: Added Propane Line for Grill

On the 5th wheel I am looking at, there is a black iron propane pipe after the regulators on the gas tank. It delivers the gas to the stove, heater, and hot water. There is a tee with one end capped that I can tap into for a line to a gas grill. I believe that this is a low pressure line. Has anyone done this and do you have to remove the gas regulator on the gas grill or keep it on? It looks like a simple job but I don't know about the regulators. How much pressure does a gas grill need/use?

Thanks in advance for your input.

The pressure is determined by the tank regulator. I would leave your grill's regulator on. It controls the amount of pressure to your grill. As long as the fittings are the same, you should be good to go! Enjoy those Ribeyes. :) :)

Oh, and BTW, my neighbors motor coach has a similar hook up and he uses his gas grill with its regulator still attached.

Well, the most common thing to do is to opt for the RVQ. It is a direct quick disconnect for that line. A RVQ is evpensive and small, but does the job well for camping. We had the dealer give us one in our deal (I'm sure we paid for it somewhere) that's the only way I would ever get one again. If you have an old gas grill you want to use, that is a good tap, just hunt down a quick disconnect for the fitting.

i ran into this problem last week. i have a weekend warrior and wanted to run a baby Q webber grill. it has its own regulator. the line running out of the tanks on the ww also has a regulator. after some research i found out i had to bypass the regulator by the tank using a t quick disconnect and running a hose from there. look up mutual propane they have all the fittings and hose you will need.

Yea, that is were you tap in,with a quick connect,most RV stores have the needed adapters, RVQ is good, but not the way to go, my buddy did it with a little BBQ of some sort with a long gas hose.(about 10') It works better that way, when it get's windy he can move his BBQ around to get out of the wind, I can't move my RVQ. If I could do it over I'd do his set up.:cool:

Good point now that you mention it. The last time we were using a grill that was running off my friends LP tank on his motor coach, the wind was a problem. If we could have moved it, that would have helped.
