The black know attaches to the tank valve the brass threads attach to your hose

The Camco gauge attaches to the tank, and the hose from my grill which has the regulator on it attaches to the Camco gauge. So, I guess the answer is the regulator is "downstream" from the gauge.

This propane gauge attaches directly to the propane tank, before the diaphragm regulator...

The temperature adjustment thermostat is located right on the front or the tank, where the gas line attaches

The regular bbq propane tank sits on the back and connects withe a normal screw on hose. Very straightforward.

It does not need any adapter to attach to a 20# propane tank. It will connect to the left handed threads in the OPD.

The unit is machined from a single piece of metal that is thicker than necessary plus the design incorporates a safety feature in its design to smoothly regulate the propane transfer to eliminate the chance of dangerously overfilling your tank according to the literature included with the adapter I received.

Yes, we are using this adjustable regulator on a std propane tank (available at any home center). The new style tanks with the course external threads on the valve also have the finer inside left handed threads that this regulator screws into. If for some reason your tank valve does not have the internal left hand threads the regulator will not fit.... in that case get rid of your tank.

Usually there will be a regulator on your natural gas meter on the side of your house or at your propane tank outside your home depending on which type of a gas you are using. So yes it does need a regulator , but if your house is running propane or natural gas it already has a regulator in place. I installed my eccotemp FVI-12-LP to a 20lb propane tank using a regulator from a propane shop rated for the water heater btu . Also you can't use those plastic handled hoses that you see on BBQ or rv tank connections because they contain a check valve that will cut the flow of gas to your heater when you fire it up. The check valve thinks there is a gas leak because of the high demand of the water heater, its a safety feature for bbqs. Hope that helps.

The LP5500 unit is designed for use with a 20 lb. or 30 lb. tank, but can be utilized with a larger tank. To ensure the unit will properly attach to your larger LP tank, we recommend contacting a local plumber, or the propane company that supplied the tank. Generac does not offer a kit or parts to attach to any other tank, but your local plumber should be able to ensure your connections are proper and meet your local code. The regulator inlet pressure from an LP tank should be between 30 and 100 psi. Please note that any damage to the unit due to utilizing a larger tank will not be covered under warranty.

I am not sure. I'm sorry I cannot be much help but I would suggest starting with your propane provider or local plumbing store. you are fortunate to have the big tank to draw on. the little 20 pounders don't last too long and very expensive. good luck in your search!

I suppose it would work the same on any propane tank of that size. It just magnetically attaches to the side of the tank.

It is connected to a set of 30 pound propane tanks and it is workingd good. It is using only one tank at a time. A 20 pound tank I have never tryied.

It seems like the gas and liquid connectors attach to either post. As long as you connect them correctly, they seem to work fine.

This gauge has been calibrated to work on the standard 20lb. propane tanks which are 40lb. when full.

The propane tank should hang from a "scale" on the right side that shows how full the tank is. Check out the manual, it will show the mechanism.

There is only a threaded standoff on the tank, you will need to find the proper fuel connector to thread into it for your application.

It depends on whether you're using a 20 lb propane tank like you would with a gas grill or if it's being connected to a large tank that would supply your house. In both cases an air mixer is required for propane use, and then standard fittings should be connected with a shut off valve to control the burner.
