I have a tri-fuel generator that came with a flex hose and regulator having a QCC-1 connection. I also have a capped 3/4" black iron tee with a valve (downstream of the low pressure regulator) on my barndominium served from a 500-gal underground tank (with the high pressure regulator under the access cover.) How do I make up an adapter, or series of adapters, to go from the 3/4" NPT male to a QCC-1 male?

With a QCC fitting of course

Standard black iron or brass pipe fittings from there such as a bell reducer

This is going to be installed outside with a gas valve to shut off right?

Also, do you think your regulator is going to work correctly when it’s supposed to have high pressure propane 50-150 lbs in and .75 psi (11” WC) out but you put it down stream of the low pressure regulator and feed it 11” WC????

My propane system runs at 2PSI and there is a Maxitrol at each appliance.You will need to cut a tee in before the 2nd stage regulator and feed the generator from that point.What size generator is it and how many btu's does it draw according to the IOM?:needpics:
