Use the right hoses and
connectors to get the most efficient use out of your
appliance.
Determine whether you have a
high pressure or low pressure appliance. Most portable
appliances are high pressure; built-in appliances and gas
grills are normally low pressure.

|
 |
-
High pressure appliances are
designed to operate directly from a
disposable cylinder. If used with a bulk
tank they must be connected without going
through a low pressure regulator.
-
High pressure appliances
generally have 1” – 20 or 9/16” – 18
connectors.
-
Most portable appliances are
high pressure.

Tank unions or hose assemblies
with fittings are used for single high pressure
appliance hookups. Straight tank unions connect
a Coleman or Primus camp stove hose which uses a
disposable cylinder to a bulk tank. |
| |
|
 |
90 degree tank unions connect
the horizontal outlet of a bulk tank to a mini
heater or lantern that normally uses disposable
cylinders. |
| |
|
 |
Hose assemblies with fittings
connect an appliance that uses a disposable
cylinder; or a Coleman or Primus camp stove hose
that uses a disposable cylinder to a bulk tank. |

An easy-to-use conversion kit
converts a 2 or 3 burner Coleman gasoline stove
to propane. |
 |
| |
|
 |
Splitters, distribution post,
and hoses allow for connections of multiple
appliance, which normally use disposable
cylinders, to one bulk tank.
|
 |
A distribution post connects
up to three appliances which use disposable
cylinders to a bulk tank. |
| |
|
 |
A splitter adds an additional
port to your system. Choose the correct splitter
based on hose and tank connections. |
| |
|

|
Multi-accessory hose connects an appliance that
uses disposable cylinders to a distribution post
or splitter for multiple hookups.
|
 |
 |
| |
|
 |
Low pressure appliances
operate through a low pressure regulator (set at
11” water column pressure). These appliances
generally have 3/8” connectors.
Built-in appliances and gas
grills are normally low pressure. |
| |
|
 |
Hose assemblies including
regulators are available to connect low pressure
appliances to a bulk tank. The regulators and
hoses are also sold separately. |
| |
|
 |
Quick connectors – disconnect
appliances from tank without tools or wrenches.
Choose the quick connector based on hose and
tank connections. |
