    Mr Heater Buddy Connection To Aux Propane Port?

    Attached are photos of the Mr Heater fuel filter, that attaches to the 1lb inlet. It seems that Mr Heater replicates their proprietary check valves in the “Coleman” connectors.

    Mr Heater Buddy Connection To Aux Propane Port?

    A thought, The Mr Heater QD does not use a schrader valve, it uses spring loaded teats on the output and input fittings. The spring seems to be fairly strong and the two teats must line up just right. They also must be fully inserted to let gas flow. If one spring was firmer than the other I...

    Going for a stretch, does your short CI QD hose have the Schrader valve in the outlet? (Does it have the small pin like a bicycle tube)

    Mr Heater Buddy Connection To Aux Propane Port?

    I decided to make as close to a duplicate rig as you and give it a shot. I used the long CI QD to the trailer, the Mr. Heater QD(to the Big Buddy, but put a 1lb bottle connector next to the regulator. I attached the CI qd to the trailer, bled the whole assembly at the Mr. Heater QD, then...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    “Some days I worry I'm turning into Mr Wilson from Dennis the Menace...the cartoon version.”After retiring I began attending daily mass(equals a period of “mindfulness”). My personal prayer is that I not become a grumpy old man married to an old scold.

    Have you considered that the Canadian propane standards, which are different from the US standards, are complicating things?

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Under the new blood pressure “rules” 80% of older adults should be on blood pressure meds. Statins for cholesterol work to lower cholesterol yet cholesterol is needed for brain function. Doctor’s advice is just that, advice. Always ask: What will this do to improve MY life and what will it cure...

    Camper Storage

    I have two driveway markers that I place at the entrance to the garage. They are wide enough so I can see them with the side mirrors. They provide an aiming point.

    Mr Heater Buddy Connection To Aux Propane Port?

    Stay warm! I somehow must have ended up with a defective CI regulator or defective Mr. Heaters, regardless I feel fortunate to only need the Ci pigtail and a Coleman extension hose.

    Update We Did It!

    Lithium batteries tend to provide power at their rating until they are well down in their discharge range. This is important if you are running the Dometic because it has a low voltage shut off.

    Mr Heater Buddy Connection To Aux Propane Port?

    The regulator is on the CI tank. I connect only hose to the appliance (zoom on the pictures in my prior posts. I typically use the fuel filter. I have had no problems using appliances with a regulator such as a grill or propane fireplace (both are high flow, the heaters burn a little fuel).

Adapter pigtail and an 8’ extension, connected to CI port, turned on tank, purged line, connected to appliance, held appliance knob down for 15 seconds, clicked to pilot, held knob down till pilot was self sustaining, turned on heater...

    Mr Heater Buddy Connection To Aux Propane Port?

    From a Christmas Story: “You’re going to shoot your eye out”. I bleed the hose by depressing the hose valve pin until gas comes out. Guess what could happen if there is a nearby ignition source and proceed accordingly. The safe method is to hold the appliance primer down for 5 to 10 minutes.

    Mr Heater Buddy Connection To Aux Propane Port?

    I connect the desired extension to the QD adapter, plug the QD adapter into the trailer, bleed the hose, connect it to the appliance. I also make sure to hold the appliance primer down for about one minute so the pilot light ignites (and hold it down longer if needed, Buddy Heaters are touchy...
