Propane Quick Disconnect?

Apoxbrew · Nov 2, 2011

I'm starting a 3 tier sculpture build. It'll be horizontal in nature (i.e. not the tree style 3 tier), but I plan on making the 3rd tier removable to save on storage space.

That said, since the 3rd tier will have a burner for the HLT, I'm curious if there's a propane quick-disconnect that can handle the psi of the banjo burner?

Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

are you planning to run everything from a single propane tank and just need a disconnect for the line?

yes. most will be hardline. softline to propane tank obviously and then soft line to 3rd tier with quick connect.

The quick disconnect used for natural gas on barbecues will also work for propane.

I'm a propane service tech, I've seen disconnects at trade shows but I'm not sure where you can get one retail. I guess google is ur friend

I had a QD on a ducane gas grill I used to have. I'd assume that anywhere that sells ducane would have something like that. Actually, I think ducane was bought by weber, so just try a grill store?

You can use normal air compressor quick disconnects. The seals in them are almost always buna-n, which is compatible with propane.

Any reason a standard airline disconnect won't work for propane if it's after the regulator? 30psi is 30psi right? I regularly use mine above 100psi on my air compressor without problem. Just a thought, I don't know if it would be appropriate due to it being propane though?
