A reliable, code-compliant connection between your 20 lb or 30 lb refillable LP cylinder and your RV or trailer propane regulator. Built with dual safety features and rated at 200,000 BTU per hour -- enough capacity for most RV appliance loads combined.
The Camco 59073 propane pigtail hose is the standard solution for connecting a Type 1 (QCC1) LP cylinder to a dual-stage or single-stage propane regulator on your RV, travel trailer, fifth wheel, or pop-up camper. At 20 inches long, it gives you enough reach to comfortably route the hose from a tank compartment or exterior propane locker to your regulator inlet without kinking or straining the connection.
The Type 1 ACME nut threads onto standard OPD-valve 20 lb and 30 lb refillable propane cylinders -- the same tanks used at most campgrounds and exchange stations. The 1/4" inverted male flare on the regulator end connects directly to the standard 1/4" inverted flare inlet found on most RV regulators and 4-port brass propane tees.
Handles the full combined load of typical RV appliances including furnace, water heater, cooktop, and refrigerator without flow restriction.
Built-in thermal protection device shuts off gas flow automatically in the event of a fire near the hose -- a critical safety layer for enclosed propane compartments.
Excess flow valve triggers if a downstream line ruptures or is severed, stopping gas flow before a dangerous buildup can occur.
Left-hand threaded ACME nut fits all standard OPD-equipped 20 lb and 30 lb refillable LP cylinders -- no adapters needed for typical RV setups.
The 1/4" inverted male flare on the outlet end is the industry-standard connection for RV propane regulators. This hose works with single-tank regulators, automatic changeover regulators, and 4-port brass propane tee manifolds commonly used to run multiple appliance lines from one supply point. No extra adapters or fittings are needed for standard RV installations.
No tools required for the ACME nut end -- hand-tighten to the LP cylinder valve. The 1/4" inverted flare end should be tightened with a wrench and leak-tested with approved leak-detection solution before use.
Propane hoses should be inspected at least once per season and replaced if you notice any of the following:
This hose is designed for LP (liquefied petroleum / propane) service only. Do not use with natural gas systems. Verify that your regulator inlet is a 1/4" inverted flare before connecting -- some older or aftermarket regulators use POL or other fittings that require a different pigtail.
Always perform a leak test with an approved propane leak-detection solution (not open flame) after any LP connection is made or remade. Check the ACME nut, flare fitting, and all regulator connections before lighting any appliance.
