It doesn't need a regulator because the T is added before the one on
your tank. It has two hoses because it allows for different types of
hook ups. You can go to the marshal website for more information. I
can tell you I bought one about 2 years ago and still payed about
70.00 for it.

that's quite a price break.  I know it goes between the tank and
regulator.  Beyond that, what connector does it have on it?  Does it
have  a valve? and what are the 2 hoses for?

Thanks,
Edward
