I don't understand ... of course you have to bend the lines because
you're inserting the Extend-a-Stay between the tank's valve and the
regulator.  The regulator must go forward by the amount of space the
Extend-a-Stay "T" takes up.  The lines forward of (output side of the
regulator) have to be bent so they'll accommodate the regulator's new
position.

Even if left open the check valve should stop what ever is in the tank from coming back out. When you unhook the 1 lb bottle, some propane will escape until the bottle is clear.
