Question:

Im looking for a propane hose that has a standard fitting/valve for a 20 lb propane tank on one end, and a 3/8ths male flare fitting on the other end. Does this exist? If not what fittings would I need to achieve that. Thanks

You'll need to get a 3/8" male flare union from your local hardware store. This will have a 3/8" male flare fitting on both sides and then you could use a hose like the Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator w/ 6' Long Hose # CAM57703, which has a built in regulator.

if you don't need a regulator then you can also get a 3/8" male flare to 1/4" female inverted flare fitting from your local hardware store and use a hose like the Propane Hose with Back Check # 37207-30795.
