I have a large home "cylinder" style propane tank, anyone know how to hook this gen up to it?

The generator has a standard connector that hooks up to most portable propane tanks (20lbs tanks usually used for grills). The 100lb tanks I've seen also have the same nozzle that connects with this generator. Hope this helps.

We did it using standard couplings. It wasn't complicated. You can have your local propane company do it.

If you are not familiar with it have the local propane company do it. It is simple with fittings from Home Depot or mensrds or any type hardware store stocks them . I love this generator , easy start , nothing to do but keep the oil changed an trickle charger plugged in

If you could find an adapter that connects directly to the tank and has a 90 degree elbow or perhaps a "T" adapter that can be capped on the bottom and the top pointed up, that would probably be the only option. You can easily connect a hose from the propane tank to the stove, however, the stove would need a sturdy base to rest on. I believe the manufacturer does not recommend it be used in such a manner though.

Someone put this together for me and hooked it up so not sure. I would seriously advise you to ask one of the places that have LP gas, and they could advise you. As well, I think the book that comes with it maybe talks about fittings as well. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

No, you will need an adapter -- something along the lines of http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001H9K7WY to adapt the propane tank connection to 1/4" NPT.

I believe it can be hooked up to a larger propane tank, with the correct adapter. I may do this at some point but the little tanks last a while and they are only about $3.50 each.

The big knob looking thing in the picture on the right is the part that screws into the tank to direct the propane. On the bottom left you see a 90 degree angle piece of metal, this is a threaded bolt that tightens to the protective ring around the top of the cylinder via a small slit cut into the bottom of the upright.

The valve on this tank is identical to a 20 lb propane tank typically used with gas grills - right hand thread. I think the other end of your connector hose would need to connect to a "POL fitting with a left hand thread".

I am using propane with mine. That is the type of regulator that came with mine.

No, you will need an adapter -- something along the lines of Mr. Heater Propane Acme Nut X 1/4-Inch Male Pipe Thread for Up to 200, 000 BTU Flow to adapt the propane tank connection to 1/4" NPT.

short answer, no. it has to have the same connector as your gas grill type propane tanks

I'm not certain, but I used a standard propane tank that they sell for use with grills so I think yours should be the same as far as connecting. I just open the valve all the way and it works ok for me, so I don't think the regulator should pose a problem either.

Do yourself a favor, I have purchased 2 of these heaters. Take the hose/regulator and the 90 degree elbow with you to the home depot or Lowes and let them get the correct adaptor for you. That's what I did. If I remember correctly its not an npt thread on both ends of the connector. I don't know why Mr. Heater doesn't supply everything needed to connect to the propane tank.

It uses the regular old Coleman green 2 lb. propane bottles you find in the outdoors department of your local mega mart and they just screw on. Crack the knurled knob and flick the igniter near the tip then adjust the flame with the knob. Make sure the bottle is screwed on completely to depress the discharge valve in the bottle. 1 bottle should get you around the average sized yard several times before running out of gas. Shut the nozzle off, unscrew the bottle and hang the wand where it won't touch anything until it's cool.

Not sure if you know this but propane tanks have reverse threads. The connector must be turned to the left, or counter-clockwise, to tighten. Outside of that i dont have any answers. Mine is still working good after 2 winters of heavy use, going on a third with no issues.

I can't give you a specific answer other than to confirm that it didn't work for me either. It appears that the standard male connection on a propane appliance (a grill in my case) isn't long enough to mate with the valve in this connector. Sorry I can't be more help, but the issue of various standards for gas connectors is a bit confusing. bac

Hi. The kit's adapter (which you install inbetween the propane tank outlet on your current RV propane tank and the current regulator on your RV) has an input port that allows you to hook up a portable propane tank (a 4' hose is supplied in the kit). This allows you to run all of your RV's propane appliances (furnace, stove, refrig) off either your current RV propane tank or the portable tank. On the adapter there is also another outlet port that you can hook a 10' hose to (supplied in the kit) and run to your BBQ. So my guess is that you can run your fire pit by hooking up this 10' hose to it just like you would hook up a BBQ. Hi.

No. You must adapt stove to use this line connection. There are some YouTube videos on how and what you need. Remember think safe when working with propane and double check any mods you make.
