DirtyPatches Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 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.
