Stansport 2-Piece Propane Distribution Post

First off - I read tons of reviews on everything, and was worried that this product image did not match the description. But this price was amazing for a name brand, I paid $25 when others had this for $30-40 as well as different styles, but all in the 30 inch high range. IMAGE SHOULD SHOW the top pole that connects to the lower one (shown connected to the tank). The Top Pole is just a straight piece of the same tubing that makes up the lower, but is merely a female end to connect to the lower pole, and a male end at the top (for, say, a lantern). All of those smaller connections come with removable plastic caps, great for storage! Also, each connection CANNOT leak gas when no items connected. Imagine the image as a propane tank that is on, and those ends are sealed until connected to an item - just note, as read in the manual: do not turn the tank on until pole is fully assembled and all desired accessories attached. Also, turn off tank and turn on accessories to bleed out gas still in the pole/lines before detaching pole from tank! Common sense, but new users should take note of this. ALSO - NEW USERS: I've been around and used these things my whole life, but never owned one... Got a new camp stove, a coleman gas lantern, and new tank. The stove has it's own regulator, with that same large black female connector designed for a propane tank - NOT designed for those small accessory connectors on the pole!! As this pole takes up the only large male connection, you may need to buy an adapter depending on the size of the accessory connectors you wish to attach. I didn't, and had to postpone my vacation over a week for the adapter to arrive at WalMart once I realized I had to order another part.
