Type 1 connector lets you attach a propane regulator to your propane tank. Connector hand-tightens onto the tank while the male NPT threads attach to a regulator or supply hose. Safety valves stop flow in case of leaks or high heat.

Bypass Mode for Safety
This Type 1 connector will go into bypass mode if the flow rate surpasses the maximum flow capacity for this connector, which is 450,000 Btu per hour. A ball inside of the fitting will push an internal spring down, pressing firmly against the bottom of the fitting to shut off the flow of gas.
When choosing a Type 1 connector, consider your overall propane demands and choose a connector with a flow rate that just exceeds it. That way, you won't trigger the bypass mode during normal use, but it will trigger in the event of a leak. If the bypass valve engages, stop using gas and start checking your connections for leaks.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the MB Sturgis propane cylinder connector. The dark green type one is used to connect an RV LP cylinder to a high-pressure hose feeding the two stage regulator. This eliminates the need for wrenches and features a thermal shut-off and excess flow device. Maximum output or flow capacity is 200,000 btu's per hour. The unit provides the highest flow rate possible before going into bypass mode, allowing the maximum gas flow to power the coach appliances. The type one has a built in back check to ensure the system does not allow a back-flow gas leak when an automatic changeover regulator is improperly used. The other end features a quarter inch MNPT, which stands for male national pipe thread.
The unit features a temperature range of negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and this unit is certified for use in the USA and Canada. It's to be used for LP gas only. That's going to do it for today's look at the MB Sturgis propane cylinder connector.

As advertised. No surprises
Worked as advertised!!
Sturgis products are the best.
It is just what I expected.
Good job
Works as expected. Great!
This was a repair part/replacement for my deep fryer. Easy to order, fast delivery, works great! fryer/burner hasn't worked this good in a long time!
Looks well made. Says USA. Unlike the land of close enough, it has plenty of thread length on the NPT side.
Works fine as stated however 1/4" MNPT threads were poorly cut and a bit over-sized.
Still working great and so much easier than the old fitting to get on and off! Such a difference! Glad l bought it!
I haven’t put it on my regulator yet but you can tell by holding it in your hand that it’s a quality part
took to long for delivery, but other then that not bad at all....
Shipping speed was great. It was delivered right on time to go on a camping trip with our a-frame camper. Seems to be made of good quality brass, no issues with propane flow. This allowed me to replace a POL x 3/8 Flare for easy disconnect.
Solved the issue of having to use a wrench with my old connector.
As ordered.
I run a lot of propane devices from my camper's propane system. Griddle, large 3-burner stove, smaller stove, lanterns and generator. I got these to on the campers tank connections, to make sure I have enough supply for everything.
just in time fast delivery
Heavy duty and ready for work! Top quality. If you need one of these fittings, this is the one to buy!
There was three parts ordered they were what I had ordered and they went together very easily and work. The order was on time.
Beatrice B provided excellent service.
Will definitely use your company again!
