Question:
Hello, How do you thread this piece on and tighten it down? Doesnt the handle swivel? I dont see a place to hold it with a wrench. If you can explain how, that would be great.

Hello Robert, great question. The best way to do this is to connect the Type 1 Propane Tank Connector # 204052-MBS to your propane tank which will hold it in place so you can thread on your hose. You will need to remove the supply hose from regulator, put the adapter into the regulator, thread on to a tank, then reinstall the supply hose last. Make sure to use thread sealant for your NPT fittings.

Hey Robert, how did things go threading the Type 1 propane tank connector onto your tank? Did connecting it that way make it easier to tighten everything down? Your update could make it easier for the next person working with the same setup.
