You didn�t say you used compression fittings on propane did you? Yes there
are some special compression or push lock type fitting listed for this
service but typical copper compression fittings are a no-no. The original
used flare for a reason.

I did this project last summer.� Since the replacement regulater is longer
than the original, it requires some modifications to the two supply lines to
the fridge and stove.� I knew that and was prepared.� I bought a pipe
bender, flaring tool, some compression fittings and pipe at the local
hardware store.��It's not easy.���I did not take the tank off.� Maybe that
would have made it easier.� After messing up on numerous attempts to� to get
the correct length and correct angle of bend on both pipes, I gave up
and�went to Plan B and bought a couple of 90�degree compression fittings to
make right angles.� I finally got that to work�after more trial and error.�
Course....I got no skills.���Good luck !� Rick D.����

We have the new replacement regulator, now need to get to work and install
it.� Anyone have advice on the best way to do it?� Looks like we'll have to
remove the tank to do it?
