How to Connect your Propane Tank to your Grill

Some LP systems can be run as 2 systems and they ahve a secondary regulator at the house. This allows a smaller gas line size for solves some delivery problems.
Your system may or may not have this. Don't guess! Ask your Propane supplier.
Buy, refill or exchange a propane tank
Quick grill boxes are available, again, check with your gas vendor. You could run a line out to the deck to this quick conn box and put a pigtail on the grill. I recommend a removeable qucik connect as it is easier to move the grill. For hard piped my grill once and didn't care for it. I prefer the flexibility of wheels CurlyDave Elite Member. I had a line installed when our hookup was built, but have decided that I grill the convenience of just using the 5 gallon tanks.

Connecting Your Propane Tank To Your Grill
We did this and love it! When plumbing our propane in our house, we ran a line to the deck propane back where the BBQ is. It has a shutoff we shut that valve after using BBQ in case the BBQ has a leak and a quick connect hose made at our local hose shop specifically for this, you can also pick them up many places. Basically took the regulator off the BBQ hose going to the tank it had and then connected the propane hose with quick connect we wanted quick connect so we can store the BBQ in the shop in the winter without undoing connections.
