I got a propane take at walmart but it does not seem to have the right fitting to hook up to the heater, can anyone tell me if I need to get a certain type of bottle/fitting?

Hello,We use a 20 lb tank that fits most grills. All tanks now have a internal and external threads. Old style tanks had only internal threads. New ones have both. If you bought your tank recently at Walmart it should be the new style. Holly

it uses the same fitting that is used on BBQ grills. If the tank you bought does not fit then return the tank and get a proper one. don't use adapters. also , you realize that the threading on propane tanks is a left handed thread ? turn left (counter clockwise) to tighten and right to loosen. the opposite of what we are used too ?

It used the little green propane bottles sold in the camping department of most stores. I got an adapter line at walmart and hooked it up to my reqular grill propane tank.

Well if you are located in the US then your standard BBQ style propane tank is the most common. You can pick them up at most grocery stores/ convenience store. There is only 1 type of propane I know of, LP or Liquid Propane. That's what they fill the bottles with. Go pick one up and you will be fine.

Need a Tee from your onboard tank to accept the female tank fitting from the campfire. RV dealer should be able to facilitate that. I would use a longer hose also.

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.

I bought this camp chef and then set it in a back yard fire pit that I made from bricks. I ran the hose through a pvc and then to a little shed where I keep the propane tank. it worked out very nice. I went to a shop that recertifies the tanks and makes hoses. they made me a hose the length I needed. that's the way it would go just to be safe. let the pros do it. I would bet there is a similar shop near you somewhere. hope that helped.

That is why I sent it back! I wanted to connect from the Propane on my RV to my propane grill....but it did not have the correct connectors.......good luck.

We have a 1/2" black pipe going into, standard connection. The propane outfit installed it with the flexible yellow line. Its all vapor, so do not need a large supply. Just makes sure you put in a 250 gallon tank. Not that you need 250 gallon, but tank needs to be that big so it supplies a sufficient amount of vapor. If too small, it will start sucking fluid which will freeze the line. Let a propane company install it, trust me, well worth it.

The burner that I ordered works very well with high pressure propane (like in a gas bottle). "Plug-in gas" tubes in a house use lower pressure, so the orifice size will be wrong, and the regulator will also be wrong. My advice: don't do it.

We took the propane line off our old grill. A new hose and regulator can be be purchased at Home Depot to Lowe's. It did not come with one.

Not natural gas (without changing the regulator, anyway), but you can buy an adaptor hose that'll let you connect to a large propane bottle (20# or 30# bottle).

Ours hooks up to propane tank. If you are using propane just make sure you buy model that is "LP" that stands for liquid propane. The model you are asking about is LP.

Take the grill and match up the connecter because it should be a standard hose from the propane bottle to the stove. We got our hose at Sportsmans Warehouse but you can also find them at Wal-Mart and at propane dealers. It your grill takes the small green bottles you should have no problem fitting an adapter hose to the gallon one. They run about $20 to $25.

I would suggest checking your propane regulator for proper operation. Possibly test the LP gas pressure at the connection going to the water heater.

It does not come with the regulator or hose necessary for hookup. I already had the items from a previous propane unit I was replacing. If you are hooking up to a portable propane tank, the regulator on the tank may or may not be sufficient. If you are hooking up to a bulk tank, you probably already have a regulator installed where the propane line enters the house. Again, this may or may not be sufficient. The best thing to do is get in touch with a local propane supplier to find out what is necessary and LEGAL in your state. As a side note, the unit also does not contain the floor mount kit to leave it on the floor rather than mounting it to the wall. No big deal for me, but I believed it was included when I ordered it. Over all this is a wonderful unit and I am very happy with it.

Just pick up a newer model propane tank with the up-to-date (larger) male threads. The valve comes with the Weber.
