2 outlets from 1 propane tank

[Kayos]

I thought this would be easy, but I am having a tough time finding a way to run 2 burners from 1 propane tank. Iwhen I search for "propane manifold" I get 2 tanks to 1 line. Anyone give me a link?

I started a similar thread a while back, and I found a place that had what I needed online. Pics and link in thread:

I thought this would be really common, but I guess not. When you do a brew stand or sculpture, don't you just run 1 tank with a hose that has 3 outlets on it? I am looking for something like that.

If you want to use a single regulator, you need to build a manifold. Some good discussion about mine on this thread.

I also built a manifold for my 3-tier using flex lines. It looks something like this. The bottom hose on the left in the supply line from the regulator.

A camping store will have something similar to this:

Usually 3 outlets for 1 tank, we always used them in scouting and would put a lantern on top, and 2 stoves all from the same bottle...

adapters of all kinds.

I use a Y adapter that I picked up at Sportsmans Warehouse.

I must be off here...but don't all 3 ends need to be the same size? The end that connects to the tank should be the same as the other two, right? Or do you guys have huge tanks that have different connectors than mine?

No, all new OPD tanks will take the threaded male like the old ones. So the male goes to the tank the two females can either use the old male hose (since they have internal threads)or the newer female hose used with OPD tanks.

You are correct about the OPD, but the pictured Y adapter (I have the same one) is not for OPD. I use a 100 lb tank with different threads, there's a picture in the link in post #2. The pictured Y is for that style of tank, but I'm sure they make one for OPD as well.

Actually morebeer4me is right. Most OPD tanks(like the 20# ones at loews/home depot) will take both types of connectors. The tank valve has both the old style threads on the inside and the new threads on the outside. This makes it possible for old gezzers like me to use my old propane grill with the new tanks without having to replace the regulator (or the connector on the regulator).

It's only 10-30 PSI or so.., pipe fittings, hose barbs, two clamps on each termination.
