A different kind of propane manifold

I just got a 100lbs propane tank that I'd like to run my 3 kettle system off of. I'm going for flexibility with this system, so I'm making 3 stands, one for each kettle, so a standard black pipe manifold that most all grain systems use isn't really what I'm looking to make.

In essence, I'd like something like this...*http://imgur.com/bx8UMME*but will hang down rather than up. These only have the small propane hookups for camping stoves and the like and I would need regular fittings for burners with hoses.

So, is there a way for me to buy a fitting to go from the 100lbs tank to black pipe, have the pipe drop a few feet down and then split into 3 fittings for my burner hoses with regulators? Each of the three fittings on the black pipe would need valves as well obviously. I don't think I'd ever need to run all three burners at once, probably just two at a time.

Any thoughts?

Is that a lantern?


You can use pipe fittings and teflon tape to make any shape you want with as many valves as you want.




maybe something like this to connect to propane tank to npt thread.

It is a lantern.

I guess my real issue/question was I couldn't find the right fittings. This is perfect fit the task end.

So, then would this be the best fit for the hose to manifold side?

Thanks for your help @grathan !

If you want hose, look at their COMRI-60 with the red ACME wrenchless tank adapter option.
