A reliable, code-compliant connection between your portable propane cylinder and your RV or trailer regulator. The Camco 59193 pigtail hose ships ready to install with a Type 1 ACME nut on the cylinder end and a 1/4-inch inverted male flare on the regulator end -- two industry-standard fittings that eliminate the need for adapters on most North American RV setups.
At 60 inches (5 feet) of working length, this pigtail gives you enough slack to position your propane cylinders without stressing the regulator connection -- a common cause of micro-leaks at the fitting. The flexible hose construction routes cleanly in tight compartments and tongue boxes while keeping both ends under low mechanical stress.
Camco engineers two independent safety mechanisms into this hose. A thermal shutoff activates in a fire event, stopping gas flow before the hose can contribute to flame spread. An excess-flow valve detects the sudden pressure drop that follows a broken or severely kinked line and closes automatically, limiting uncontrolled gas release. Neither device requires user intervention -- they reset when the cause is corrected and the system is properly purged and restored.
Industry-standard left-hand ACME thread fits all standard POL-to-Type-1 (QCC1) cylinders common on travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class A/C motorhomes.
Handles the combined demand of a typical dual-burner furnace, water heater, range, and refrigerator without restricting flow to your regulator.
Internal thermal shutoff closes the hose in a fire event, helping prevent an already-dangerous situation from escalating through uncontrolled gas flow.
Automatically closes if downstream pressure drops sharply -- such as from a broken line -- and reopens once conditions normalize and pressure is restored safely.
This hose uses the two most common propane fittings in North American RV applications:
No additional adapters are required for the vast majority of RV and trailer installations. If your existing regulator uses a POL fitting instead of an inverted flare, a separate POL adapter (not included) is needed.
Proper installation takes only a few minutes and requires no special tools beyond a wrench for the flare fitting end.
The NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code recommends replacing flexible propane hoses and connectors every 5 to 10 years regardless of visible condition. Camco includes a limited 90-day warranty on this hose against manufacturing defects. Regardless of warranty status, replace immediately if you observe:
