Propane tank “Y”

Is there any issue with putting a “Y” on the primary tank to be able to run auxiliary devices like a generator or grill?

I have a 2007 Safari 25 FB SE and it does not have a low pressure outlet. Thinking the “Y” is the easiest solution.

Thanks,
Greg

I've used one without issue for years. It's placed between the tank and the "pigtail" so anything you run off the feed will need a regulator but both my campfire in a can and my O-Grill are set up with regulators.

I see a few different models and types out there (all with complaints that they leak, if not initially, pretty soon after install). Which one do you use?

Thanks

I used the Gauge Master and it works well.

Our low pressure outlet is low near the belly in between the frame and battery box. Easy to miss. I thought all airstreams had one? When did they start adding them?
