Lp regulator removal question

[HossHogRV]

Solera 2015 with two 2 stage LP regulators. Bottom one is leaking. It feeds the generator.

I have replacement (Camco 59323), but unsure how to remove. I took off outlet hose, no issue. Was thinking I could spin entire assembly to remove regulator from pipe fitting connecting to tee, but can't spin fully because regulator hits tank.

So can I disconnect the entire tee feeding both regulators by spinning counter clockwise the brass fitting between the tank shutoff valve and the tee? My gut is yes, but unsure.

Yes loosen at the ACME brass thread! Youroo!!

Thanks! Once I figured out to loosen clockwise, not counter clockwise assembly came off easy.

When I connected the Camco 59323 regulator's inlet side to the pipe thread from the tee, it felt like I needed another turn to fully tighten and still end up with the vent down. The regulator engages the tee before fully tight and vent not yet down. I had to back it up 1/2 turn to align vent. It passes a leak test with soap/water solution, but with moderate force I can turn assemble with hand.

Has anyone else observed the same? Anyone know how I can locate the original part?

bclemens you mentioned in the below post that newer systems use one regulator, can upgrade my 2015 24R with a single regulator? How would I get the necessary parts to convert?

Thanks

I don’t like things loose, especially when it comes to flammable gas. I would rather overtighten something, risking breaking it or stripping it, so it stayed in place. But that is just how I do things right or wrong. The thing about do-it-yourself projects, they can always be redone by yourself. I usually get things right by the third time when required.

Agree, loose is not good!!! I can tighten, but then vent is not down....

Yes Propane connections are reversed for a reason.

If you used Teflon gas tape on the threads, just put a couple of extra turns of tape to tighten the fitting to the position you desire.

For those that are unaware, the v-band machined into the wrench hex on the propane valve female fitting indicates that it is a left hand thread, so turn it to the "right" to loosen it.
