Title: LP GAS plumbing parts
Post by: Lon and Cheryl on September 21, 2020, 06:09:42 pm
My propane tank in my 95 U320 is now empty. I would like to replace all the fittings coming off the main propane tank.
Picking through the fittings at Menards or Home Depot is a depressing thought.
Is there a schematic available that shows what fittings the factory used?

I can't answer your question, but I will remind you that the yellow teflon tape is what you use with propane.  At least that is what I was told.

What is wrong with the old fittings. I wouldn't change them just for the sake of changing them. If you are talking about the shut off valve the fill valve the relief valve you need to forget menards and Home Depot and go to a propane dealer that does this type of work and they will have what you need.

Attached are pictures and parts lists of the tank and fittings in our 2000 U270. Most of the part numbers are no longer valid but the descriptions may help you.
