Propane Outdoor Appliance Upgrade
'Bird Upgrade...Additional Outdoor Propane Appliances...
We will be camping over Thanksgiving. Eight units will attend this camp out. I'm on the hook to deep fry several turkeys. Have wanted multiple propane outlets to operate additional appliances, so today, installed two additional propane outlets at the 'Bird propane tank, and had two 12' hoses made up to connect the appliances. Will probable add a third outlet as there is room to add it. I did the same thing on our previous 'Bird and it worked great. This set up eliminates hauling the smaller propane tanks/bottles and makes good use of the 'Bird 35 gallon propane capacity. I'll take pictures if anyone is interested in seeing this set up. -- Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38 8V92 "MacAttack Racing" Anaheim Hills, Calif. |

Propane Outdoor Appliance Upgrade
I have set up a manifold system for the LP, that allows me to power 2
grills, an outdoor heater and fake campfire, all from the one coach LP outlet. Unregulated LP comes from the BB quick connect via a 6 ft hose to a manifold I lay on the ground. Based upon the LP appliances I have, I use two regulators on the manifold - one regulator works for the two grills and heater, the campfire required a different regulator. From regular 1, I have piped 3 quick connects, and from regulator 2, one quick connect of a different size. I use 20 foot extension hoses to reach the LP appliances wherever I place them. By having the one hose setup with different size ends (quick connects), I cannot connect the higher pressure LP from the one (campfire) regulator to the grills or heater. I use safety connections that do not allow the LP to escape from the hoses (20 ft of LP is a LOT) when disconnected, but I am also careful to shut off the LP at the coach and let the LP burn off at the appliances before disconnecting. I hope this helps. It is a bit hard to describe. I can take some pictures, but not until next week due to my schedule.

Curt:
Great idea. I browsed the pictures. It looks like unregulated gas to the regulators on the appliances. Is that correct?

Curt,
Very nice job. I wish my tank looked that new. It's great to see you didn't use teflon tape on the joints. That is a no-no on gas connections, but I sometimes see it non-pofessional work. In case someone might not know, small pieces of the tape can flake off and get into the regulators and gas valves and cause malfunctions. The worst case is that the safety shutoff could get stuck open.
