1/4" male inverted flare fitting

So I bought one of these to add to my propane tank to allow me to use external propane as well as to use my grill off the RV tank: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

However, the fitting that allows you to use an external tank is a 1/4" female inverted flare fitting. Try as I may, I cannot seem to find a 1/4" male inverted flare fitting to put on the end of my hose to fit the Camcorder product above. Any idea where I can find such a beast? All my searching yields the same fitting that is on the tank now, the female portion. But there HAS to be a male fitting I can put on a hose to match up with it?

Here is a hose that has the needed fitting, but I have a hose already, just want the male fitting: https://www.amazon.com/Camco-59033-P...inverted+flare

Boy, this is a new one....

If you want to run you grill from this adapter, you would connect the hose to the "throw-away cylinder connection...because it has a internal valve (no leak when hose is not connected).

The 1/4" connection is a regular open connection, so it is always connected or always plugged.

I am confused by the picture because the two "main" connections don't look like they are male & female of the same type. This adapter alos converts bewteen the POL (old style) and the quick change (new style). with this really fit on your RV?

This is almost what you want:
inverted flair pigtail
Maybe a propane expert can set us straight...

I understand the female throwaway to male throwaway for the grill. What I am looking for is the 1/4" male inverted thread fitting to hook a second tank up to the MH. I understand there are kits and hoses, but I already have everything I need to go vroom, minus that one pesky little fitting.
