We're in a fairly remote area of Arizona and haven't found a plumber who seems to have an efficient solution. Can anyone tell me how the quick disconnects work? When disconnected does it isolate the gas so that one could continue to use range, etc?
The quick disconnects are just that. They allow you to connect the hose connection to the propane line. When disconnected there is no gas coming out. The range, hot water heater and refrigerator continue to operate.

I don't know where you are when you say a remote area of Arizona, but we had our flexible connecting hose made by the propane dealer in Quartzite, AZ. He's located north of main street on the east side of the street -- just a few blocks from main. He'll make anything you want -- has all the quick disconnects, teflon tape, etc. that you need. When people tell you to use teflon tape on the threads when connecting, make sure that the tape is usable on propane connections. Plumber's teflon tape is NOT to be used.
