I bought the GrillPro 11051 Universal Fit Propane Tank Adapter to use with the Brinkmann gauge in Feb 2014 and have been using them together on my 100 gall tank since then.

I use it on a 100 lb tank and it works great but you do have to get an adapter to hook the gauge up to the tank. I got my adapter from amazon at the same time I bought the gauge.

It seems to work satisfactorily on 10, 20, 1n 30lb tanks. I would not deem it accurate for a 100lb tank.

The black part of the gauge screws onto your tank and you screw your grill into the other end. It is "in series" or "in-line" with your propane hose. Also, this gauge works perfectly on my tank. Just make sure you screw it on tightly. I have experienced accurate readings and zero leaks. Highly recommend.

I believe you'll need to get "disposable tank regulators" as opposed to the large dual guage regulators you would use for a full size. eitherway, it has to have a regulator, or gas will release at tank pressure. talk about a bad day.

I used the one made for a previous gauge. Think it should be 2 and 1/8 inch diameter. Suggest you contact Moeller to get specifics. I used the Moeller gauge which was compatible with the tank.

I believe this is ok for such gauges. I am using another model but for co2 injection in aquariums and I get max 60 psi. But I am sure you don't need such pressure if you use it for beer only. Thus I believe your gauge is ok

mine was fine when received from the seller. The gauge will probably still work ok. Just make certain you handle & store carefully.Nick

It worked find for all the things I used it on. Are you sure your tank was full enough to put the presure out? Hope you figure it out. Smiles, ~Smitty~

The gauge shows two things, and they move together. One has a * 2 * 4 * 6 (etc) scale, the other has little bars that measure each 10 pounds of pressure. The first bar corresponds to 20, then there's the number 30, then two more bars, then the number 60, etc. The needle on the gauge, when I tried it just now, begins to move when I get more than 20 lbs. of pressure into the tube. The "2" on the numeric scale roughly corresponds to 35 lbs of pressure. Hope that's helpful

Hi Edward, Yes, you can still use the gauge. You will need a two stage regulator that has a POL inlet connection. Your gauge would hook inline between your tank and then the regulator.

The unit is still in for repair. The tank pressure gauge didn't work when I first pulled it out of the box. I would be very interested to see if I get an after market replacement gauge when I get it back.

I returned it. I wanted something that was on the tank all the time. With this,you have to handle it all the time. I could not get correct readings.My suggestion is try it If it works for you,fine otherwise return it

It is not an impact but it has plenty of torque *if* you have the recommended 90 psi OPERATING pressure at the gun (not at the tank and not the static pressure). I wrote about this elsewhere but I rented a free air pressure gauge from AutoZone, bought $4 worth of air fittings from Home Depot and made a T-fitting at the gun to set the 90 psi OPERATING pressure via the compressor regulator. If you don't have 90 psi operating pressure at the gun you will be disappointed in its performance. Once you have it set be careful and hang on tight - it can be a knuckle buster. :)

I use this on a 40 gallon tank and it works very well. I believe that the correct size for 40 gallons is their 100Watt unit. I intentionally purchased an over-powered unit because my house occassionally drops to around 60 degrees F when winter weather is severe (like last year's winter). This unit maintained the tank at the set temperature throughout.

Christian, This heater is the very best we've owned, but it will not operate on a 20lb. portable tank in my opinion. We had tried a 40lb. tank from the local propane dealer many years ago with a different heater and it worked, but not well.....took an entire day to heat the pool and used so much propane [because of the lower pressure of a portable] that it was totally consumed in two days' time. We have a large [permanent] 80lb. unit now like the ones that people use for small home heaters and propane cooking stoves.....one fill lasts almost all Season and the heater runs like a champ.

This is a 2 stage regulator, and it has the POL fitting which should fit into the threads on a 100 lb tank. Based on that, it should work for you. I installed one of these on a 20 lb tank at my hunting cabin to run a 4 burner cooktop and an 18000 btu wall heater. It has worked well for about 3 years so far.

I have this in-line gauge, between the pump and the valve. I've noticed the cheap pump fights the tire pressure when trying to read it with the gauge. Not sure I like the pump; I suspect it is the pump/gauge that's the issue - not necessarily the 90 adapter.

We just got ours installed yesterday and it works great. We did not have any problems with it cutting in and out. There is something about having a nothing smaller than a 100 lb tank. Could that be an issue?
