Question:

I need a temporary line to hook up my new tank, until spring when a permanent line can be put in ground. But I dont know which line to get.. Its approximately 40 from house to tank. I have the correct regulators.. First and second stage, but not sure what line to buy.

In order to choose the correct propane hose you will need to know what size fittings you have on either end of the accessories that the line will be hooked up to. If you are referring to a dual stage propane regulator such as the MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # 108221 then these usually have a 3/8" NPT outlet. If that is the case then the MB Sturgis High Pressure Propane Hose part # 100040-144-MBS is the longest we have at 12' but you could certainly combine multiple to get the length you need. If the propane manifold that is in your house does not use a 3/8" NPT fittings you could easily get an adapter from a local hardware store.
