204GAF039 - GREEN ACME, Type One Inlet tank safety fitting, is a wrench-less, user friendly, right hand tank connector.

► Full Flow Tank Connector.

► Type 1 Wrench-less x 1/4" M NPT fitting size.

500,000 btu/hr maximum output. 1 5/16" ACME x 1/4" M NPT. Designed for low pressure propane regulators (our COM5 series regulators, and other low pressure hoses and fittings). Perfect for use with most gas grills and other low pressure devices. Installation requires use of an 11/16" socket, preferably 6 point. Order a Green ACME and we will install it on the low pressure regulator you order. No installation charges. Pictured below is a Green ACME inlet installed on a COM5 regulator assembly.

Why should anyone order a Green Acme tank fitting for their regulator?

A Green Acme Type I tank fitting will screw into practically any propane tank except some of the very large 100# propane tanks. You tighten it up clockwise using your hand. It does not require the use of a wrench!

  Green Acme Front Side

MANC - Manual Propane Tank Changeover Throw Over Manifold Switch Valve Assembly includes the required (2) - 24" high pressure thermoplastic hoses and Green Acme Type One wrench-less tank connectors with back flow prevention. Valve is 1/4" ID female inverted flare x 1/4" ID female inverted flare x 1/4" male NPT.

How does a Manual Propane Tank Changeover Switch Valve Assembly work?

The changeover switch valve will screw into any high pressure or low pressure propane regulator. When one tank is empty, just turn the yellow lever to the full tank. Then close the tank valve on top of the empty tank, unscrew that Green Acme, and you are free to remove the empty tank for replacement. This is a very simple solution to a nagging problem of running out of gas at the wrong time.

(POL's propane tank connectors instead of the Green Acmes are available.)

COM-AC Low Pressure automatic changeover propane regulator with: (2) - model 100575-24 24" x 1/4" ID, 350 psi black thermoplastic tank hoses and Green ACME tank fittings x 1/4" inverted flare with safety back-check Type 1 inlet fittings, and (1) - 5' x 3/8"ID UL approved AGA low pressure gas outlet, hose x 3/8" SAE F gas flare swivel fitting. Longer length Low Pressure AGA outlet hoses are available. Includes mounting bracket.
 

How does an Automatic Changeover Low Pressure Regulator work?

This is the ultimate solution to avoid running out of gas. Regulator automatically switches from the empty propane tank to the full reserve tank, ensuring a continuous gas flow. The color of the dial changes from a highly visible green to red signaling that the first cylinder is exhausted while the valve automatically changes to the remaining full tank. Rotation of the handle to the full cylinder will restore the green color on the indicator. The built in safety back check permits changing out an empty tank while the full tank is operating.

160,000 btu/hr maximum output. 1/4" female inverted flare inlets x 3/8"ID female NPT outlet, complies with UL144 and NFPA 1192 requirements for use with recreational vehicles. RVIA required regulator plastic cap cover included. With integral mounting bracket shown below which is convenient to mount to a post or a 2" x 4" block.

TS9209210 - First Stage and Second Stage Low Pressure Custom Assembly mounted on a 12" x 12" x 1/8" aluminum panel with 1/4" mounting holes in each corner. The gas outlet is 1/2" FNPT. 950,000 Btu/hr maximum output.

TejasSmokers.com has fabricated a complete assembly including a 60" x 1/4"ID high pressure thermoplastic rubber hose outfitted with a 204051 Full Flow POL tank connector. The two regulators are pre-mounted on a 12" x 12" aluminum panel. The panel has 1/4" diameter holes in each corner for easy installation. Dimensions: 12"L x 12"W x 5"H.

Why would someone want the First Stage and Second Stage Regulators pre-mounted and pre-plumbed on a panel?

A First Stage and Second Stage Custom Assembly which is already plumbed together may be very convenient for situations where you intend to have a portable propane tank close to the house or very near a propane fueled generator. Also, for use with stand-alone, higher Kilowatt emergency generators which rely on larger volumes of propane from portable tanks.

The large capacity first stage regulator (RED) pictured at right is factory set at 10 psig. It is equipped with an integral relief valve and built-in 1/8" FNPT pressure gauge tap. The adjustment range, (normally not necessary), is 5-10 psig. Output capacity is 950,000 btu/hr.The second stage regulator (GREY) pictured at right is factory set at 11" WC. The adjustment range is 9 to 13" WC.It is also equipped with an integral relief valve and a built-in 1/8" FNPT pressure gauge tap.

Everything is already plumbed together and all you have to do is mount it on a vertical surface with the two relief valves facing down. (The black relief valves are shown at the bottom in the picture at the right.) The outlet threads on the Grey second stage regulator are 3/4" FNPT so either use 3/4"ID pipe or you can use flexible 3/4"ID low pressure gas hose at the outlet. Low Pressure Outdoor gas hose for the gas outlet may be found on our Natural Gas Hose webpage.

Why use a First Stage and Second Stage Regulator Separately?

When the large supply tank is installed a long distance from the point of use of the gas, then installation of the First Stage (high pressure) Regulator separately from the Second Stage (low pressure) Regulator may be advantageous in order to avoid noticeable pressure drops in the gas delivery downstream.

The large capacity first stage regulator (RED) pictured at right is factory set at 10 psi. The adjustment range, (normally not necessary), is 5-10 psig.
