I have had a natural gas dryer converted to propane. I am having a connection problem from the dryer to a 100# propane tank. Is there an adapter for this situation?

The dryer fitting is usually a flare fitting to an iron pipe at the gas valve. The fitting at the gas tank is usually the same, 1/2 IP tp 3/8 or 1/2 flare. DO NOT use a compression fitting on a gas line it is not code permitted. What seems to be the issue. I have hooked up a lot of these without a problem.

I have searched to find a way to connect from the flair fitting on the dryer to a propane bottle valve and have not been successful. Since you have connected many, what do you use to connect them because they are different fittings.

Are you trying to go directly from the tank to tubing? Doesn't work that way. Starting at the tank you have a pressure reducing valve. Depending on the size of the valve, it could be 3/8 or 1/2 Iron pipe (IP) outlet size. So, you need a 3/8 or 1/2 IP to typically a 3/8 flare fitting. If the tank is within 10 ft or so of the dryer, connect 3/8 copper tubing into the dryer room. If the tank is 20 ft or more away, you may need 2 reducing valves, a high and low pressure valve. Now you have a piece of 3/8 tubing. At the dryer gas valve is another fitting, again either 3/8 or 1/2 IP. You will use the same fitting you used at the tank, IP to flare. Use gas rated teflon tape-yellow- or pipe dope on all threaded fittings. . Before connecting the final fitting purge the line with propane. The POL fitting between the tank and the reducing valve input is obtained from the propane distributor or a good country hardware store with propane services.

Thank you. That answered my question. I appreciate your help.
