Marshall Excelsior350 PSI RatedMade in USAMarshall Excelsior MER613-18 -- 18" Propane Hose, 3/8" Female Flare Swivel x 3/8" Female Flare Swivel

A compact, code-compliant LP gas hose engineered for RV and camper propane systems. Both ends feature fully swiveling 3/8 in. female flare fittings so you can make connections without twisting the hose, and every connection is locked down with a crimped brass ferrule for a leak-free, long-term seal. Rated to 350 PSI working pressure and built on UL- and CGA-approved thermoplastic hose stock -- this is a direct replacement or upgrade for any application calling for an 18 in. LP hose with 3/8 in. female flare ends.

Dependable LP Hose for RV Propane Systems

The MER613-18 is part of Marshall Excelsior's proven propane hose line, manufactured in the USA and built to meet the demands of mobile LP gas applications. At 18 inches, it is a versatile length for connecting a secondary regulator, an appliance branch, a portable cylinder adapter, or a generator propane inlet without creating slack or tension in the line.

The swivel fittings on both ends are a practical advantage during installation -- you can thread each end onto its fitting independently without rotating the hose body or fighting kinks. Once torqued, the brass flare seats form a metal-to-metal seal that does not rely on a gasket or O-ring to contain pressure.

Swivel Flare Fittings Both Ends

3/8 in. female flare swivel on each end allows independent threading for clean, torque-free installation.

Crimped Brass Ferrules

Full mechanical crimp at each end creates a permanent, leak-resistant bond between fitting and hose body.

UL and CGA Approved Hose

Thermoplastic hose body carries UL listing and CGA approval for LP gas service -- code-compliant for RV use.

Thermal Protection Included

Hose includes thermal protection sleeve to guard against radiant heat common in RV underbelly and compartment environments.

Fitting Compatibility and Connection Notes

Both ends of this hose use a standard 3/8 in. female SAE 45-degree flare (also written as 3/8 in. FF). This thread pattern mates directly with 3/8 in. male flare fittings, which are common on:

  • Two-stage LP regulators with 3/8 in. outlet ports
  • Propane distribution manifolds in RV basements
  • Portable generator LP inlets with male flare adapters
  • Secondary appliance regulators on ranges, furnaces, and water heaters

If your appliance or fitting uses a different thread pattern -- such as 1/4 in. flare, 3/8 in. NPT, or a POL connection -- you will need an appropriate adapter. The swivel design does not require a backup wrench on the hose end during tightening, but always use a flare nut wrench to avoid rounding the brass hex.

Made in the USA -- Marshall Excelsior manufactures this hose domestically and backs it with a limited 5-year warranty, one of the longest in the LP hose category.

Typical RV Applications

This 18 in. hose length works well in scenarios where appliances or regulators are close together and a longer hose would create unnecessary loops or interference:

  • Regulator-to-manifold connections in RV propane compartments
  • Short jumper between dual-cylinder automatic changeover regulator and supply fitting
  • Portable cylinder connections at a grill station or outdoor cook center
  • Generator LP supply line where the quick-connect adapter is nearby
Pull Test Rating: This hose assembly is rated to withstand 400 lbs of axial pull force at the ferrule crimps -- providing confidence that road vibration and occasional line tension will not separate a fitting from the hose body.
Installation Tips
  • Inspect the hose and fittings for damage before each season or propane system service.
  • Apply leak-detector solution (never open flame) to all connections after installation.
  • Route the hose away from sharp edges, exhaust components, and areas with standing water.
  • Replace the hose immediately if cracks, blistering, or fitting corrosion are visible.
  • Do not over-bend -- maintain a gentle curve to avoid kinking the thermoplastic body.
