You can rent the tank at any gas station and refill it when you need it. The stove come with all the hoses you need to connect to the tank.

If you are going to install the heater in your house that has the large propane tank already running a water heater and furnace, and you are going to connect it to the existing LP piping, you don't need another regulator. You will however, want to make sure the existing piping is large enough to "carry" the additional load. If you are going to run the new heater separately, than yes, this regulator will run it. FIY, I'm an LP service tech.

pretty much any tank will do. but to be safe, ask for the green Coleman camping propane tanks. I started with these, and since have upgraded to the larger standard tanks (cheaper)...in that case though, you'll need the adapter hose as well.

Not natural gas (without changing the regulator, anyway), but you can buy an adaptor hose that'll let you connect to a large propane bottle (20# or 30# bottle).

yes if you have the propane hose and same fitting as the smaller blue or green propane tanks the fat green one is difficult to attach because barely enough room to clear the regulater, but yes hose with proper fittings should be cool, I would have no problem with fit. ok

The smaller tank is designed for it, but I bought a small hose adapter and use my large propane tank that I've had forever.

The LP5500 unit is designed for use with a 20 lb. or 30 lb. tank, but can be utilized with a larger tank. To ensure the unit will properly attach to your larger LP tank, we recommend contacting a local plumber, or the propane company that supplied the tank. Generac does not offer a kit or parts to attach to any other tank, but your local plumber should be able to ensure your connections are proper and meet your local code. The regulator inlet pressure from an LP tank should be between 30 and 100 psi. Please note that any damage to the unit due to utilizing a larger tank will not be covered under warranty.

No, I did not need a regulator or filter. The only reason I purchased this hose was because I was using a separate 20 lb. tank. If you use the little camping sized propane tanks, you don't need the hose.

I believe you'll need to get "disposable tank regulators" as opposed to the large dual guage regulators you would use for a full size. eitherway, it has to have a regulator, or gas will release at tank pressure. talk about a bad day.

Yes. Purchase the extension hose and you can hook it up to the large propane tanks. Those tanks are more economical and last much longer than the small ones

Only thing you need is the propane tank, I haven't had to use mine but did take it out and look at it, it looks pretty simple to hook up and use, my only concern would be using for a long period in a small space.

You will need an adapter such as the CAMCO 59923 propane Acme nut to attach this to a standard propane tank. The male end of the hose should attach directly into your regulator

I googled to find the BTU's needed for my size of pool. I also contacted my utility company and they informed me the size of pipe and that I needed a bigger regulator for my house. This was very important to have enough gas for my house and heater to operate properly

You can use any size propane tank. I used a #20 tank for camping because it is a good size easy handling. I had additional hoses attached for use of my camp stove and lantern with no problem.

yup, you have to get a hose, regulator and tank. Works much better with gas, tried it with flux core wire and was very hot and messy. Hobart makes a fixed flow regulator that I have and it seems to work well, just cant tell whats left in the tank.
