Stop buying disposable 1 lb cylinders every camping trip. The Camco 59823 hose assembly bridges the gap between small appliances -- camp stoves, portable heaters, lanterns -- and your existing 20 or 30 lb refillable propane tank. At 5 feet of working length, it gives you real positioning flexibility without wrestling the bulk tank right up next to your gear.
Most compact propane appliances -- tabletop stoves, Mr. Heater-style portable heaters, propane lanterns -- are built around the standard 1 lb disposable cylinder connection. This Camco hose assembly terminates at the appliance end with an acme nut that threads directly onto that standard 1 lb fitting, so no adapters or extra hardware are needed on the appliance side.
The tank end connects to a standard POL or QCC1 (Type 1) outlet on your 20 or 30 lb refillable cylinder. This is the same connection used by most standard BBQ grills and RV propane pigtails, making hookup straightforward. The result is a simple, code-compliant way to stop disposing of single-use cylinders and run small appliances from your existing camp propane supply.
Enough reach to position your appliance comfortably away from the bulk tank while keeping the setup tidy at your campsite or on your RV patio.
Easy-grip acme nut threads directly onto the standard 1 lb disposable cylinder port on small propane appliances -- no adapter needed at the appliance end.
Built-in excess flow valve automatically shuts down gas flow if the line is severed or develops a major leak, reducing the risk of uncontrolled gas release.
Thermal cutoff feature activates in a fire scenario, helping prevent uncontrolled gas feed to an active flame or heat source.
This hose is designed for appliances that accept the standard 1 lb disposable cylinder thread -- the most common small-format propane connection in North America. Compatible appliances include:
The bulk tank end is designed for use with standard 20 lb or 30 lb refillable propane cylinders -- the type commonly used for RV camping, backyard grilling, and tailgating. It is not intended for 1 lb cylinders on both ends, nor for connection to your RV's onboard propane system manifold or high-pressure line.
A single 20 lb refillable tank holds the equivalent of roughly 20 disposable 1 lb cylinders. Running your camp stove or portable heater from a refillable bulk tank through this hose cuts per-BTU cost significantly and eliminates the hassle of disposing of spent canisters.
Camco builds two passive safety systems into this hose assembly -- both operate automatically with no user input required:
Propane appliances connected to bulk tanks should always be used outdoors or in well-ventilated spaces. Never use this hose assembly to run a propane appliance inside an enclosed RV, tent, or vehicle. Inspect the hose for cracks, kinks, or damage before each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
Check all connections with a soapy water solution after hookup. Bubbles at any fitting indicate a leak -- tighten the connection or inspect the fitting before use. Store the hose coiled loosely and away from direct sunlight and heat sources when not in use to maximize hose life.
This hose assembly is covered by Camco's limited 90-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
