Hi folks, hope you're well!

I was with a friend looking at his camper the other day and he's had a problem with the gas. Long and short, there were two regulators... In fitting the second a replacement part couldn't be got, and now the best option looks like either blanking off where the second line joined, if a suitable blanking cap can be found... Or is there any possibility part a would fit to part b?.

Why not you would just have to remove the hose from A to see if it will fit onto B.
Are you saying you can't get a gas hose or a regulator?
What was connected to the other side of the Tee piece opposite A.?

Thanks for the reply!

B is currently blanked off, and because the other sides are fitted with the thin metal piping i wasn't sure if I could do a swap..

The other side of the t at A, was the same fitting and a separate regulator. Pic to follow... The connection broke on that side, and the replacement piece is a Hairs breadth difference in circumference and won't thread!

The two Tee fittings don't look the same, the original has 3 male ends, the other one has 2male and 1loose nut female is this a new fitting.?

Will the flex orange hose fit onto both of the male ends of the new fitting.
Will the loose nut from Tee A fit onto the outlet of TeeB..?

Where are you based ?

Looks like a real dodgy over complicated bit of gas plumbing.
Get a certified gas installer with motorhome gas systems experience to sort it out.
A proper regulator which will accommodate two high pressure pigtails (one for each bottle) is what's needed.

Over complicated indeed! Yep, I think I'll respectfully bow out 😁 the setup accommodates the 2 gas bottles with their own connections and then the knobs allow the underslung lpg to be used!
