What pressure is required for full BTU? Propane pressure is normally 10 inches of water for a house reduced from 2psi from Hi pres reg on tank.

Propane pressure regulators are designed to reduce pressure from tank to 10 inches of water column coming into the house. If you already have the pressure regulator, you don't need the regulator that came with the new stove. Propane equipment is designed to work off of 10 inches of water column.

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...

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.

Depends on the area of the country. But normally 10 to 11 psi.But read the instructions and following them.

General rule of thumb is 30 BTUs per square foot. This can change by some other factors up or down.

A 20 lb. propane tank measures approximately 18 inches high by 12.5 inches in diameter, 40 lb. propane tank measures approximately 29 inches high by 12.5 inches in diameter, So width is fine but as you said, you'll be short by 11 inches

No, it requires a regulated gas supply down to a low pressure in inches of water, not tank pressure. Look at a Mr. Heater Buddy heater, they have an internal pressure regulator and are designed to connect directly to a tank such as a small cylinder or a 20 lb grill size tank or larger.

This device description says a pressure reducing valve should be used if the pressure exceeds 60 PSI. I've used it with over 100 PSI to reduce hammer, but when I measured 120 PSI I had a plumber install a pressure reducing valve which reduced the hammer and stress on appliances. Some appliances are rated to a maximum 100 PSI, my Kenmore washer manual says maximum 116 PSI.I use a Rain Bird P2A - Pressure Gauge to check home water pressure.

James, I assume your heater and your stove are designed to use the 1# canisters of propane and that you will purchase the hose that fits a 20# cylinder and, at the other end, has a fitting that looks like the top of a 1# canister (Hose F273702).That hose feeds high pressure from the tank to the canister connection on your appliance. The appliance has the needed pressure regulator. In this HIGH PRESSURE application, you DO NEED the filter to trap any oil that is leached from the hose in high pressure uses.Jim W

Hi, I did have one of these. Very good little pump. wouldn't draw water from a source deeper than seven to ten feet deep. Pressure was sufficient to run an instant propane hot water shower. Worked very well in fact. Yes there was a built in pressure regulator. I recommend this for camping/ RV / any sort of backcountry house with no mains. Worked well and rugged.

Hook up to a propane tank and an appliance. Make sure the appliance is turned off so that no propane should be being consumed. Then open up the propane tank (leaving the appliance off creating a closed system). Let the tank stay open for around 10 minutes so that the system pressurizes. Then turn the propane tank off. If you see the needle begin to drop then you are losing propane and have a leak.

Greetings, Michael. Not sure what you mean by high or low pressure, however I can tell you I run it off of a standard propane tank (used for a cooking grill for example) or off of a larger whole house propane tank. While I haven't used it much, it has worked flawlessly the times that I have.

Tanks like this are filled by weight, hence the 100 pound rating. A 100 pound tank empty weighs about 70 pounds so when full this will weight about 170 pounds. Tanks are typically filled 80% full to allow for expansion, because at standard temperature and pressure propane is a gas, but it is easily compressible into a liquid. If you calculate the volume of this tank it is roughly 30 gallons but you only get and pay for roughly 24 gallons.

Quick Connect fitting is 3/8" female NPT. The end opposite the Quick Connect is a 3/8" Flare for flare connection. I connected mine to a BBQ. I used the quick connect to a line from my homes propane with a 3/8 shut off valve. The other end goes to my BBQ,no need for a pressure regulator home line pressure for propane is low enough for a BBQ. You will need an adapter to convert that to NPT with a pressure regulator!

The key is not tghe size of the tank but the regulator. We use a 25 gallon tank (the ones about 4 feet tall that you can get a home depot or lowes for about $100. We went to a propane place to get the regulator and told them we were using a heater this size. We also cook with the propane.

Coleman 2000005062 5-Ft. High-Pressure Hose & Adapter; This is available from Amazon for $20 and connects the larger 20lb propane cylinder to appliances built to screw onto the 1lb cylinders. Since it has a hose, you will have to somehow mount the burner to something else, since it normally just sits on top of the 1lb cylinder.

You still will have to have a regulated line, perhaps you can split the line that feeds your trailer from the propane tanks already installed on the trailer, no matter what you will have to bring the inches of water pressure down to the necessary 10.5/11 inches of water to operate the outside propane appliance.
