Question:

Can you use quick connect fittings right off the tank before the regulator or are they only low pressure fittings?

Expert Reply:

Yes, you can install quick disconnects before a regulator by using a tee. The right one will depend on if you have a Type 1 valve (typically on trailer propane tanks) or POL (which is typically on motorhomes).

For example, there is the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for Type 1 Valve - Quick Disconnect and Disposable Cylinder Ports # 103613-MBS or the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting for POL Valve - 2 Model 250 Quick Disconnect Ports # 103537-MBS.

I have added a link below to all of our propane tees if you need something different.
