LPG Accessories Compatible with OTT Quick Disconnect Gas Port...?


MAX Burner

Recommended Posts

(Apologies in advance if this has been addressed before...  can't seem to find a post that covers it).

It's apparent that LPG accessories (fire pits, grills, etc.) with dedicated gas regulators are not compatible with the OTT Quick Disconnect gas port (if so equipped).  My understanding is that the first regulator at the tanks drops the working pressure too low for the second regulator at the accessory to operate correctly.  

Question:  What sort of modification/fix/work-around is needed so our LPG accy's are compatible with the gas port(s)?

At this point, we're using the dog house access port to connect the grill gas line to one of the LPG tanks - would prefer to use the forward or aft QD.

You can buy low pressure quick connect hoses and adapters to use with your Oliver propane port. Here is an example.

If you have a Blackstone this hose and connection will work. It's specifically listed for use with the Blackstone griddle, don’t know if it would work with other grills/griddles.

I use my Blackstone with no modifications on our QC.  For my Weber Q1000 I removed the regulator and it works well that way off the QC.  I think our Outland fire pit would also work, but we usually have it far enough from the trailer that I just use a 20 lb tank that I carry.  Mike

If you have propane powered appliances with built-in regulators you will have to remove or bypass them in order to connect it to the Elite's low pressure QD port. If the regulator is external you can replace its hose with something like what rich.dev mentioned above. If your appliance takes the 1 lbs bottle, you can use a straight hose with no regulator (something like this) to connect to a 20 or 30 lbs tank. I have a Weber Q1200 model designed for RVs, which does not come with its own regulator but does come with a 12' QD hose designed for connection to propane ports on the RV.

Awesome, y'all!  I'm thinking I can modify our Weber to make compatible with the QD fitting on the camper.  Many thanks!  This is an awesome forum...😎

You can search online, there are YouTube videos on the Weber.  You can also buy the parts needed.  It’s pretty easy.

Thanks, Mike - we're thinking its an easy fix to mod the Weber...  I'll search the YouTube vids, for sure.  We'll probably go that route rather than invest in a new Blackstone (they sure look sturdy, though)

I see a rubber or stainless steel option.  Any preference for either and what length is commonly needed?

I have two 10’ rubber hoses and one 15’ rubber hose.  I keep my Blackstone connector on one hose.  The Weber doesn’t have a unique connector requirement so I can use either of the other two hoses or connect them together if I need more length.  Mike
