Question:

I currently have 2 20 lb tanks thru a non auto changeover valve. I am wanting to add a 100 lb tank as a main source thru a auto changeover valve and have the 2 20 lb tanks on the other side of this valve for reserve figuring to just use the tank valves to control the 20 lb tanks. What will I need and have to do for this? Thanks.

For you, I recommend using the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting w Hose # 103615 which will allow you to add a 100lbs propane tank to your existing dual 20lbs tanks. The red type 1 ACME fitting will connect to one of your tanks, and the pigtail from the tank will connect to the brass side of the fitting. Then you connect the POL side of the included 6' hose to connect to your 100lbs tank.

For an auto change over regulator, the JR Products Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 37207-30395 is a great choice that will suit your needs.
