The Marshall Excelsior MEGR-230-25QDP is a single-stage low-pressure propane regulator designed for portable propane appliances and outdoor cooking equipment — camp stoves, portable grills, propane-powered lanterns, outdoor cookers, and similar applications that connect directly to a standard propane tank. The QCC (Quick-Closing Coupling, Type 1) black inlet threads directly onto standard OPD-equipped propane tank valves (both 1-lb and 20-lb cylinders), and the female quick-disconnect outlet connects to a compatible quick-disconnect fitting on the appliance hose.
The MEGR-230 series is Marshall Excelsior's Excela-Flo regulator line — a well-established single-stage design with a die-cast aluminum bonnet and body, a molded diaphragm with O-ring body/bonnet seal, and a drip-lip vent to prevent water ingress. UL listed under UL 144. The -25QDP suffix designates the specific connection combination: QCC (black) inlet and female quick-disconnect outlet. Outlet pressure is 11" WC, BTU capacity is 140,000 BTU/hr.

QCC (Quick-Closing Coupling, Type 1): The standard thread-on connection used for 20-lb and larger propane cylinders since the late 1990s — the hand-tighten nut that threads onto the OPD valve on your tank. The "black" color designates this as Type 1 (as opposed to Type 2 for higher-pressure applications). Quick-Disconnect (QDP outlet): A push-and-click connection on the appliance hose end — connect and disconnect without tools. Requires a matching male quick-disconnect fitting on the appliance hose; not compatible with standard NPT fittings without an adapter.
The MEGR-230-25QDP is approved for small portable applications and outdoor cooking appliances only. It is not RVIA-approved for permanent installation in recreational vehicles per RVIA requirements. For permanent RV propane system regulators, see the Suburban LP-R524V or LP-R524H two-stage regulators, which are specifically approved for RV use.
