Question:

100 pound regulator and 8 to 10 foot pressure hose for propane. What do you recommend? It is for a food trailer. Portable tank and I am hooking up to black gas line pipe. Can you help me with this?

Expert Reply:

To supply your food trailer from your 100 pound tank you're going to need a pigtail, like part # 100473-20-MBS, that goes from the tank to a regulator. The regulator needs to be a 2-stage regulator like part # 108220.

Then from the regulator use part # 100040-144-MBS. It's 12 feet long so more than what you need but we don't have an 8 to 10 foot hose that has a 3/8 male to connect to a regulator with a 3/8 female flare on the other end. The next shortest option we carry is 6 feet long, part # 100040-72-MBS. You also want to make sure your trailer fits a 3/8 inch female flare on its hard line but it likely does.

I've linked videos on each product for you. As well as an article on common propane fittings.
