MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting w/ Hoses - POL Valve - 1/4" FIF and Disposable Cylinder Port

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.1729793

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.1289529

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:1716739

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?1748166

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.1702436

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.1712901

Love that it works in freezing temperatures! Perfect for our off grid living!1729359

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.1350625

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.1491676

I am familiar with this product as I had it on a previous motorhome. I installed a new one on our new motorhome.1774517

Exact replacement to what the camper came with. It works great with no issues1730743

This hose is exactly what I needed to connect my griddle to my RV propane tank. It works perfectly.1697233

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.1337127

Does not fit my propane regulator the round part fits fine but the stem is too narrow to snap all the way on1335156

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.1635106

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.1586055

GOOD PRODUCT, GREAT FIT FOR THE RV, EASY INSTALLATION,
SHUTOFF VALVES ARE EASILY ACCESSIBLE1631774

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).1514009

Seemed like the easiest way to get dual extra output (Buddy heater and grill).
Works fine.770639

What I like about this tee compared to other tees on the market is that it has quick disconnects instead of dedicated fittings.
Depending on the hose I use, I can connect one or two external LP tanks - for that extended park, without having to move the coach to get the tank refilled.
Or, I can connect an external appliance, like my portable LP grille, when I'm on a camping trip.
And I don't have to leave the hose attached to the tee where it might accidentally fall down and drag on the ground. When I roll I can just detach the hose and stow it in the basement.
Word to the wise - there's not much room in the LP tank space, SO I recommend getting the hose you want with a 1/4" MPT on the end that you'd want to connect to the tee, plus a Sturgis male quick connect fitting that also has 1/4" MPT. Connect the two together with a regular 1/4" FPT 90 degree elbow. That allows connecting the hose in a tight space.550291
