Camco CSA Approved 200,000 BTU/hr Rated Camco 59163 Pigtail Propane Connector Hose -- 30 Inch

A reliable, code-compliant bridge between your 20 lb or 30 lb propane cylinder and your RV or trailer regulator. With an ACME tank fitting on one end and a 1/4 in male inverted flare on the other, this 30-inch pigtail gives you the flexibility and reach needed for a secure, leak-free propane connection -- including use as an auxiliary supply line off a 4-port brass tee.

The Right Hose for Your RV Propane Setup

Most RV propane systems rely on a short, flexible pigtail hose to link the cylinder valve to the regulator or distribution tee. Camco's 59163 is built specifically for this job -- it connects directly to standard refillable propane cylinders (20 lb and 30 lb) and terminates in a 1/4 in male inverted flare fitting that threads into most RV regulators and 4-port brass tees without adapters.

At 30 inches, it provides enough slack to prevent stress on the cylinder valve connection, accommodates slight movement during travel setup, and makes cylinder swaps easier. The hose is CSA approved and built with safety features that matter: a thermal shut-off that activates in a fire situation, and an excess flow valve that closes automatically if the downstream gas line is broken or severed.

ACME x 1/4 in Inverted Flare

Standard ACME tank fitting threads onto POL-style refillable cylinders; 1/4 in male inverted flare connects to most RV regulators and brass tees without adapters.

200,000 BTU/hr Flow Capacity

Rated to handle the full propane demand of a typical RV system including furnace, range, water heater, and refrigerator running simultaneously.

Thermal and Excess Flow Protection

Built-in thermal shut-off closes the valve in a fire event. Excess flow protection automatically restricts gas if a downstream line ruptures or is severed.

CSA Approved

Certified by the Canadian Standards Association for propane service -- meets the safety and performance standards required for RV and trailer use in the US and Canada.

Compatible Propane Tank Sizes

This hose is designed for refillable 20 lb and 30 lb propane cylinders with standard ACME (Type 1) valve connections. It is not intended for disposable 1 lb camping canisters or for connection to OPD-only valves that require a different fitting style. Always verify your cylinder valve type before purchase.

Works With 4-Port Brass Tees: Install this hose on an auxiliary port of a Camco or compatible 4-port brass propane tee to add a second cylinder supply line, extend your usable tank count, or connect a standalone propane appliance alongside your main system.

Typical Installation Points

  • Single-regulator RV and travel trailer propane systems (20 lb or 30 lb cylinder to regulator)
  • Dual-cylinder systems using a 4-port brass tee or changeover regulator
  • Auxiliary propane supply for add-on appliances (portable heater, outdoor grill) fed from main tank
  • Replacement for worn, cracked, or kinked factory pigtail hoses
Replacement and Cross-Reference: Camco part number 59163. Also sold under SKU 66-8918 and vendor part 06-0496 at rvupgradestore.com. UPC 014717591638. If you are replacing a factory pigtail, match the thread size (1/4 in inverted flare) on your regulator inlet before ordering.

Safety and Maintenance Tips

  • Inspect the hose before each camping season and after any rough towing -- look for cracks, abrasion, or kinking.
  • Apply a leak-detection solution (soap and water or dedicated leak detector) to all connections after installation. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
  • Do not exceed the rated BTU capacity by connecting large commercial appliances.
  • Store the hose away from direct sunlight and heat sources when not in use to extend service life.
  • Replace immediately if the hose shows any signs of damage, corrosion at the fittings, or leaks that cannot be stopped by tightening the connection.

Important Information -- Read Before Use
  • This hose is for use with refillable 20 lb and 30 lb propane cylinders only -- do not use with disposable 1 lb canisters or non-ACME valve types.
  • Always perform a leak test with a soap solution after connecting. Never use a flame to detect leaks.
  • Do not use if the hose is cracked, kinked, abraded, or shows corrosion at either fitting -- replace immediately.
  • Thermal shut-off and excess flow valve are one-time protective devices; if either has activated, the hose must be replaced before returning to service.
  • Never exceed the 200,000 BTU/hr rated flow capacity.
  • For outdoor use in propane service only -- not for natural gas, butane, or any other fuel type.
