You will most likely need the JR Products Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 37207-30395 for going to your furnace. Be sure to verify with the furnace manufacturer that a 11" WC regulator that delivers 345,000 BTU P/HR is compatible with that furnace. With this auto changeover regulator it will draw propane from one tank until empty and then switch over to the 2nd tank automatically so you won't have to change anything to the 2nd tank.

To connect your 100lb propane tanks to the regulator you will need 2 of the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hoses # 100019-24.

A 12' MB Sturgis High Pressure Propane Hose # 100040-144-MBS will exit the regulator and give you a 3/8" female pipe thread connection for attaching or adapting to the connection on your furnace.
