Propane: high and low pressure devices off one tank

[Mccaf]

trying to fuel a Coleman stove, lantern, and a low pressure Ecotemp L5 off the same 5lb bottle. The rv store sold me a 2stage regulator, which I mounted on the 5lb bottle, and plumbed into the the Coleman devices and the Ecotemp via hoses and TEE's. The Ecotemp fires up but stove and lantern will not.

So I just learned that the Coleman's use high pressure (via the 1lb bottles). From the 5 lb bottle I use now, how would I get low regulated pressure for the water heater, and bottle pressure for the Coleman devices?

Help!

Splitter. One to high pressure regulator, one to low.

Ah, duh, why didn't I think of that? So I just need the bulk hose adapter for the unregulated side. Thanks!

A tee like this is all you need - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LPY9R8U

Getting one with internal check valves make your life easier.

Gracias, the piercing valves, check, the Coleman appliances need high pressure. I got ten days to finish my trailer.
AlReady have about ten feet of propane hoses plumbed and hung up on the walls... I didn't want to drop big bucks on a Partner stove just to fix the connection issue. Go figure Coleman made their products proprietary. Smart move - till they joined the club and sold out to Chinese
Sourcing...
Thanks guys for the help. Tail end Charlie looks familiar with that dslr shoved in the mirror, are you the same tail end in SDJC?

When I just plumbed the post regulator (low) pressure to my older Coleman stove (with valves on the front), after eliminating the small/green tank screw on adapter, it worked fine (the small screw on tank adapter/valves reduce the pressure themselves so if you retain the screw on tank adapter you need high pressure but if you eliminate the screw on adapter (difficult on some propane devices) you need low pressure.
Except for the stove (and a propane fire pit for use during some fire bans) I mostly don't even bring propane anymore; since switching to LED lighting...

Enjoy!

No idea what SDJC is. Handle is "dwh" (my initials). Beneath that is a description. The defaults for descriptions are like adventurer, explorer, space cadet and whatnot - based on post count I think. But you can edit your own so I did.

The Sony camera is the one my buddy Glen Heggstad carried around the world. When he got back he bought a new one and gave me the old one. It finally quit working. I think it's in a box in my aunt's attic.

And yea the pic was shot in a mirror then cropped to get the composition right and flipped left to right.
