A device designed for the distribution of liquefied petroleum gas to multiple appliances or systems from a single source. It typically incorporates four output ports, allowing for simultaneous connection to devices such as grills, heaters, or stoves. This configuration provides a centralized point for managing gas flow and pressure. An example would be connecting a single propane tank to fuel a barbecue, patio heater, outdoor kitchen burner, and a mosquito fogger concurrently.
This type of distribution system offers advantages in terms of convenience and space efficiency. Rather than requiring individual propane tanks for each appliance, a single tank can supply multiple devices, reducing clutter and the need for frequent tank replacements. The development of such systems facilitates the efficient use of propane in both residential and commercial settings, contributing to streamlined operation and cost savings. The ability to regulate and control gas flow to multiple points from a central source improves safety and usability.
