Air quick connect/disconnect for propane?

   / Air quick connect/disconnect for propane? #11  
the QA connects on my popup are the same design as compressed air QA's.

the only diffrance is there is a little safty lever on the side to prevent acidental disconnection and to assure postive seatment? (is that even a word?)

if your propain line is 300psi you've got serious issues! all propain tanks should use a pressure regulator AT the tank. after the regulator the pressure is only a few lbs.

That's about the same excitement as a harbor freight propane torch with push button igniter:D :D :D

Yes, if you're using it for cookstoves, furnaces, refrigerators, etc., but not necessarily for other things. I didn't use quick couplers, but for many years, I had a 10' high pressure LPG hose with one end that hooked to a propane bottle (20# bottle for a long time, but later a 40# bottle) and the other end had an adapter fitting so I could use propane torches that were meant to be screwed onto the one pound bottles. So the hose had the full pressure because the torches had their own built in pressure regulator. That was much handier and more efficient than using the one pound bottles.

like schism said at the most you'd opnly have a few psi pressure after your regulator, which on all my gas stuff I place it close to the tank.

When it comes to flammable products especilly propane gas (which is also heavier than air) which makes it a dangerous product in itself (like gasoline) Why not use the correct material for connections. If something happens , you may not get a chance to use the correct connections next time around.
If you don't use the correct fittings

Good luck to you

All propane tanks, regardless of size, have a 250 pound pop off valve. The first stage regulator at the tank reduces that pressure to 10 pounds. The second stage regulator at the house reduces that to 11 inches of water column. With portable or mobile uses, the first and second stage regulators are combined into one unit called a dual stage regulator.
