Propane distribution

[hey_poolboy]

Our M416 build has a space on the tongue to carry a 20# propane cylinder. Our cook station and fire pit are used on the rear driver side. I'd really like to have a flexible connection at the tank and hard-pipe to the rear of the trailer where I could mount a quick connect.
Has anyone done this?
Looking for ideas and / or sources for materials. A recessed fitting would be great to keep it from getting broken off.

I'd be willing to bet if you called or showed the trailer to a local plumbing business they could at least write your shopping list. Personally I would just run another flexible line to the back, I'm sure you can buy them plenty long enough. My deep fryer has one at least 6ft long, maybe more.

Look around for someone that works / builds food trucks.
They do that stuff all day.

I did it on both my trailers. Not difficult. I use quick release fittings and ball valves on both ends. You can use fittings rated for air but I like the brass propane ones better. Going through sheet metal you can get threaded bulkhead fittings, also in brass. For the lines, on my M-100 I used hard line for most of it and flexable on my tear drop.

As I mentioned, not difficult. If you have difficulty fining a specific part, just reach out to me.
