Thanks josh and Doug for you thoughts. The issue I'm running into, it is extremely hard to find 3/8" id hose in the proper length. I'm in the process of building the propane locker, my plan is to have vapor tight fittings for the hose and wiring for the solenoid, the hoses will be complete from the tank to the appliance.
I can basically get any length I want in 1/4" id with 3/8" Female Flare fittings, I'm just not sure there will be enough volume for the appliance. I ordered a hose for the stove, I thought it was 3/8" id but turned out to be 1/4" id with 3/8" Female Flare fittings on each end. I guess if the hose does not supply enough volume I can order "custom made" hoses (very pricey) and swap them out. Any holes drilled will be the same diameter due to the size of the fittings, just a bit of a PITA, Tom Power<http://aka.ms/weboutlook> Invictus C&C 30 MK1 Fredericton, NB ________________________________ From: CnC-List <cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com> on behalf of svrebeccaleah via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 9, 2019 4:06 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: svrebeccaleah Subject: Re: Stus-List Propane hose Hi Tom, This from West Marine. Supply Hoses<https://www.westmarine.com/lpg-hose-fittings> To carry the gas from the regulator to the stove or heater, use LPG supply hose of the correct length. Note that while these hoses are only carrying 0.5 psi, they have a 350 psi working pressure rating, so they are dramatically stronger than they have to be. Each supply hose should run continuously from inside the propane tank enclosure to the appliance: this is not a case where you can chain a bunch of fittings together because you ended up a little short on hose. Use a Vapor-Tight Straight-Thru fitting where the hose exits your propane locker. Supply hoses connect to the propane appliance using a 3/8" female flare swivel and connect to the solenoid with a 3/8" male NPT adapter.

I'm installing a Dickinson Mediterranean stove with oven and a Dickinson P9000 propane heater. The hose needed for the stove is 12 feet, the hose needed for the heater is 21 feet. My question is will I have enough flow (volume) if I use 1/4 id hose verses 3/8 id hose. The regulator I plan to use is a two stage Trident P/N 1220-1411. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Tom Power<http://aka.ms/weboutlook> Invictus C&C 30 MK1 Fredericton, NB
