CamcoPart No. 59843Type 1 ACME x 1/4" Male NPTCamco 59843 -- 20" x 1/4" LP Propane Hose for RV and Camper Tank Connections

A straightforward, safety-rated propane hose designed for everyday use between 20 or 30 lb refillable cylinders and the regulator inlet on your camper or RV. Built-in thermal protection and excess flow protection give you a critical layer of safety that bare hoses simply don't provide.

Safe, Simple LP Connection from Tank to Regulator

The Camco 59843 is a 20-inch LP hose purpose-built for connecting standard 20 lb or 30 lb DOT propane cylinders to a single-stage or two-stage regulator on a camper, travel trailer, pop-up, or portable propane appliance setup. At 20 inches, it gives you enough slack to comfortably seat the tank without pulling on your regulator fitting.

The Type 1 ACME nut on the tank end threads onto the standard OPD valve found on all refillable cylinders manufactured after 1998 in the US and Canada. The 1/4-inch Male NPT on the regulator end is compatible with the vast majority of RV regulator inlets and most portable appliance adapters.

Thermal Protection

Internal thermal shutoff responds to fire or extreme heat conditions, cutting off propane flow automatically to limit risk.

Excess Flow Protection

If the downstream gas line is broken or disconnected unexpectedly, the excess flow valve restricts flow to reduce hazard.

Type 1 ACME Nut

Fits all standard OPD-equipped 20 lb and 30 lb refillable propane cylinders sold in the US and Canada since 1998.

1/4" Male NPT Outlet

Threads directly into most RV regulator inlets and compatible appliance adapters without additional fittings.

Why the Built-In Safety Features Matter

Bare braided LP hoses without thermal or excess flow protection are legal in some installations but leave you exposed in two scenarios: a campfire or heat source that compromises the hose before you can shut off the tank, and a fitting failure or severed hose that allows uncontrolled propane release. Camco engineered both protections into this hose so you don't have to source them separately or rely on your regulator alone.

OPD Valve Compatibility: The Type 1 ACME connection is designed for OPD (Overfill Prevention Device) valves, which are required on all refillable cylinders 4 lbs to 40 lbs in the US. This hose will not work with older POL-style valves found on pre-1998 cylinders or large stationary tanks.

Typical Installation and Use Cases

  • Connecting a single 20 lb or 30 lb cylinder to a camper or travel trailer regulator pigtail connection
  • Portable camp kitchen or griddle setups where a standard 1 lb canister adapter is not practical
  • Replacement hose when the original OEM pigtail is cracked, stiff, or shows signs of weathering
  • Secondary tank connection on a dual-regulator manifold system (check your manifold inlet thread before ordering)
Hose Inspection: Inspect this hose before every camping season and any time the hose has been stored in freezing conditions or exposed to petroleum products or UV for extended periods. Replace immediately if cracks, kinks, stiffness, or odor of propane near connections are detected even after tightening.

Warranty and Compliance

Camco backs this hose with a limited 90-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The hose is manufactured to meet applicable LP gas hose standards for recreational vehicle and portable appliance use.

Storage Tip: When not in use, close your tank valve before disconnecting this hose. Cap or bag the fittings to keep debris and moisture out of the threads, particularly if the rig will sit through winter. Thread damage from corrosion or debris is the leading cause of connection leaks on LP pigtails.

Important Information
  • This hose is rated for use with 20 lb and 30 lb refillable propane cylinders equipped with Type 1 OPD valves only. Do not use with POL valves or large stationary ASME tanks.
  • Always perform a leak check with soapy water or approved leak detector solution after making any propane connection -- do not use an open flame.
  • Do not use this hose if it shows any cracking, kinking, brittleness, or propane odor at connections. Replace immediately.
  • The Type 1 ACME nut uses a left-hand thread -- turn counter-clockwise to tighten onto the tank valve. The 1/4" NPT regulator end is standard right-hand thread.
  • Propane work in enclosed spaces is hazardous. Ensure adequate ventilation when connecting or disconnecting this hose.
  • This product carries a limited 90-day warranty. Damage from improper installation, over-tightening, or chemical exposure is not covered.
