Where to get propane hoses and fittings?
dh
copper tube for attaching to the propane bottle. Instead of that
rigid tube I'd rather have a flexible rubber tube like I have on
a different one, but so far I've been unable to find one that
will go from a disposable bottle to the stove. The only ones I've
been able to find go from a larger 20-40 pound tank to the stove.
Does anyone know where I can get one that will connect to a
smaller bottle?
Thanks for any help!

Any RV Parts store might be able to build you a hose with custom
fittings, other then that. It's adapters

- Heating & Air Conditioning companies
- A few of the larger sporting goods stores
- Perhaps Loew's or Home Depot
- Propane distributors (the refill stations, not those supermarket kiosks)

Remember, propane is heavier than air. Do your work outside or with a
floor-level door open.

Both Wal Mart & K-Mart have the hoses. Look for Coleman or Ozark
Trails packaging; there may be others as well. They attach to a "tree"
on top of a bulk tank or directly to the 1-pound bottles. They attach
to a bulk tank via an adapter which mimics the "tree's" connection.

That's good to know. What about gasoline fumes?

Heavy. Guess why they mount hot water tanks in the garage
up in the air off the ground.

Also but has a higher vapor density so it mixes and doesn't hug the
ground quite so much. If you can smell any hydrocarbon indoors then
don't light a match.
Side note: When my dad first went into the heating and air conditioning
field in Illinois service personnel too on-call turns. Losing winter
heat was serious not only for health reasons but the pipes would freeze
and break too so night calls were common.
One night we were alone, I was maybe 7 years old, so Dad packed up at 2am
for the service call. He told me to stay in the truck. Not a problem,
it was -15 degrees outside!
As he entered the house with a burning cigarette in his mouth I watched
the front door close. . . . 15 second pause . . . then the windows and
doors blew out and roof rose a few feet before settling back onto the
walls.
Nobody was hurt, thankfully, but even at that age I thought it hilarious
to see Dad without eyebrows, moustache or hair on the front of his head.
And this was due to an oil heater, not a highly volatile hydrocarbon.

No shit, sherlock. What does that have to do with flammables?

Different threads due to the puncture point opening the tank _after_
sealing but there are adapters for disposables to standard brass and pipe
threads.

Delayed ignition is always fun with an oil burner. #1 heating oil may not be
volatile, but when you've been blowing it out of a nozzle to create a
chamber full of mist, it can be interesting if the arc fires off a little
late.

It's also a good thing to keep in mind when you're fueling your cigarette
boat...

I don't think it's legal either. It's not illegal to refill
disposable cylinders from a bulk tank, but the gotcha is that
regulations don't allow refilled canisters to be transported.
What it would probably take is a bulk propane to canister hose/adapter
(like the following) plus an adapter that allows bulk propane
appliances to be driven off a canister.
The following is an adapter that allows (low pressure) bulk propane
devices to run off of disposable canisters:
I think these should be able to work together. However - I'm
wondering what the rationale for doing this would be. For the most
part it's going to be safe since the canisters are vented by the very
nature that they are on. Once the gas is shut off, there's no danger
of heat causing the thing to pop off like I've heard with people
placing backup 20# tanks in portable grills. All I can think of is
maybe a small table where the canister takes extra space.

In your case, I cannot legally suggest to cut the rigid
copper tube, and extend it with fuel injected rated Neoprene
fuel line, and a couple of good quality hose clamps. While
that would work fine for many years, I cannot legally
suggest it to anyone.

expensive in the 20# tanks, and you're not pitching out a
tank every eight hours of runtime. One guy I knew had a
winter power cut, and used a couple dozen one pounders in a
couple days. Of course, he's a help rejecting complaining
idiot, but that's for another thread.
The "steak saver" looks like an urban idiot's answer to
having a second (full) tank of propane on hand. Be sure to
use Mapp gas for a faster finsh of dinner.

Looks like it would allow you to run your table top grill on
a one pounder which is distant from the grill.

Maybe in your neighborhood. I have never seen a tank more than 1
concrete block height off the floor.

Nonsense. Modern water heaters are resistant to flammable vapors. Have been
since 2003, unless you live in some third world country.
