Video Transcript for Ultimate Overview of the Propane T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve

Micheal: Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the JR Products, propane Tee Fitting. This is going to fit in line with your RV or travel trailer's propane system, so you can still continue to use all of your propane-powered appliances indoors, but it's also going to give you the connection to connect maybe a small portable item, like a gas grill or something, if you wanted to cook some hamburgers while you're out camping, you won't need an auxiliary tank or a small disposable cylinder to get that grill going. You can hook it right up into your gas system, on your RV or travel trailer. It's going to have three different ports here. This big green one is the male Type 1, or it's sometimes called an ACME or a QCC1 fitting.

This is what's actually going to thread onto the valve of your LP gas cylinder.You're probably already familiar with this. It's very easy to use. You can use the righty-tighty, lefty-loosey method to get it tightened down. That's going to be very easy to do, and you're not going to need any special tools or anything. And that is going to work with almost all of your LP gas cylinders.

They have the threading on the outside, will work there. Our other side is going to be our female Type 1 or ACME, also called the QCC1 fitting. So you'll take the male fitting that is currently on your LP gas cylinder, and you'll connect it onto this end, tighten it down, and that is going to then reconnect your system on your RV or travel trailer so that you'll have the gas flowing through this end, and coming out this end, go into the regulator on your RV.We're also going to have the male number 600, or it's sometimes called a one-inch 20 or a disposable cylinder port. This is what you can then connect to a gas grill or other small appliance to get that working. It does have the back-check valve on there to make sure that there is no gas leaks.

And then when you're not using it, they do recommend that you keep this cap on there to make sure just a secondary safety device and visually to make sure that nothing is open there, so no gas is leaking out.Keep in mind, this is designed for LP gas use only, so don't use any other turns of gases or water or anything like that. And one thing that you should note is that this is not recommended to be used with lanterns, flame lanterns, some other Tee's, you might be able to hook up, a tree as they call it and a long tube, you could then operate a lantern off of and still run your propane through to other appliances. This one, they don't recommend using that lantern with that. So keep that in mind, make sure this is going to be the part that you need for your setup. If it's not; If you're looking for another kind of Tee, different fittings, whatever the case may be, I'd encourage you to come take a look at our other options here at etrailer.com.
