Finally picked up tank for my SSP at Ace Hardware with their 25% off coupon. It looks like I still need an adapter to complete. In the SSP manual it lists a part as "filler adapter". Is this what I need to complete connection? I'm guessing it may be quick connect? Attaching photo of where I need adapter. Any help appreciated...

You can get one of these to adapt

Or just get new connector to screw into your regulator and take out that quick coupler nipple

Although I actually prefer all metal like the one below I've had the plastic handles break before just use some pipe dope on the 1/4" threads when you screw the new connector in

Yep, you need a quick connect kit.

Thanks MR.CPHo

I ran into some other things needing my attention and haven't completed the rehab on the SSP. When I do I'll add pictures and thank you again properly for sending me the charcoal bin I was missing.

Thanks so much for the info.  Saves me a lot of time trying to sort out what I needed. Never been much of a gassser but I'm learning...

You bet I would unscrew the quick conect nipple and install the $7 tank connector I posted the picture of it will save you an extra Conection and potential for a leak and it's a cheaper way to go
