Can I Feed RV Appliances Propane Through Quick Disconnect T-Fitting From Auxiliary Tank
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I have a r.v. l.p. gas supply system. I have a t-fitting with a quick disconnect in line between the tank and regulator. I run an auxiliary portable stove off the t-fitting quick disconnect. Can I reverse the gas flow from a stand alone tank to the r.v. appliances through the quick disconnect?

Expert Reply:
If you have a T-fitting with quick disconnect port like on the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve Quick Disconnect and Disposable Cylinder Ports part # 103613-MBS you can back feed the propane from your auxiliary cylinder into your R.V appliances from the quick disconnect port because it doesn't have a back check. The other ports have a back check like the Type 1 port.
I recommend to use the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting part # 103613-MBS with the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Quick Disconnect Propane Fill Hose part # 100794-120-MBS.
