Great Video.... I just built a steel building with a 1 bedroom apartment in it. So we will be using yellow plastic feed line through the building and will have several connections (Stove, Instant on Hot Water and Propane Heater in our main garage). I know this will pull quite a bit of BTU at one time if they are all on at the same time and its somewaht a long run (Yellow Plastic Pipe-100 ft) and wondered if the regulator can keep pressure up the whole length and with all items on at the same time?
@@bmizerek84 We are so sorry to hear about this! Could you provide the sales team with your order number or provide them with your name and shipping address so we can look more into this. Thank you!
In the video it shows after the ball valve it has the right fittings to attach to the tank but the item shown in the video doesn't have that. Are they included or sold separately? I'm very interested.
As a 35 year gas journeyman, I would HIGHLY recommend taking this video down. Someone is going to get hurt. Propane at a 5lb (aka a 138.9” w.c.) is much to high for appliance connection with a second stage regulator.
great video, but pricing is really excessive. especially the 15 WC gage ($28) and ($3 )1/2 coupling for 65 not in my lifetime..C'mon man!!! Even the regulator in only $85. It looks good but disclamer should be for those making over 200K a year.
This guy has the quick connects on the wrong ends. The female end should be on the hose coming from the tank. So no gas flows until the male is inserted.
Hi. Thanks a lot for the explanation! Question if I may,, I heard that I would need a regulator on (each) tank, and not only one on the output. Is that true, or is this set up that you showed with only one regulator is enough? Thanks again.
Wait where are the combustion products going? The air is direct heated right? No heat exchanger? So the exhaust gasses are going directly into all the rooms? Do you have carbon monoxide detectors set up while working?
Why is a separate HP regulator needed for each tank? Seems it would be more economical to use a T with a pair of shutoff valves between the tanks and one single HP (or dual stage) regulator. Something I am not taking into account here?
I would like to do this setup with 2 100 ib tanks. This is for a 2000 sqft home that has 1 Stove, 1 Gas fireplace and 1 Furnace. Currently i have ONE 500 pound tank but do not use more than 400 ibs per year. I sent in a request on your website......
This is great, I am going to attempt this with two 100# propane tanks to feed my house. Found out the hard way that when temps drop to the 20s one tank will not supply my furnace @ 100k btu. Hopefully tying both tanks to the the inlet side of my 2 stage regulator helps. Had a rv auto switch reg that was good until it wasn't due to low temperature for the tank. Thanks!
@@patriotvet5569 yeah, it's working. Tied in two 100# tanks straight to the primary regulator and it's blowing hot air. Before, the furnace would be under fired and would end up using a lot of propane to try and heat the house up. I used two kits from Amazon that would normally tie the tanks into series.
Is that the way you would set up two 500 gallon tanks too? I didn't know if you would tie the tanks together with high pressure and then regulate it down to 11" WC or regulate both tanks and then tie them together.
You set up all wrong and wasted alot of money when running 2 tanks together you simply run A line from both thanks into a t fitting then into a single regulator you don't need to run a regulator for each tank you only need one... if you want to be able to shut one off and keep running the other then simply put a shut off valve in the lines before the T you don't have to do this whole setup with extra parts it's unnecessary but there's no need for that because if your system is running right both tanks will be empty at the same time they will both need changed if you want to only run one then shut one off
Vaproization rate depends on cylinder size / tempature - #100 lb tank rule of thumb 0F aprox 50,000 btu/hr . at 100 lbs 71k btus, diminishing to 16k btus at 10 lbs remaining in cylinder.
Because standby generators can be portable. Spend $5k on a Honda EU7000 and its nice to have the option to take it with you on an RV or whatever when its not needed backing up the home
I have a question hope someone knows exactly what i need for my car to work .what kind of pressures regulator for a car that has been converted to propane
I have a propane blacksmith forge i want the psi to go up to 30 at need Right now i use a regulator i control but i want to hook up two 40lb tanks. I need to get up to forge welding temps I need to increase my psi. Even if i go to can use two lines that go into one regulator i can control you sell those?
Is it possible to feed gas from the portable tank thru a bargeque quick connect that is already on the RV? Tank is empty and I want to get the furnace running of a portable supply. Would this work? trying to see if the right connectors exist. I dont see any space to be able to connect this kit that you are showing in this video. some type of guard is in the way.
I'm from Trinidad in the caribbean can you just for God's sake put all the stuff you used for this video? Cause I prob cant get that shipped even if you made it.
