r/propane

I inherited 120 gallon propane tank when I purchased a small cabin in the country. Originally it was hooked up to a travel trailer travel trailer does not use propane anymore. I’d like to get this tank set up for my barbeque and my fire table using the original reducer that came with my appliances. What do I need off of the propane tank the fire table and barbeque are less than 15 feet away.

This is the bottom of a small propane stove. It's a flat flared pipe with a threaded fitting that slides on the flared pipe. The thread is 1/2" - 14, but it isn't tapered.

Ignore the tape on the fitting, I'm helping a friend and they tired to connect it with a standard 1/2" NPT fitting with Teflon tape (spoiler, it didn't work).

I think it's be some sort of fitting like a female garden hose fitting, with a gasket on the inside. No idea.

Thanks!

Long story short, my stove gave out and I had an old cooktop in the shed. I decided to use it as a temporary fix, as I have a small oven I can use if i ever need to bake anything. I for the life of me cannot remember if it was converted to LP or not. I took the orifice out however it doesn't have the stamp saying what it is. it just has the numbers "90.0630"

I have tried checking online to see if I can just find the parts online to try to verify that way. However the part numbers I found all say they're no longer made, and had all info taken away on the Maytag site.

I'm just wanting to make some charro beans guys, I've had the odd craving for a few months now! Finally decided to make this them weekend and this happens. 😭😭😭 I just don't want to set this up and then it goes boom, or I lose my eyebrows and then some!

Will this set up work? Male threads on this line connect to the inner female threads on a standard 20 pound tank.

Update: I got it figured out thanks to you guys. I’m a dummy sometimes. I can safely close the vapor service valve at the tank, connect my long hose and burner and crack the valve a tiny bit and flare off the contents of the tank. All without blowing anything up. Shoutout to you crazy guys answering stupid questions in the middle of the night. You guys rock!!!

Ok. I’m in a pickle. I have an RV with a stuck solenoid plunger and a full tank of propane. I have removed the solenoid coil and tried tapping on the body of the valve, magnets…no change, plunger stuck closed. I have called every single propane supplier and rv shop in a 40 mile radius to see if they will pump the system out but no one will. I cannot change the valve without emptying the tank and I don’t want to empty it by the vent valve for safety reasons. I’m looking for the connector that is used to fill the pictured fitting. It’s 1-3/4” acme thread. My plan is to get the connector and make a hose with regulator to safely flare off the contents of the full onboard tank using a large propane burner I have on hand. Can anyone send me a link or the specific name of the fitting I need? I’ve found the same type I need but not in 1-3/4”. Desperate, and don’t want to risk blowing anything up by venting using the bleeder.

Hey guys, got a different one. My girlfriend’s family has an off grid camp that uses propane for a lot of things including these lights. This one specifically is starting to leak, what’s the best way to fix this? Are there a lot of different line sizes, would I be okay to patch it with something, etc. any input appreciated thank you

The time has come where I finally need to fill this bad boy up. Need some help with proper order of operations for disconnecting/reconnecting the tank. Correct me if im wrong:

1. Turn off main valve

2. Unscrew connection to hose line (goes to house)

3. Red plug in connection

Probably missing something here. Any advice helps, im new to propane...

Hey all,

I had a custom heavy duty propane grill built for me about 15 years ago. Everything still works but decided to replace my hoses considering they were beginning to dry rot.

My hose from the tank/ regulator is standard but when I went to change the supply hoses I found out they were high pressure 1/4”. Ok but they also had orifice tips and brass pin needle cut off valves.

I’ll be damned if I can locate replacements. No hardware stores, propane businesses or websites seem to carry this thing. Can anybody steer me in the right direction?

I’m using an old grill and just got rid of the old tank from 1998
