Is it safe to use a T or Y splitter to run two devices from one regulator? I am looking to run a fridge on propane and planned to disconnect it when I needed to cook (having reconnected the stove - ie both devices with their own regulator). I'm suspecting re lighting the fridge might quickly become rather tedious.

Thanks in advance

Yes it's safe, just make sure all the connections are sealed using a bit of soapy water

I second the quick release connectors, less hassle if you only need to run 1 item then.
Also makes it easier if like us you have different regulators depending on which gas your using.

Thinking about this: so would it be

1. Hose from Regulator to splitter

2. Short hose for each "leg" to which is jubilee clipped one half of the coupling (obviously I need to the coupling device to close when disconnected so I guess I can't plug the "valve side" of it directly to the splitter, right?)

3. Hose from other half of the coupling to stove/fridge

Spot on,except that jubilee clips aren't recommended for gas pipes,although almost everyone uses them,including me! The quick release couplings are available from GO if you don't trust ebay!
