Can it be connected to a 5 gallon propane tank if I get the proper fittings?

The manual says to only use the recommended tanks and says that it's not safe to use others. That doesn't mean that you "can't" use another tank with it, but it probably means that it's inadvisable and likely invalidates the warranty. I have not tried to hook anything other than 1-lb. propane tank to it (Ace Hardware brand), so I can't say for sure what is possible. I can only say that I wouldn't try to do it because I'm pretty squeamish about possible leaks using hardware that's no recommended by the manufacturer.

Yes...with this hose. http://www.amazon.com/Camco-57636-BBQ-Adapter-Hose/dp/B00192KZ2Q/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1380668569&sr=8-14&keywords=Olympian+gas+hose

Camco also sells an adapter hose and it says on their item description that it can be used with this portable grill

My husband says yes. It might even make the threads on the stove last longer.

This connector is just like what you have on a liquid propane tank, at 80 degrees around 128PSIG, at 130 degrees around 257PSIG. Regulated is usually 0.5 PSI and usually at most 15 PSI, a very different range. The valves, passages, etc are also made for these high pressures and at 0.5 PSI will likely not function or pass enough gas to do much. Then what ever you connect will also have a regulator, which will also not function properly with the low pressure and what ever you connect won't work. You need to bypass the regulator on your BBQ or what ever using the proper hose connection made for regulated pressure, to adapt it to connect to this connector would be vary dangerous because if anyone later connected to a regular tank at full pressure with no regulation massive gas would escape and possibly blow out hoses and lines not made for the pressure.

It has standard pipe fittings for natural gas, but you should be able to add the correct fittings to hook up to propane. Try Home depot for fittings.

I would like to use the larger size propane tank with this grill. Is it safet to do that and were could I buy a supply line to connect the two?

You'll need to get an ACME fitting for the hose to go directly to the propane tank. the side that goes to the RV regulator will work if the threads are the same.

I connected to a 60 gal propane tank. Check the connector before u buy !!They sold me 2 60 gal tanks with the wrong connectors & i had to buy separately! They do, however work fine.

You will need to go to a propane dealer and get an adapter. Any plumbing supply should help you also. I had to buy a couple of adapters.

We do not recommend that the unit be connected to your propane line on the motor home rather than a standard propane tank. The fittings required to do so are not offered by the manufacturer as well.

I don't recall the size of my tank, but it's a full sized tank for your standard gas grill. This hose hooked up in 30 seconds and I've been using for some time without any issues. My gut would say yes as long as it's standard adapter size.

Certainly. You can connect it to any consumer propane tank, as all are refilled at your local hardware store/fuel dealer from a universal coupling. Make sure all connections are clean (rust & debris free) & tight (not dented or dropped.) A bigger tank will allow you to cover larger areas between refueling. We've been using ours for a couple of seasons and cost savings are huge compared to chemicals. Also, nice to know we're not putting down cancer-causing agents where pets & people walk.

This hose and fittings were designed to plumb This hose and fitting is designed to connect your propane tank on your camper/RV to a grill rather than bringing a separate tank to use on your grill/or gas appliance. I would think if you have an external tank you would remove the empty tank and hook up the full tank.

No sir. The fitting is too small. You MUST purchase a 8.9 oz "PRIMUS" propane/isobutane butane gas container in order for this to work.

Yes it comes with the necessary hardware (including the regulator) to connect it to a standard propane tank like you would have for a grill.

Yes, but you must buy a separate connector. I bought a Stansport Propane Appliance to Bulk Tank Hose Connector (5-Feet)-$14.23 from Amazon. You don't want the hose too long since a serious problem you might have is the gas connections not staying secure letting propane gas leak out.

You do need to get the small regulators.With mine I use my regulators for the acetylene and oxygen tanks. The acetylene regulator will fit on propane tank.

Yes, it can be hooked up to a propane tank you just need an adapter which you should be able to find at Home Depot

I have done it. You just have to have the adapter hose. Any adapter propane hose will work.
