Pressure at primary and secondary regulator from tank.

[Jags]

Howdy all, I was going to post this in the gear forum because this is in reference to a gas grill, but I thought all you gassers would be a better source of info. (so mods, please locate as appropriate if this is not the best spot)

Here it goes: I have a 500 gal. propane tank that is used for forced air home heating only. The pipe comes into/through my attached garage. There is a "T" and shutoff located within the garage (I had it plumbed in for future use of heater or whatever). The tank has a regulator on it. Pipe comes to outside wall of garage and this has another regulator that then gets feed into the home and to the furnace. If I wanted to pipe propane to my gas grill, should it be plumbed into the tank regulator side or the home regulator side?

Maybe a simple way to ask this is:
What pressure does a gas grill run at?
What pressure exits the propane tank (after reg.)
What pressure enters the home?

I have no problem with using the grill regulator in addition if need be.

Maybe a simple way to ask this is:
What pressure does a gas grill run at? <14" w.c. - generally about 11" w.c. (max)
What pressure exits the propane tank (after reg.) 10 psig (max)
What pressure enters the home? <14" w.c. again, generally about 11" w.c. (max)

I have no problem with using the grill regulator in addition if need be.

You'll probably need it...

So if I am reading this correctly: I should tap into the line that is at house pressure, then run it to the grill regulator? I hope so, that is by far the easiest connection for me.

Yep. Your pressure is already knocked down once. You won't even need the regulator at the grill...
