When using the hose with the regulator at the 20lb tank is it OK to leave the tank valve open when the heater is off ?

I believe you should always turn off the gas at the propane tank, and letting the heater burn off the gas in the line, so as not to turn the Plasticizer in the hose into gunk, which would clog up your heater

I use the 20 pound tank and roll it around in a small wagon. If you keep the valve turned on to the lowest amount of gas you need it will last forever. I found out you don't have to have it at a blow torch level to get something burning.

No problem. Also pressure regulator should be before tank if you need one. Put ours on this summer and love it. Yes it works.

The fuel tank is removable. I'm not sure about leaving the heater running as I never did that.

I use the mr heater ten foot buddy hose. the regulator is part of the heater.

It works fine with extender hoses made for the purpose. They don't have a regulator but rely on the regulator assembly that comes with the stove. The stove end of the hose simulates the top of a 1# propane tank. The tank end screws onto the tank connector. Another variation connects to a propane tree which connects to the tank. Totally easy, totally safe, designed for that purpose.A 20# tank is not convenient to lug around but lasts a lot longer if you don't have to move it around. There are intermediate size tanks that are a compromise between capacity and weight.

No, if you internal tank has a shut-off valve. Close the valve, install the tee as per instructions. I leave my main tank closed when using the external tank.

all you need is a two stage regulator for 100 pound tank cant use single and get 3/8 hose the length you need ...the hose plugs striaght into the regulator and the heater if you need the fitting for your heater you can buy that only at hardware store.they will know what you need..goes in bottom of heater and they will have a secondary shut off valve good for not havin to go outside to turn off gas..hope this helps..

Hello Janet, I have that air valve on one of my tanks. You absolutly can turn one on and leave the others off. im only using 2 of the outputs. The other is closed with no leakage.

Jerry I purchased mine for additional heat in my shop that is attached to my home , I also attached it to my 500 gal L.P. tank but you will need a regulator placed on that line , do not go direct from the tank with- out one !!! Note there is a slight smell , for the price it works great . any other questions contact me .

Yes. I don't even use the small ones anymore unless the 20lb one runs empty on me. It's a little tricky for me to get hose hooked up. I don't if the 1lb tanks get filled up or not. Never used them at the same time as the 20lber

Yes, since you have a closed tank heating water, the pressure will be higher. If you have someone in the house turn on the water, the pressure should go down. Then it will rise again when the water in the tank heats up.

Danielle,There is no problem leaving the heater on all the time as long a you have mounted it as per instructions. The Heater is completely safe as long as it is mounted properly

I think the answer is yes. One end of this hose connects to the heater where the "disposable" bottle (used to) connect and the other end connects to a conventional 20lb tank.

r. heater has a regulator in it. You hook your long hose to the place you hook the 1 lb. bottle. That is a regulator. That is if you want the 20 lb. grill bottle. Check what your hose is made of as far as filter. Certain hoses don't need a filter because don't make those hoses with a certain chemical in it that degrades. I bought one that doesn't need a filter. It is a little stiffer in the cold but I don't worry about it fowling.

You can crank the output down to 20, but the tank is auto shut off above 90psi. if you're doing fine artist's airbrush work, I would probably put a high-end regulator in the line sequence, along with a vapor trap. You don't want any pneumatic oil getting into your line, so you have to make the additional steps to clean the air prior to spraying paint - This is an oil bath system in the crank case, so it's fine for tools, but not good for paint or dusting without line filters.

No. The tank would have to be unsecured. Basically it is just a scale that is calibrated for the weight of a 20lb tank filled with propane. If the propane tank is protected from the weather you could leave the scale attached to the tank but I wouldn't recommend it. I keep my gauge inside the house protected from the elements so the spring inside doesn't rust or lose calibration.
