Ace Hardware has em, http://www.acehardware.com/sm-mr-heater-propane-grill-quick-connect-kit--pi-1437922.html I used two on my tank so I can do quick disconnect on my entire stove, sink, fridge cabinet unit and have it out and stored in the g-rage in 2 min. (since I dont have any other cabinets) They also allow to remove the propane tank pretty easily for filling separately if I want to. You can super high quality 100 psi flex fuel hose at Ace as well and use barb fittings with zip ties. With only the low regulated 1 psi coming out of the regulator the pressure on the rubber hose and brass barb, it does'nt have any problem sealing, And it makes things much easier to deal with than trying to flare and bend copper lines.
