Valves & fittings included

Fill valve
Double-check filler valve - the connection the delivery truck fills through. 250 gallons and up take the 1-3/4 inch ACME bulk-fill connection.
Service / vapor withdrawal valve
The vapor outlet your installer connects the first-stage regulator to.
Pressure relief valve
Required safety device. Vents to atmosphere if tank pressure rises above the set point, then reseats.
Float gauge
Dial gauge reading tank level as a percentage of capacity.
Liquid withdrawal valve
Draws liquid propane rather than vapor, for transfer and high-demand liquid service.
Vapor return valve
Returns vapor to the delivery vehicle during filling and relieves pressure back to another vessel.

Valves are factory-fitted to the vessel. The regulator, gas line and the propane itself are not included - a licensed installer connects the tank and a licensed supplier makes the first fill.

    What a 250 gallon above ground propane tank will run

    250 gallons - about 200 usable at the 80% fill line - is the step up from cylinders to a proper stationary supply. It is the right size for a smaller home on propane heat, or for a larger home running hot water, a kitchen range, a pool heater or a standby generator without putting those on a tank that needs refilling every few weeks. It is also the smallest horizontal tank most suppliers will deliver into, which matters when you want bulk pricing rather than exchange pricing.

    Above ground: simpler, and cheaper to install

    An above ground installation needs a level pad and clear access, not an excavator. That keeps the installed cost well below the buried equivalent, keeps the valves and gauge where you can read them, and makes service straightforward. Setbacks from buildings, property lines and ignition sources follow NFPA 58 and your local code - your installer will site it accordingly. If you would rather the tank were not visible, the 250 gallon underground version is the same capacity buried.
