Question:

The POL connector was for old style propane tanks, therefore my order would not fit my tank. This screws into my tank and leads to a regulator that feeds my camper. This connection is the newer connection that uses the larger outside threads. So I need the tee to connect to the tank and connect to this hose that goes to a regulator. Ideally I would like a quick disconnect outlet that allows a quick connect hose to feed to my grill that takes 1 lb disposable tanks. If possible I would like a quick disconnect connection to my grill. I know it would have to eventually terminate to the screw in type to my grill.

Expert Reply:

Although it isn't paired together in a kit, you can use the T-Fitting # 103537-MBS with the Quick-Disconnect Propane Hose # 100476-72-MBS for your application. This provides you with the quick-disconnect equivalent of the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Flow T-Fitting w/ Hose for POL Valve # 103608 that you referenced.

You should have the internal threads for the T-Fitting # 103537-MBS to fit on your tank. Even though the newer style threads on the outside, most new tanks still have internal threads as well so that they are compatible with older applications. If you wanted to use the tee # 103613-MBS instead this would work directly with your current connections. On the other side of the tee you can either use the JR Products Adapter # 37207-30125 with your current pigtail, OR you can simply get a different pigtail that matches up with the POL fitting and your regulator. Use part # 100019-24 if your regulator has a 1/4" inverted flare or part # 100202 (with Teflon tape) if you don't already have the 1/4" adapter (like part # 37207-30045) in your regulator. While there are no adapter fittings that you can install on your grill, you can just leave the hose # 100476-72-MBS mentioned above on your grill.
