Propane tank brass fitting


Recommended Posts

Hey all, couldn't find anything in the forum. Hoping someone knows how I would go about replacing the brass fitting for the propane tank.

The past 30 years of use have worn it down to the point of (yes I know not good, but it's at last resort stage) using vise grips. The nut is getting worn to nothing and is a ticking clock to trouble at this point.

You should be able to find them locally if not there are plenty of suppliers online Try a propane dealer they probably will have something for you it's the same as a 100# cylinder fitting. I'm not sure what the fitting is for but the flats on the bull nose are for a wrench so you can get it apart. Hint those threads are standard just the nut is left hand.
