Being able to refill your own propane canisters can save you money and a trip to the store. Refilling 20lb tanks is fairly cheap and propane can be refilled at most hardware stores.This adapter allows you to fill your own 1lb tanks but with some warnings.First, check with your local laws. Most states and the DOT technically do not allow you to transport refilled 1lbs tanks like the disposable Coleman camping tanks. However, you can use the Flame King or Fuel Kegs and others. They are specifically made to be refilled.Second, this adapter is all brass so it cannot spark like steel causing a fire. The pressure gauge is a nice touch and is on the correct side of the valve. It shows the pressure of the refilled tank even with the valve off. I have seen units with the gauges on the source side. That seems worthless if there is a leak on the refilled bottle side.Third, refill outside only. There could be a leak or something so be aware of the situation.And finally, wear eye protection and gloves. Being sprayed with propane is not fun but does happen. It can cause frost bite on your skin but worse if you get splashed in the eye.There are plenty of videos on how to refill a tank step by step. This adapter is well made and will get the job done.Just be careful and know if you can transport your bottle.

I have the small portable heater that I usually reserve for power failure. So I have the 20 lb adapter and hose to use for those times.However, there are times when I want to take the heater and use it elsewhere only for a few hours. So you don't really want to carry that large tank around. It is kind of hard to justify the cost of the 1 lb tanks when I want to do that. What happens is that I don't use the heater that often. So I have considered one of these for a long time, and finally decided to get one.Yes, there is a little learning curve, but not much. It is mainly because you turn the large tank upside down to fill the small tank. So it is liquid that is being transferred. There will be a bit of gas between the cutoff valve and the 1 lb tank that may catch you off guard when you unscrew the small tank. I certainly suggest wearing gloves for this and being aware that it is going to happen. I also suggest turning the valve off a little early and letting the gauge settle before deciding it is full or not. At least until you get the hang of it. I set it up on a table that has a little fall to it. That way, my small tank is down-hill from the large tank. That (in my mind) helps get the liquid get inside the small tank before I unscrew it.The last thing I would also suggest is saving the 1 lb tanks and filling them all at once since it is a little difficult dealing with the larger tank. I have 5 of the small tanks for this now. But if you just plan on leaving everything set up and using it regularly as needed, then it would not matter.

This is my second one I got. First unit leaked very bad so asked to a replacement. Got the second one and still leaks propane when filling. Not worth it if all they do is leak when refilling smaller bottles. And little spark or what not and then boom you’re done. Not safe at all, hazardous and not worth the buy. Getting my money back for sure

Propane Refill Adapter for 1 lb. Tanks | This item allows me to fill my 1lb Coleman propane tanks from my 20lbs grill tank. That is useful. It is made of brass (for safety) and the fittings are solid and functional. That said, the gauge does not give a reading of PSI or Bar pressure. It just says "Gas" , "Low gas", and "Refill" related to the 1lb tank - for an already somewhat dangerous process, this is not the level of information I need or trust. Also, the transfer of gases depends entirely on differences in pressure, so, it would be helpful to know the pressure of the 20lbs tank for comparison, as the maximum pressure you can achieve is dependent on the provider tank.Overall, this is useful in a pinch, but I think I would prefer something safer, and with more info.

I have several grill size lpg tanks that I take to service stations, campgrounds or rental places to refill. I also have lpg lanterns that use the small tanks that sell in two packs for almost the same price of one regular tank refill. Refilling smaller tanks from big tanks is easy, saves money, and reduces one time use containers
