Expert Reply:

For your 100 lb. propane tank you can use the Camco Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator w/ P.O.L # CAM59333. This regulator is rated for 160,000 Btu/hr and has the P.O.L. fitting to hook directly up to your tank.

You would then need a hose to run from the regulator to your supply line. Since you mentioned 1/2", a hose like the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Hose # 100383-48-MBS has a 3/8" fitting to fit in the regulator and a 1/2" female flare swivel on the other end.
