I used the adaptor this morning and it worked perfectly. The 1 lb. bottle emptied completely. I also ordered the ACME fitting. $34.95 +22.00 +6.00 for shipping. Sort of expensive but I didn't want to us the" extend-a_stay" and no new plumbing required. I always have 2-1 lb canisters onboard our Westy for our small propane grille we use outside the camper. I could use any residue left in the 1 lb for our grille. Now I am all set if I run out of propane I can easily remedy the problem. More peace of mine.
