Marshall brass makes two types of tee fitting specifically for the purpose.
It attaches directly to the tank valve and has the POL fitting on the other
for the regulator to attach to. One fitting is for using accessories. The
tee fitting is the same as the top of a propane cylinder. The other style
has that bottle fitting plus a connection to use an additional bottle to
feed the system. These are available through most RV supply stores such as
Camping World. Bot my Syncro Camper and my Motorhome have this fitting.
Works great for the barbecue.
