MB Sturgis 450,000 BTU/hr Rated Back Check Valve Included 100575-36-MBS Propane Pigtail Hose with Back Check -- Type 1 ACME x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare, 36"

A code-compliant, dual-tank-ready propane connection hose purpose-built for RV service. The built-in back check valve stops backflow at the tank fitting, keeping your system safe when you switch tanks or disconnect under pressure. At 36 inches (3 ft), this hose gives you enough reach to connect a standard 20 or 30 lb cylinder to your RV's two-stage or single-stage regulator without kinking or stressing the line.

Safe, Reliable Propane Tank Connection for RVs and Dual-Tank Systems

The MB Sturgis 100575-36-MBS is a propane pigtail hose designed specifically for RV applications where dependability and safety matter. The Type 1 (ACME) fitting on the tank end threads onto standard QCC1/Type 1 propane cylinders -- the same fitting found on most 20 lb and 30 lb tanks used by RVers. The regulator end terminates in a 1/4" male inverted flare (MIF) connection, which mates directly to the inlet port of most RV two-stage or single-stage regulators.

What sets this hose apart from a basic pigtail is the built-in back check valve at the ACME connector. When you run dual tanks through an automatic or manual changeover valve, the back check prevents reverse flow from the active tank side into the tank being swapped out. This is a critical safety feature for any dual-supply propane system -- and it is what makes this hose specifically suited for that role rather than a standard single-tank hookup hose.

Type 1 ACME Tank Fitting

Threads onto QCC1/Type 1 cylinders (most 20 lb and 30 lb tanks). Hand-tightens with no tools needed at the tank.

Built-In Back Check Valve

Integrated into the ACME connector. Prevents backflow when disconnecting or switching tanks in a dual-supply setup.

1/4" Male Inverted Flare Outlet

Standard regulator-side fitting compatible with most RV two-stage and single-stage regulator inlets. Wrench-tightened with no sealant tape required.

450,000 BTU/hr Capacity

Handles the full load of typical RV propane systems -- furnace, range, water heater, and refrigerator running simultaneously.

Dual-Tank System Ready

This pigtail is specifically designed for use with dual-tank automatic or manual changeover regulators. The back check valve at the tank fitting allows one hose to remain pressurized while the other tank is disconnected and swapped -- a key safety requirement in dual-supply propane systems used on most towable and motorized RVs with two-cylinder setups.

Fitting Compatibility Details

Tank end (Type 1 / QCC1 ACME): Left-hand thread, hand-tight connection. Fits all standard 20 lb, 30 lb, and most larger DOT cylinders sold in North America with a Type 1 valve outlet.

Regulator end (1/4" Male Inverted Flare): Right-hand thread. Connects to the female inverted flare inlet port found on the majority of RV propane regulators. Use a proper flare fitting wrench -- do not use PTFE tape on inverted flare connections; the metal-to-metal flare seat is the seal.

Installation and Use Notes

  • Do not use PTFE tape or pipe dope on inverted flare fittings -- the connection seals metal-to-metal at the flare seat.
  • Inspect the hose for cuts, abrasion, UV degradation, or kinks before each season. Replace if the jacket is cracked or the hose is kinked.
  • This hose is for LP vapor service only. Do not use for liquid propane withdrawal.
  • After connection, perform a leak test with soapy water or approved propane leak detector solution. Do not use an open flame to check for leaks.
  • Route and secure the hose to prevent contact with hot surfaces, moving parts, or sharp edges.

Common Applications

  • Replacing a worn or damaged pigtail hose on a two-cylinder RV propane system
  • Upgrading from a hose without a back check valve when adding a changeover regulator
  • Fifth wheels, travel trailers, and motorhomes with dual 20 lb or 30 lb cylinder mounts
  • Any application requiring a QCC1/Type 1 tank connection with a 1/4" inverted flare regulator inlet

Maintenance Tips

  • Check the back check valve function annually -- with the tank valve closed, disconnect the ACME fitting and verify no gas escapes from the tank side.
  • Keep the ACME nut threads clean and free of debris. A small amount of silicone grease on the rubber O-ring inside the ACME nut can extend seal life.
  • Replace the hose every 5-10 years or immediately if any damage, odor of propane at the hose body, or stiffness is noticed -- even if no visible cracks are present.

Important Safety Information

  • Propane is flammable and heavier than air. Always work in a ventilated area and keep ignition sources away when connecting or disconnecting propane hoses.
  • Close the propane cylinder valve before disconnecting any hose fitting. The back check valve reduces backflow but does not substitute for proper shut-off procedure.
  • Never use PTFE tape or pipe compound on the 1/4" inverted flare fitting -- doing so can prevent proper sealing and cause leaks.
  • Perform a soap-bubble leak test at all connections after installation. Do not use an open flame to check for leaks.
  • This hose is rated for LP vapor service only. Do not use for liquid propane withdrawal or any service outside the rated 450,000 BTU/hr capacity.
  • Replace immediately if the hose is kinked, cracked, abraded, or if any odor of propane is detected near the hose body.
  • Installation must comply with NFPA 58, local codes, and the RV manufacturer's propane system requirements.
