Sounds like you got it all. When the plumber/HVAC guys installed the gas
line to my new Mr Heater Big Maxx three weeks ago (it works great, btw, and
very quiet), they said they tested the gas line at 15 psi for about 20
minutes; if it didn't leak down appreciably it was good to go.
Then the propane company guys came out the next day while I was at work and
delivered the 120 gallon tank and hooked it to the gas line. The regulator
was connected to the black pipe and the tank connected to the regulator by
1/4 or 3/8" soft copper line. The cut the copper line too short and the
tank "lid" (valve cover, actually) wouldn't close all the way and was
resting on the copper line. Lazy bastards. I made them come out and
change it yesterday.
