Question:

What am I missing? The Sturgis T fitting seems to have more than the Camco Tfitting , but costs less. Please advise as to which is best

Of the two options the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for POL Valve part # 103537-MBS has two of the 250 quick disconnects which you will find on a ton of RV accessories. The Camco Brass Propane Tee w/ 4 Ports part # CAM59113 has a 1"-20 Male throwaway cylinder thread lets you attach a hose and a 1/4" Inverted flare for connecting a propane line.

There is no difference in quality between the two. One is designed for traditional type fittings the other for quick disconnects like the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Adapter Fitting part # 401132-MBS that will attach to 1/4" NPT hoses.

Of the two I like the quick disconnect since so many accessories are coming standard with the Type 250 connections.
