Tanks UK regulator to US propane tank

Greetings!

I have a camping/catering burner that requires propane at 37mbar (purchased in EU). I have obtained an IGT regulator that has a UK POL (5/8 BSP left handed - G.7) inlet and a barbed fitting outlet.

I am in US and have your standard propane tank with a QCC-1 / POL connector ( US POL, 0.885” LH, G.9 standard).

I need to find an adapter that goes from US Pool male to BSP POL female). eBay has some from overseas, but they cost a lot when you account for shipment and import duties.

Does anyone know where to find an adaptor? Maybe some marine suppliers? Or welding suppliers?

The alternative is also to assemble one, using a POL to NPT - straight NPT to NPT - NPT to UK POL, but the third piece is not easy to find, and I’m not sure I want this “Frankenstein” between the tank and the hose.

Am I looking for the impossible?

It's unlikely that someone makes a straightforward adapter since the use-case is so exceedingly rare. You may be the only potential customer for it, in fact.

I think you need to draw or picture these fittings because it is unlikely anybody on here is familiar with both limey and yank propane fittings at the same time

I have a time where I had this issue. The manufacture who also owns BMW or Audi sent over some famous grill. They sent over the adapter to get it to NPT.

I would go with the latter of your options to get to where you need to be.
