Stus-List Propane connector

The thought process behind not using Teflon tape on natural gas or propane was that if a piece of tape was cut off by pipe threads it would end up in a gas orifice downstream and block a burner or alter a pressure regulator. Now to qualify that statement, it’s from trade school 100 years ago and

Hey Joel, My boat's tank is similar to David's. The regulator has flex hose on the outlet, but the piping to the tank is solid. No leaks. I check using soap. The fitting that attaches to the tank has an O-ring and that needs no teflon tape or pipe dope. I use Megaloc Tape and Megaloc pipe

Re: Stus-List Propane hose

Bob — actually, using two separate hoses is a requirement; it’s not safe to have any “taps” or tees outside of the propane locker, so all hoses must split after the solenoid in the locker and be continuous runs to the end point. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 3
