MB Sturgis Propane Fittings - 103612-MBS

  • Tees
  • 1 Inch-20 - Male
  • Type 1 - Male
  • 1/4 Inch - FIF
  • MB Sturgis

Hook up an auxiliary tank to your RV to provide propane in case your primary runs dry during long campouts and get extra versatility in your propane system. Provides you with a #600 (1"-20) outlet for cooking without disposable cylinders.


Features:

  • T-fitting lets you connect a backup auxiliary cylinder to your fifth-wheel or travel trailer propane system
    • No need to break up camp to go refill your onboard tank
  • Type 1 fittings install in-line between your tank valve and pigtail to your pressure regulator
  • 1/4" Female inverted flare inlet lets you hook up a pigtail attached to your auxiliary tank
    • Close the valve on your ASME tank to run appliances with an easily refillable DOT cylinder
    • When valve on your tank is open, can function as an outlet to run an appliance
  • Male #600 (1"-20) port attaches to extension hose to fuel appliances
    • Eliminates need for wasteful disposable cylinders that quickly run out of gas
  • Durable brass fittings approved for LP gas only
    • UL and CSA certified
  • Made in the USA


Specs:

  • Temperature range: -40 F to 350 F
  • Maximum pressure rating: 250 psi
  • 1-Year limited warranty


Note: When using quick-disconnect ports for cooking, bear in mind that the propane pressure is still high, as the Sturgi-Stay is installed before the regulator. Outdoor cooktops, grills, or other appliances will often require a regulator. Check your equipment to see if one is required.


Fitting Diagram

Make camping more fun and relaxing. Moving your 5th-wheel camper or travel trailer once you've gotten settled at the campsite is a real chore. No one wants to have to pack up, unplug, and go refill the propane cylinders, just to come back to the site and set everything up all over again. This Sturgi-Stay T-fitting lets you connect an auxiliary cylinder to your setup using a fill hose (sold separately). As a result, you can run your appliances off of the propane in the cylinder rather than using up the LP gas from your trailer's setup. When you run out, just refill the auxiliary cylinder and hook it up again.


The disposable cylinder port on the Sturgi-Stay provides a connection point for a small, portable appliance or propane tree. This way you can power a grill, heater, or other accessory without needing to use a 1-lb throwaway cylinder. Simply attach an adapter hose (sold separately) to your appliance and then to the disposable cylinder port on the T-fitting.

This unit does what it says it will however I think there is room for improvement. To use this system you need three wrenches on hand. A 7/8 for the hose to the gas cylinder, a 1/2" for removing the plug from the fitting and a 7/16 for the hose to the fitting connection. Why not make them both 7/16"? When you remove the hose you need to be very careful not to allow the ends to hit the dirt, why not have little caps on both ends to keep them clean when not in use. Again, it works but engineering wise could use some work for the price. This allowed us to use 20lb cylinders that cost 3.45 per gallon to fill vs 3.65 and moving the rig everytime the big tank got low.



by:

Arrived as described. Disappointed to discover that etrailer.com does not carry mounting brackets for their regulators, but I welcomed the opportunity to dust off my diy skills. Note the bailing wire. Super pro! Also, if anyone knows what happens when one uses a vertical regulator horizontally, I'm all ears.



by:

These Sturgi-Stays work well for expanding a RV propane distribution system without being limited to regulator BTU/H limit. We put one on both our RV propane tanks. Details of this RV modification and many others may be found here if interested:



by:

I've had these on my other RVs. Be careful and check for leaks, usualy around the valve stems. They claim they are rated up to 250psi but the fittings are marked at only 1/2psi. Whats up with that?



by:

I ordered this to save money on the 1 lb green tanks. Well it worked great for the first 10 months! It leaks around the on and off valves!! So I removed it before we had a bigger issue as this was connected to my propane tank under my Class A Motorhome.



by:

The problem I was having was orange flame on the stove. Looking on line it said that was caused by a defective propane regulator. We were using a humidifier, with the humidifier turn on we got orange flames with the humidifier turned off blue flames.



by:

Love that it works in freezing temperatures! Perfect for our off grid living!



by:

This is my second purchase of this product. The valve works as designed and saves a trip to fill the on board propane tank in the Motorhome. It is easy to install. I am planning on using this one with a Webber grill with a built in regulator. Highly recommend if your interested in using portable tanks(easy refill) with a fixed or built in propane tank.



by:

We are full time RVers. The Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting gives us a regulated external propane supply when we boondock half of each month. It is much easier to exchange a 20lb bottle than to pack up the rig and campsite for a trip to town for a refill.



by:

I am familiar with this product as I had it on a previous motorhome. I installed a new one on our new motorhome.



by:

Exact replacement to what the camper came with. It works great with no issues



by:

This hose is exactly what I needed to connect my griddle to my RV propane tank. It works perfectly.



by:

Is exactly what I was looking for.
My
grill has a regulator, so connecting to the quick connect on my trailer does not work. Now I can quick connect without having to modify my grill.



by:

Does not fit my propane regulator the round part fits fine but the stem is too narrow to snap all the way on



by:

I purchased this Sturgis fitting after trying another cheaper brand I found on a major online store. It was a waste of money and leaked from seals and connections from day one. The Sturgis, on the other hand, worked immediately and has been operating flawlessly since day one! Don't spend good money on cheap imitations. Buy good and buy once.



by:

good product but twice now the nut connecting to the diagram vibrated lose and i lost all the propane from my tank. Would be good if the nut could be a self locking nut.



by:

GOOD PRODUCT, GREAT FIT FOR THE RV, EASY INSTALLATION,
SHUTOFF VALVES ARE EASILY ACCESSIBLE



by:

The mounting holes (4) in the back were not threaded, so we could not use them. We have tried this type of regulator from Camo and Mr Heater. They use the same type of mounting holes / plate and are cheaper, but they stop working after about 3 yrs. We have tried the Auto switching regulators, for two 100lb tanks, they don't work at low temperatures (<0F).



by:

Great and fast shipping



by:

Seemed like the easiest way to get dual extra output (Buddy heater and grill).
Works fine.

  • Tee Connection for Feeding Propane to Both a Grill and Heater
    The MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve - 1/4" FIF and Disposable Cylinder Ports # 103612-MBS would be what you are looking for. This is a tee that has a port you can run to your BBQ grill and another you'd run to the regulator which would then run to your heater.

  • Why Does MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting Have Male and Female Threads
    The two threads you pointed out on the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve # 103612-MBS are on the outside a Type 1, ACME fitting and on the inside a POL fitting. A POL fitting is commonly found on the ASME tank used on motorized RVs to connect the propane tank valve to the RV regulator. Before the introduction of Type 1 fittings, POL fittings were the standard fitting for all propane tanks. Now, both types of fittings are featured on DOT cylinders. The POL fittings are...

  • Recommendation for Adapter Fitting and Hose for Small Propane Appliances
    A vertical regulator can be up to 45 degrees as can a horizontal regulator. You don't want to exceed that on either one. Your horizontal regulator will function fine as long as it is within that 45 degrees. For your application, I recommend the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve - 1/4" FIF and Disposable Cylinder Ports # 103612-MBS along with the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Hose for Small Appliance - Disposable Cylinder Ports - 12' # 100284-144-MBS.

  • Parts Needed To Add 100LB Propane Tank To the Propane System On an RV
    The MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail Hose # 100019-144 is the hose you need to connect a 100lb propane tank to your RV. This hose is rated for up to 350psi. You may be able to use this to replace one of your existing pigtail hoses if used on a more permanent basis, otherwise you will want to attach it to the T-Fitting # 103612-MBS. This will allow you to add the additional propane tank in line of the smaller propane tank on your RV.

  • Best Way To Use The MB Sturgis T-Fitting For A Portable Propane Campfire.
    You do not need to do anything to the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve - 1/4" FIF and Disposable Cylinder Ports # 103612-MBS to prevent propane from coming out of unused ports/connections. They are sealed until a hose or accessory is attached to it. When the Little Red Campfire Portable Gas Campfire # CAM58031 is stored I recommend disconnecting the propane lines to be on the safe side of caution. You could leave it attached but if the valve at the tank is not completely...

  • Solution for Supplying RV Propane Tank to Grille with Regulator Built In
    The issue would be that you have two regulators feeding the grill. What you'd need is a tee installed between the RV regulator and the tank so that you can feed the grill unregulated propane. To do that you'd want the part # 103602-MBS for if you have a POL valve on your tank or part # 103612-MBS if you have a Type 1 valve.

  • How To Attach Grill To Quick Connect Port On Side Of RV
    I do have an option for you but most propane grills have built-in regulators and the quick connect port on the side of the trailer is already regulated. Therefore, you'd need to use a tee to splice into the propane supply before the regulator. The MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting part # 103612-MBS for trailers or part # 103602-MBS for motorhomes along with a hose like the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Hose part # 100284-144-MBS (confirm grill connection type) will work great.

  • Replacement Regulator for Two DOT Propane Tanks Also Running a Generator
    For a regulator you can use the Camco automatic changeover regulator, part # CAM59005. It will automatically switch from the first tank as it runs low to the second to avoid any interruption in gas flow. In order to hook up the generator without disconnecting either tank you'll want to add in a T-connector in-line with one of the tanks. If your generator uses a Quick Disconnect fitting you can use # 103613-MBS or if it uses an inverted flare use # 103612-MBS. Both of the fittings also...

  • What Was Camco Big Red Fire Pit Designed to Attach To
    The Camco Big Red Portable Gas Campfire w/ 10' Long Hose # CAM58035 was designed to attach directly to a propane tank and would not be able to be used with the # 204132-MBS nor any other type of adapter. You could connect it before the regulator with the part # 103612-MBS and # 204132-MBS.

  • How To Connect Portable Fireplace/Grill To Port On Side of Trailer
    I do have an option to use the portable fireplace with the trailer but to the surprise of most, you cannot use the quick connect fitting on the side of the trailer for most fireplaces or grills for that matter. The reason for this is because most of these grills and fireplaces are designed to be attached directly to the tank which is why they have a built-in regulator. The quick disconnect port on the side of the trailer is already regulated and you cannot use two regulators in-line. Therefore,...

    I spoke with my contact at Camco who said that the Big Red Portable Gas Campfire # CAM58035 is only compatible with an auxiliary propane tank and should not be connected to your low pressure propane connection from your trailer. The idea behind it is that you aren't restricted to just the area around your trailer. This comes with a 10' hose but since an auxiliary tank is used you can be much further than 10' away from your trailer making this the perfect option for a variety of camping...

  • Pigtail With Excess-Flow Valve For Connecting Auxiliary Cylinder To T-fitting
    I do have an option for you but the JR Products Propane Hose part # 37207-30605 does not have an excess-flow safety device. I recommend to use the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hose part # 100019-15 instead because it features a ball bearing in the POL fitting that requires a certain amount of pressure to allow gas to flow. If there is not enough pressure for the ball bearing to press down it will not release the propane which means you have a leak somewhere. This pigtail is 15...
