Does propane flow when you remove the male fitting but leave the valve "open"? I want a redundant shut off.

The flow is supposed to shut off. However, most quick connect type fittings ( I'm very familiar with the compressed air quick connects) eventually leak and I believe these might as well. To eliminate the chance they would leak a ball valve is included. After 1 year mine seal very well without using the ball valve.

If the valve handle is open the propane will flow, regardless if the male fitting is in place or not. If the valve handle is closed the propane will not flow.

No, just turn the tank valve off for installation. Once installed there is a check valve in the kit that makes a seal to prevent leakage from the open hose. If using your remote tank shut the main tank valve off. This is a great setup for extended stays.

NO! the gas nozzle for propane and natural gas are different. You may be able to change out and install a natural gas nozzle, however why not just buy the natural gas model if available. Note: any modifications voids the warranty. Note: this model does not have a shut off. You have to shut it off at the gas supply.

There is a on /off knob on the connector to the tank. You would turn the knob to off then unscrew the tank with no propane leakage.

Mine came with a special hose that was for natural gas connection. I had a plumber put a quick-connect connector on and a valve on my natural gas line. It does not have the twist type end that a propane connector usually has. Hope that helps.

You probably need to have the valve connected to the propane tank cleaned. I'm not sure how to do that.

This will item not connect directly to the tank, it has no automatic shut-off so if you leave the tank valve open and disconnect the fitting propane will flow out at full pressure if unregulated. You should use a female quick connect fitting attached to the regulator, then use this fitting attached to your hose. The hose can be connected directly to the grill. Or connect the hose to the regulator, the female QC fitting to the hose, and then the male QC fitting to the grill. Most hoses and fitting are designed only for low-pressure, regulated supplies, so a regulator must be connected directly to the tank. Hope this helps!

I had an issue with air in the propane line. It works fine now. Disconnect the line Thenreconnected again

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

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".

The male end is a factory or machine permanent connection. It's an excellent, stable and sturdy connection. The female quick connector is loose in the package so you can attached it to your propane or natural gas source. Happy Day!

If you are referring to the propane system, then definitely yes. We put a cutoff valve directly before the heater as a safety precaution.

I took the propane bits off before I even assembled the grill and connected it to my house's natural gas line. Works perfectly. They want you to buy a "conversion kit" which tells you to remove the bits and connect a hose (which you can get at home depot for a few bucks). YouTube it.

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

You can narrow the orifice . So I guess the answer would be yes. I'm sorry not a better answer There's not a low water shut off and I burnt the motor in mine. It did work well prior to that

No, it is just the connector and there was no shut off valve. That would be a nice feature though.

Yes, as Jason said below. Just remember to shut off all four of the valves before disconnecting.
