The Item in My Kit

I bought Flame King Hundred-Pound Multi-Valve Tank as part of my camper van equipment.

This cylinder is recorded in my propane equipment purchases. Cylinder size and valve arrangement are the important identifying details when comparing it with the adapters and hoses elsewhere in the catalog.

Cylinder Size and Valve Arrangement

  1. I used SketchUp to plan the interior and put body openings ahead of the framing, floor and wall panels.
  2. My Interior Preparation notes included the shower drain and openings for three water tanks in that preparation sequence.
  3. I removed cargo tie-down hardware for later framing mounts and door trim for the later insulation and paneling.

My Takeaway for the Build

My early interior plan helped me think about the space occupied by equipment before the surrounding surfaces were finished. This Flame King purchase is the hundred-pound multi-valve cylinder. The alternatives change either the valve arrangement or the cylinder size, so body dimensions and the connection layout are separate parts of the comparison.

Product Details And Van-Build Uses

SpecificationProduct Detail
Recorded Product100-lb multi-valve cylinder
ConstructionWelded steel
Valve ArrangementService, filler and relief functions

Flame King’s multi-valve cylinder groups service, filling and pressure-relief functions in one valve assembly. Its manufacturer reference distinguishes that arrangement from a simple POL-valve cylinder and from separately listed ASME tanks. The product catalog also identifies the multi-valve model family, making it useful for organizing propane-equipment records and matching the right valve reference to a purchase. For camper-van planning, cylinder dimensions and the surrounding equipment layout are separate questions from the capacity name. The original purchase remains recorded here without adding a new installation or operating result to my build story.

Is Every Flame King 100-Lb Tank The Same Model?

No. Flame King lists multi-valve, POL-valve and ASME versions separately. The multi-valve product reference applies to this recorded purchase.

Alternative products

Two Alternatives to Compare

The hundred-pound POL cylinder keeps a similar storage-capacity class with a different valve arrangement. The forty-pound OPD cylinder is a smaller-format alternative with different space and connection requirements.
