A certified, flexible LP gas hose built for the demanding connections inside your RV -- from appliances fed off a two-stage regulator to kitchen slide-outs that need a reliable, flex-rated gas line between the fixed coach plumbing and the moving slide room.
The MB Sturgis 100041-60 is a 60-inch high-pressure propane hose designed to handle the LP gas supply side of your RV -- whether that means running gas to a range, oven, furnace, or water heater, or providing the flexible loop needed when your kitchen slide-out extends and retracts. At 60 inches, it gives you enough working length to route cleanly without sharp bends or undue strain on fittings.
Both ends are 3/8-inch female inverted flare (FIF), the standard connection type used throughout most RV propane systems. These ends thread directly onto male inverted flare fittings found on appliance valves, manifold ports, and slide-out flex connectors without adapters in most installations. The 1/4-inch inside diameter keeps flow resistance low while staying compatible with typical residential-style LP appliance demand.
Enough length to route around obstacles, through floor channels, or through the wall pocket of a slide-out -- without pulling tight under load.
Standard RV LP fitting type on both ends. Connects directly to most RV appliance valves and manifold ports with no adapter needed.
Dual-certified for high-pressure LP gas service. Meets the safety standards required by most RV manufacturers and inspection authorities.
Flexible construction handles the repeated extension and retraction cycles of RV kitchen slide-outs without fatiguing the hose body or fittings.
This hose is a direct-fit solution for several common RV LP plumbing scenarios:
UL569 covers the standard for pigtails and flexible hose connectors for LP gas. CSA 8.3 is the Canadian Standards Association standard for flexible connectors for LP gas appliances. Holding both certifications means this hose meets the requirements of inspectors and campground operators in the US and Canada.
When an RV kitchen is mounted in a slide-out, the gas line between the fixed coach plumbing and the appliance must flex every time the slide moves. A rigid line will crack or pull a fitting loose over time. The 100041-60 is long enough and flexible enough to form the required loop inside the slide pocket, absorbing the 8-18 inches of travel typical in RV kitchen slides without kinking or stressing the end fittings.
Route the hose in a gentle S-curve or U-loop inside the slide cavity so it has slack to work with as the slide extends. Avoid routing it where it can be pinched by the slide mechanism or contact sharp sheet metal edges.
This hose is rated for use downstream of a two-stage LP regulator -- the standard configuration on most RVs built after the mid-1990s. In a two-stage system, the first stage drops tank pressure to approximately 10 PSI, and the second stage drops it to the appliance supply pressure (typically 11 inches water column / approximately 0.4 PSI). This hose handles both the inter-stage and downstream sides of that system.
Inspect LP flex hoses at least once per season. Look for surface cracking, abrasion wear, kinking, corrosion at the end fittings, or any deformation of the hose body. A hose that has been pinched flat, sharply kinked, or shows surface checking should be replaced regardless of age. The MB Sturgis 100041-60 carries a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty.
