I have secured all the fittings and checked for leaks, but the gas flow seems to be restricted. This line has a 3-way split to a kitchen stove, hot water heater, and clothes dryer. The pilots all stay lit, but when fired up, the flame is blue and yellow and sputters and will only burn at a low level.

You have to purge the gas line after changing tanks. Keep running the equipment and it should straighten out. Also, make sure the valve on your tank is fully open.

Then something else is wrong here. If you turn the gas on initially that should pressurize your lines, nothing more. It sounds like a valve isn't on all the way. Check the tank valve, make sure this one is on, maybe the guy, when filling turned this one off and, didn't turn it back on.

those are all useful and that they are worried approximately your risk-free practices; even nonetheless the tank won't freeze, do no longer run the copper into the hearth container, use black 3/8 or one million/2". the copper will soften or distort in time with the impressive warmth yet black won't, plus you install below the flame particularly than above. use it as a hearth starter help or temper low-lite flame. the little tank isn't meant for great flame fireplaces and could empty in couple of minutes. no longer particularly-priced! as for the underground, do 18" after leaving the tank to the exterior of the FP, then up the wall to the uncovered one million/2 black pipe and connect w/ petcock. bear in mind in case you have a bush around the hearth someplace, you need no longer bury the line, place the tank there and a short-run to the petcock. additionally, place in a sprig btl a small amt of dish cleansing soap and equivalent amts of wtr. spray this on the strains joints for leaks and if it bubbles...fix it. you're no longer afraid to cook dinner on your BBQ and the flames on the incredible and the tank does no longer explode. so do no longer concern, that's complete all the time and additionally you have a layer of bricks and mortar between the tank and the flame. besides, use a carbide drill the dimensions of the pipe to drill into the brick wall then seal with a seal suggested on your section. do a small pilot hollow 1st like one million/4" then save on with with one million/2" to greater wholesome.

check your pressure regulating valve, it may be restricting flow, shut off all appliance pilots, then only light up one, how does the one appliance run? If not o.k. then suspect regulator.
