Introduction

Hey guys, it's Andy Grenergy here. I've been receiving a lot of questions on how to have a hose extension for your tri-fuel conversion kit. In this article, I'm going to discuss the different types of hose extension kits we offer and how they can be used for various setups. Whether you're looking to mount your tank remotely or connect multiple generators, we have the right hose extension kit for you.

1. Standard Hose Length

Our standard hose length is designed to meet the needs of most users. It comes with a three-foot hose that is included with the kit. This length is typically sufficient for connecting your generator to the demand regulator without the need for any extensions. It's a simple and hassle-free setup that works for the majority of our customers.

2. 10 Foot Hose Extension Kit

For those who want to mount their tank remotely, we offer a 10-foot hose extension kit. This kit includes everything you need to extend the reach of your hose. It comes with a mounting bracket, quick connect fittings, and all the necessary connectors to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. With the 10-foot hose extension, you can place your tank in a more convenient location while still providing enough fuel to your generator.

3. Extended Hose Kit for Propane

If you're using propane as your fuel source, we also offer an extended hose kit specifically designed for propane setups. This kit includes all the components needed to connect your generator to a propane tank. It comes with the necessary fittings, mounting brackets, and a pressure regulator. With this kit, you can safely and effectively use propane to power your generator.

4. Extended Hose Kit for Natural Gas

If you have a natural gas outlet in your home or RV, we offer an extended hose kit for natural gas setups. This kit is similar to the propane kit but does not include a pressure regulator. Instead, it features a male nipple that plugs directly into your natural gas outlet. This kit allows you to easily connect your generator to your natural gas supply and enjoy the convenience of using natural gas as a fuel source.

5. Extended Hose Kit for RV Hookup

For RV owners, we have an extended hose kit designed specifically for RV hookups. This kit includes a barbecue port adapter that allows you to connect your generator to the propane outlet on your RV. It eliminates the need for a pressure regulator as the RV already has one built-in. With this kit, you can conveniently power your generator using the propane supply from your RV.

6. Parallel Connect Hose Kit

If you have multiple generators and want to connect them in parallel, we offer a parallel connect hose kit. This kit allows you to combine the power output of two generators for increased performance. It includes a T-splitter, two brackets to hold the demand regulator upright, two male nipples, quick connects, and a gas shut-off valve. With this kit, you can easily connect two generators and share a single fuel source.

7. Using One Generator with the Parallel Connect Kit

A common question we receive is whether it's possible to use just one generator with the parallel connect kit. The answer is yes, you can use one generator if you choose to. Simply remove one side of the hose and cap it off to prevent any dust or debris from entering. You can then run your generator using a single propane tank. Alternatively, you can mount the bracket onto one generator and leave the other side disconnected. This gives you the flexibility to use one or two generators according to your needs.

8. Tank Size Recommendations

When purchasing a hose extension kit, it's essential to consider the size of your propane tank. We recommend using a 30-pound tank or larger to ensure an adequate volume of fuel flow. Smaller tanks, such as 20-pound tanks, may not keep up with the fuel demand of larger generators. It's important to have enough space inside the tank for the liquid propane to evaporate and turn into gas. Using a larger tank will help maintain a consistent fuel supply and prevent any interruptions during operation.

9. Custom Hose Lengths and Non-Standard Sizes

If you require a longer hose length or a non-standard size, we can accommodate your needs. Please contact us, and we will be happy to create a custom setup for you. Keep in mind that hoses longer than 10 feet may require a larger inside diameter to ensure optimal fuel flow. While quarter-inch and 3/8-inch hoses are considered standard sizes and readily available, longer hoses with a half-inch inside diameter are considered non-standard and may incur higher costs.

10. Conclusion

In conclusion, having a hose extension kit for your tri-fuel conversion kit offers flexibility and convenience in utilizing different fuel sources and setups. At Grenergy, we provide a range of hose extension kits to meet your specific requirements. Whether you need a standard hose length, an extended hose for propane, natural gas, or RV hookup, or a parallel connect kit for combining multiple generators, we have you covered.
