It comes with both the hose and regulator. All you do is furnish the tank and it's ready to go. Best BBQ I've cooked with in over 50 years!!!

I purchased a Marina C10 compact 10 watt heater with this tank and the heater is self regulating. I keep an eye on it and it works perfectly so far!

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

Jerry, I teed from the tank and ran a separate line to the shop then placed another regulatorwhere I entered the shop, the reason I did this was so when my other furnace and hot waterheater kicked in the pressure would not be too low, I maybe wrong but error on safety first.Your Propane supplier should be able to answer this question correctly .

No regulator is required. A filter is recommended. Seems like cheap insurance to me. Best of luck.

There IS a regulator in this heater, but it does NOT replace the external regulator. The external regulator that is required to complete the installation properly needs to regulate pressure at 11" - 14" of water. There is no "other" correct answer to this question. Connecting directly to your propane cylinder WILL eventually damage parts inside your heater.

valve is plug n play, no adjustment. Propane dosn't put out as many BTU's in cold weather.

It comes with a 30 psi adjustable regulator and hose. It is ready to go except for the propane.

I am not 100% sure. I received the regulator from Amazon. It had a rubber ring/seal inside the screw cap, which prevented me from attaching the regulator to the propane bottle. When I removed the seal, the regulator worked perfectly. Hope that helps.

I can't say for sure I'm not familiar with that stove but what I can see in pictures is that the regulator is at the propane tank which means that the LP gas is hitting the knobs. This means that you should be able to use the hose with the proper brass fittings but I did lots of reading and looking before I went this route with our BBQ and trailer quick connect. The quick connect fittings on our trailer are made by Fairview and I was able to get brass fittings from a local pump shop that sold pressure washers. Hope this helps.Mike

No. There is only 1 regulator. There are also 2 hoses- one goes to the grill and the other to the side burner.

You do need to get the small regulators. With mine I use my regulators for the acetylene and oxygen tanks. The acetylene regulator will fit on propane tank.

It should be a residential type tank 100 gal or larger, and needs a pressure regulator. My propane company came out and did the LP hookup after I installed the unit, I found they were happy to do this as I pointed out it was another unit to use their propane besides the stove...

It can be regulated. There is a dial that reduces your flames the same you use to turn the gas on. Hope this was useful, enjoy.

Steven - This regulator probably does nothing for you. Your Coleman stove should have a built in regulator. I use this regulator to control the propane flow to a burner for a smoker that I built. It works very well for that purpose. If for some reason your Coleman stove does not have burner controls (which is the regulator) you would need something to control the flow of fuel, such as this regulator.

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.
