Which one do I need? I bought one from Northern with no regulator on it. I also bought a filter. This will mostly be used on a 5 lb tank but I may use a 20 lb on occasion. So I guess the question is do I need a hose with a regulator on it?
no regulator needed. none on mine anyways 
The non quick disconnect screws into where the 1lb tank go so no reg needed and if you get the quick disconnect hose it has a reg on it already. I tried the filter and it would not run good so mine is sitting on the shelf.
If it has a regulator it does not need a filter. If it does not have a a regulator it needs a filter.
Does anyone know if they make a fitting so the older big buddy heaters will accept the quick connect hoses??
my experience with these units is that any time you are using a refillable propane bottle you should use a filter as any particles will clog the minute orifices. if using new “throw away” bottles no filter is needed…unless you are a person who refills those small bottles. good luck.
