888001-MBS. This regulator has two stages to lower the propane pressure down to 11" water column, which is what you need. It also has an auto-changeover, so when the first tank runs empty; it automatically switches to the second tank.

You will need 2 hoses like the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail-Hose # 100019-24 to connect your tanks to the regulator. Then you also need a supply hose with a 3/8" Male NPT (regulator side) on one end and whatever connection you need for your appliance or inlet on the other end.
