Keep your propane supply connected reliably with the Camco 59065 pigtail connector. This 15-inch hose bridges your new-style 20 lb or 30 lb refillable propane cylinder to your RV or trailer propane regulator, or to an installed 4-port brass tee as an auxiliary supply line. Built-in excess flow and thermal protection add a critical layer of safety that many bare hoses skip.
Camco's pigtail connectors are a go-to item for RV owners running dual-tank setups, adding an auxiliary supply, or simply replacing a cracked or aging hose. The 59065 uses a POL-to-ACME transition design: the tank end is a standard ACME nut (the large, left-hand threaded fitting on all post-1998 OPD-equipped cylinders), and the regulator end is a 1/4-inch male inverted flare -- the most common inlet on RV two-stage regulators and 4-port brass tees.
At 15 inches, this hose gives you enough reach to position a vertical or horizontal cylinder without strain on the fittings, while staying compact enough for underslung RV propane compartments.
Handles the full propane demand of most RV appliance loads including furnace, range, and water heater running simultaneously.
Internal valve shuts flow if the downstream line breaks or is severed, limiting propane release in a rupture scenario.
Automatic shutoff activates in a fire condition, reducing the risk of an uncontrolled fuel feed to an open flame.
Certified to Canadian Standards Association requirements -- accepted by inspectors and required by many campground compliance checks.
The ACME nut on the tank end threads onto any standard OPD (Overfill Protection Device) valve found on new-style 20 lb and 30 lb refillable cylinders sold in the U.S. since 1998. It will not thread onto older POL-style (left-hand threaded brass plug) fittings -- if your cylinder has a POL valve with no hand-wheel, you need a different connector.
The 1/4-inch male inverted flare output connects directly to:
The ACME nut is hand-tightened -- no wrench needed on the tank side. The 1/4-inch inverted flare at the regulator end requires a wrench (typically 5/8-inch or 11/16-inch open-end). Tighten snugly but do not overtorque; inverted flare seats seal on metal-to-metal contact, not thread compound. Do not use Teflon tape or pipe dope on either end.
After connection, perform a leak check: apply soapy water to all joints and watch for bubbles with the tank valve open. No bubbles means a good seal.
