Can Regulator for Camp Stove be Used if Trailer Already has a Regulator

Updated 04/05/2021 | Published 07/05/2017

Question:

Are there any issues with using this product if the propane to the qd is regulated by the trailer then goes through the camp stove regulator?? Seems to me that the trailer pressure is higher then the camp stove regulator and it should work fine. Is this an error in my thinking? Thanks

If you will be connecting the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose for Small Appliance # 100476-120-MBS directly to your trailer then yes, it will work properly as long as the propane is being run through the camp stove regulator as well.

Be mindful that this hose cannot be used on a Coleman high-pressure product that is run off of a low-pressure propane system.

Good day; I'm hoping to use the Quick Disconnect hose to connect a Eureka Ignite two-burner camp stove. It is designed to run on 1 lbs bottles and has an internal regulator. I already have a female quick disconnect on my trailer. So to reiterate your answer above, if the stove has a low pressure regulator and I supply it with low pressure gas from my trailer regulator everything should work fine? I've looked at the stove manual and the Eureka website and I can't find more information on the internal regulator or its output pressure. It only is about a 10.000 BTU setup. The regulator is internal to the main stove connection fitting and cannot be bypassed. Currently I am experiencing low flow on my first attempt to use the stove. I am going to investigate/reset the regulator tomorrow in case i tripped its leak detector function. Thank you very much for your assistance.

As long as you aren't running through an additional regulator already coming from the tank, the hose should work fine to run your stove. Since the stove already has an internal regulator, going through two would reduce the pressure too much for it to operate properly.

@ChrisR the problem is the propane is going through the camper trailer regulator before it comes out at the campers quick connect. Eureka camp stove has its own propane regulator too, thus the propane being double regulated and two low of a pressure for the grill to work properly. I (we) need to find a way to connect into the Eureka camp stove without using the Eureka regulator. So far I have been unable to find the right size connection to fit the Eureka. Coleman grills have a different size, I just bought one off of amazon and it didn’t fit. Thoughts?
