Propane Parts & Accessories

Propane powers many aspects of Life Out Here, from cooking outdoors to heating homes. Using, transferring and storing this versatile fuel, however, requires specialized equipment. Find everything you need to complete your setup properly at Tractor Supply.

Safely and Reliably Use Propane Tanks

Planning to fire up a gas grill for a weekend barbecue? Maybe you’re just after a convenient power source for your furnace or water heater. Whatever the application, we stock a variety of essential parts and accessories, in addition to tanks, to keep appliances and systems operating as expected, including:

Fittings

Crucial for adapting tanks to hoses and other components to utilities, fittings create secure and dependable contacts, helping prevent gas leaks. Prest-O-Lite (POL) fittings, for example, connect regulators to older storage containers, while quick-closing coupling (QCC) attaches to newer models. Acme fittings, in contrast, are used for larger units, whereas quick-disconnect (QD) fittings are compatible with tanks running propane grills and gas-powered fire pits.

Hoses

Designed to send fuel from a container to an appliance, hoses are available in various ratings. Running a welding torch or patio heater properly requires a high-pressure hose, whereas stoves, lanterns and other small propane-powered equipment call for lower-pressure camping hoses. Always confirm you’re using the proper hose for your setup.

Regulators

Essential parts for controlling propane as it flows from the tank, regulators are responsible for reducing gas pressure to safe levels. While some are adjustable to suit the requirements of various machinery, most are either automatic or single-stage, providing a set flow rate for a specific appliance, or first- or second-stage, designed to gradually reduce pressure as needed.

Other Accessories

Whether attaching a cylinder to a small space heater or a full-size generator, we also offer a range of accessories intended to help move propane efficiently and effectively. Our inventory includes:

• Overfill prevention devices (OPDs) to help prevent fueling containers to unsafe levels
• Gauges to keep you apprised of tank contents, letting you know when it’s time for a refill
• Valves to help stabilize and control flow
• Pigtail hoses for efficiently joining regulators
• Caps to cover and protect fittings and valves
• Dispenser systems for help filling cylinders

Frequently Asked Questions About Propane Parts and Accessories 

Which parts and accessories are required for my propane tank?

The parts and accessories your setup needs depend on what you’re powering and its connection requirements. To ensure your propane system is equipped correctly, consult your utility or appliance owner’s manual and your propane provider for recommendations.

What are propane fittings, hoses and regulators made of?

Brass and aluminum are popular choices for fittings, as they’re durable and rust-repellent. Hoses, however, are usually rubber, thermoplastic/PVC or braided stainless steel, as they need to be flexible and resistant enough to withstand using propane at different pressures and temperatures. Regulators are often a combination of die-cast zinc, plastic and metal, as these materials are less likely to spark.
