Question:

I have two vertical propane tanks, 100 pounds each. I need a two stage regulator with a switch, this will supply my garage heater that is rated at 80,000 BTU. Im looking for a quality two stage regulator, not sure when I read the btu max ECT. Again the MR Heater, is set up for propane, and it is rated @80k btus. Thanks

Hello Edward,

I have the perfect regulator for you, the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005. Not only can this regulator handle the 80,000 BTUs that your heater requires, but it will also automatically switch from the primary tank to the reserve tank when it detects that the primary is empty. If you need some new pigtails you could grab a pair of the # 100833-15. I have also included some review videos so you can get a good feel for the products before purchasing.
