Question:
Hello, I am wanting to connect 2 100# propane tanks with POL valves to a generator. The Propane tanks, changeover regulator and hoses will all be outdoors 24/7. Do you have a recommendation on the best hoses and equipment to use for this setup? Thank you

Thanks for reaching out!
Usually generators will have their own regulator that connects directly to the propane tanks so if this is the case you just need a kit like the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting w/ Hose # 103538-MBS that gives you the connections to 2 propane POL fittings.
If the generator doesn't have it's own regulator then I recommend picking up the JR Products Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 37207-30395 and 2 POL pigtails like the 2' part # 37207-30635
The other thing to note is that if this is for residential use then you'll need a different setup altogether and you'll want to connect with a company that deals with residential propane to make sure everything you have is correct.
