Just remember - 27.7"WC = 1psi.

Also, just another tidbit of info that alot of other folks probably are not aware of - the pressure in a propane tank varies GREATLY due to ambient temps - at 0F, it's only ~25psig and at 100F it's up to ~180psig!


Good to know, thanks. I had heard in general around 250 psi but again, sometimes I get inaccurate info. smile

Thanks again! This (the fitting(s)) was what I was trying to ask in my initial post - sorry if it wasn't clear.

For the others, I know I can get a coleman adaptor to come straight off of the large tank at high pressure, but this is not what I'm trying to accomplish. My camper already has a propane hose with a quick connect fitting on the side of the trailer - just need the fitting(s) for the coleman stove to connect to a hose from that quick connect - cleaner/easier connection. The fitting to connect directly to the stove is not available at Camping World, Academy or my local RV place - off to check with a propane supply house next, surely we can make something work.


I am PMing you the number of a place to call. As of when I was last there, they had Coleman hoses with the proper fittings available.

I would still double-check on the operating PSI of the grill. I think it may likely be much lower than 15 psi. That's just my gut feeling. You will have an unlightable appliance at the very least if you try to ignite 15 psig with a piezo or match. At worst, possible hazard.

1 foot of Head equals .434 psi.

So if we break it down, .434'/12" =.036 per inch.

Yes, also 27.7 inches of W.C. equals 1 psi. 27.77x.036 = 1 psi.

Just a FYI, but the regulator on an RV is typically a automatic changeover integral two stage that reduces tank pressure to 10 to 15 psi with the 1st stage, and the second stage of the regulator further reduces the pressure to 11 inches of WC just like the system's in a house. Can't speak to the two burner you have, but the hookup for your grill is more than likely also 11 inches of WC, so you will need to know what your two burner require's. It may work and it may not.

I might add that if your two burner require's more pressure than 11 inches WC, you should be able to use the regulator that comes with most two burner's (where the 1 lb throwaway's screw on) and run an approved hose to it from an extend-a-stay placed between the tank and the pigtail.

Extend-a-stay! That's the name of the kit I was thinking of that I wanted to mention. Thanks! Just had a flashback to the Stag-Parkway catalog. Many times I had to look that up for people.

I know enough that you don't turn the gas on and then go to the house for a match!

I'm too embarrassed to say how many times I have tediously wrapped tin foil over the grates on my grille only to have it blown off and ripped because the igniter didn't work on the 1st or second try, but decided to light after about 10 seconds on the 10th try or so... cry

Now I light the grille with the grate off and put it on after I see flames. cool
