A reliable, code-approved link between your 20 lb or 30 lb propane cylinder and your RV regulator or 4-port brass tee. Built with thermal shutoff and excess-flow protection, this hose is a safety-first upgrade over bare fittings and older rubber lines.
The Camco 59153 propane pigtail hose gives you a flexible, durable connection from a standard refillable cylinder to your RV propane system. The 24-inch length provides enough slack to open and close the tank valve without straining the fitting, and it works equally well as a primary supply line or as an auxiliary connection on a 4-port brass tee setup.
Both end fittings are pre-assembled and tested. The POL/ACME end threads onto a standard DOT cylinder valve, while the 1/4-inch male inverted flare connects directly to most RV regulators and 4-port tee ports. No adapters needed for typical single- or dual-tank RV configurations.
Built-in thermal protection automatically restricts flow if the hose is exposed to fire -- reducing fire spread risk during an emergency.
Integral excess-flow valve cuts gas flow if the downstream line ruptures or is severed, helping prevent uncontrolled gas release.
Rated at 200,000 BTU per hour -- more than enough capacity for RV furnaces, stoves, water heaters, and refrigerators running simultaneously.
CSA approval confirms the hose meets Canadian and U.S. safety standards for LP gas supply lines -- required by many campgrounds and RV parks.
This hose is designed for use with 20 lb and 30 lb refillable DOT propane cylinders -- the most common sizes used on travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers. It is not intended for 1 lb disposable cylinders or ASME horizontal tanks.
Thread the ACME fitting hand-tight onto the cylinder valve, then snug with a wrench -- do not overtighten. Connect the 1/4-inch male inverted flare end to your regulator inlet or tee port and tighten with a flare-nut wrench. Apply soapy water to all connections after assembly and check for bubbles before lighting any appliances.
Propane hoses should be inspected before each season and replaced if you notice cracking, brittleness, kinking, or any odor of gas near connections. The Camco 59153 carries a limited 90-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
