Propane connection

Connecting a new regulator to the TT and having difficulty connecting the main propane line of the trailer to the regulator.

In the photo there is a nut below the yellow tape that is seen in the photo covering the threaded end of the propane line. Is this nut used to attach the yellow threaded part into the regulator?

Thanks.....

Use two wrenches. One on that “nut” on the feed line, and another on the regulator. You should be able to use a wrench on the square part of the regulator just above where your attaching the hose. Take it good and tight.

Once your done, hook it up to the cylinder, turn it on and spray the connection with soapy water. If it bubbles, you don’t have it tight enough.

The yellow is thread tape, the hose should unscrew from the regulator.

The yellow tape is gas thread tape. Not all thread tapes are the same. Make sure you get gas rated tape. When you put the new tape on, take all the old tape off first. Then wind the tape clockwise looking into the pipe. Leave the last 3-4 threads without tape otherwise there's a possibility of shards of tape getting up into the workings of the regulator.
