290, 294, 299 -- should all be good. 294 has the "excess-flow" POL fitting already installed (means that if there *is* too much flow because the regulator has broken off in an accident, the fitting will internally shut down and stifle it. Required on RVs for obvious reasons). 290 and 294 need a plastic snap-on cover to protect the vent, 299 does not. Purpose of the vent is to provide atmospheric-pressure reference for the second-stage regulator. First-stage regulator has a pinhole in the cover for same purpose.
