Mr. Heater600 PSI TestedSolid Brass FittingsMr. Heater F273733 Stay-A-While 5 Ft Propane Hose Assembly Kit

Tap into an auxiliary propane cylinder without disconnecting your existing setup. The Mr. Heater F273733 Stay-A-While kit gives you a ready-to-use 5-foot flexible pigtail hose paired with the Stay-A-While propane tee -- so you can run a secondary cylinder alongside your RV's onboard propane supply. Solid brass fittings throughout and a hose tested to 600 PSI mean this is a safe, durable solution for camp-ready propane expansion.

More Propane Run Time, Without the Hassle

Whether you're boondocking for a week or just tired of swapping tanks mid-trip, the Stay-A-While system is designed to let you add a standard 1 lb. throwaway cylinder or connect a larger auxiliary tank through a POL fitting -- all while staying plumbed into your RV's existing low-pressure propane system via the 1/4" inverted flare port.

The kit arrives as a complete assembly. The 5-foot flexible hose gives you enough reach to position a portable cylinder nearby without stress on the fittings. The Stay-A-While tee handles the connection routing, so no additional adapters are required for most standard setups.

Dual-Cylinder Capability

The Stay-A-While tee accepts both a 1 lb. throwaway cylinder (1"-20 male thread) and a standard POL fitting, so you can run an auxiliary tank while staying tied into your RV system.

600 PSI Pressure Tested

The hose is stretch tested to 400 PSI and pressure tested to 600 PSI -- well above typical low-pressure propane operating ranges for RV appliances.

All Solid Brass Fittings

Every connection point on this kit uses solid brass construction for corrosion resistance and reliable, gas-tight seals in outdoor and seasonal environments.

5 Ft Flexible Pigtail Hose

Five feet of flexible hose gives you practical positioning range for a portable or auxiliary cylinder -- reducing strain on fittings and making hookup easier in tight campsites.

What's Included in the Kit:
  • 1 x 5-foot flexible propane pigtail hose (Excess Flow POL x 1/4" inverted male flare)
  • 1 x Stay-A-While propane tee fitting

Understanding the Stay-A-While Tee Connections

The Stay-A-While tee is the heart of this kit. It serves as a manifold with four connection points:

  • Excess Flow POL: Connects to your RV's existing propane supply or regulator inlet.
  • 1"-20 Male Throwaway Cylinder Thread: Accepts standard 1 lb. disposable propane cylinders (the type used with camping stoves and lanterns).
  • Female POL with ACME Thread: Allows connection to a larger refillable propane cylinder via a standard POL fitting.
  • 1/4" Inverted Female Flare: The port where the 5-foot pigtail hose mates -- linking the tee to your system or appliance.
Low-Pressure System Use: This hose and tee assembly is designed for low-pressure propane applications typical of RV systems (downstream of a two-stage or single-stage regulator). It is not intended for high-pressure vapor or liquid propane lines directly from a tank without a regulator in the circuit.

Typical Applications

  • Connecting a portable propane cylinder to extend RV propane capacity while dry camping
  • Running a portable propane heater (such as the Mr. Heater Buddy series) off your RV's supply
  • Adding a small throwaway cylinder as a backup fuel source for a camp stove or lantern
  • Extending reach between your RV's propane connection and an outdoor appliance
Installation and Use Tips:
  • Apply thread sealant or Teflon tape rated for propane (yellow tape) on all male flare and POL connections if not using pre-installed seals.
  • After connecting, perform a soap-and-water bubble test on every fitting before lighting any appliance.
  • Store the hose coiled loosely when not in use -- avoid sharp kinks that can stress the hose wall over time.
  • Inspect the hose before each season for cracks, abrasion, or stiffness; replace if any damage is visible.

Important Information -- Read Before Installing:
  • This assembly is rated for LOW-PRESSURE propane service only. Do not use directly on the high-pressure vapor outlet of a propane cylinder without an approved regulator in the line.
  • Always perform a leak test with soapy water after making any connections. Do not rely on smell alone to detect leaks.
  • Do not exceed the hose's 600 PSI pressure test rating -- normal RV low-pressure propane systems operate well below this, but using this hose in high-pressure applications voids any warranty and creates a safety hazard.
  • Inspect the hose and fittings before every use. Replace immediately if the hose shows any cracking, kinking, abrasion, or if any fitting shows corrosion or damage.
  • The 1 lb. throwaway cylinder port (1"-20 thread) is designed for standard disposable camp cylinders. Do not attempt to use non-standard or refilled throwaway cylinders.
  • Keep propane connections away from open flames, sparks, and ignition sources during hookup and leak testing.
  • This product weighs 5 lbs. as shipped -- factor this into storage and routing decisions inside propane compartments.
