Good idea. I used a piece of 1 by 4 cut so it is a slight press fit between the Tee and the metal the regulator cover was mounted on. I cleaned the surfaces real well and put some silicon adhesive on the surfaces it contacts. It keeps the regulator from bouncing and putting stress on the Tee and connection to the tank.
The Extend a Stay has been in place for 6 years and 48,000 miles with no problems.
I do use a commercial leak detector fluid to check the connections fairly often.
