I believe Ed and Kevin are using the "Century Camping" model 2118 with slight mods sold by Wal-Mart and others. ($18.00)(www.centurycamping.com/accessories/propane/)

It is modified as follows:

a. Remove the supplied Brass nozzle.

b. Remove the 1/4" long Galvanized pipe.

c. Drill and tap the supplied Brass nozzle for an 8-32 DuBro (or equal) Muffler pressure fitting.

d. Purchase a brass 1/4 pipe thread "Close Nipple".

e. re-assmble as follows: (use Teflon thread tape)

1. Thread the 1/4" MNPT Close nipple into the valve body.

2. Thread the 8-32 pressure fitting into the supplied Brass nozzle. (Use the supplied washer)

3. Thread the nozzle onto the close nipple.

**NOTE**
You could substitute a 1/4 MNPT x 1/8" barbed adapter fitting in place of modifing the supplied Brass nozzle.

Your done.
