Good Morning,

Yes, with the new laws that came out a few years ago for propane tanks for safety reasons, they have made it a pain in the **** for people who have had there grills and set ups for years. I don't know what state you live in, but i was in the same boat as you. I had a grill about ten years old, and what i did, in my town there is places that sell just barbeques and have a huge propane tank outside to fill the portable ones. I am sure if you look in your area, you will find these type of outlets, i see them all over with clever names. They are little outlets that sell barbeques and supplies, camping propane items. Point is these place have those change over kits. because they had to comply with the new safety propane hook up regulator, they have the change over kits, that are easy and fast to change over. Now of course, you might be able to find same kits at places like home depot, or lowels, but i would try more of a place like i said, or even outdoor sporting good stores. Almost anywhere they sell abundant supply of camping or fishing or propane type of items. I hope this helps. MIke

HI.you canactually purchasde a hose and regulator to an exact fit other than buying an auxillary just to fit the larger hose.It would be more wiser and economical.

You'll need to replace the entire Hose/Regulator Assembly, to accept the valve of the new OPD Valve tanks. You can pick one up and any hardware store or home center that sells grills and accessories. They run about $30.00. Take your old one with you for comparison purposes.
