A straightforward, safety-certified hose connector that links your 20 lb or 30 lb refillable propane cylinder to your RV or trailer propane regulator or 4-port brass tee. Built-in thermal protection and excess flow protection make this a code-compliant, worry-free connection every time you hook up at camp.
The Camco 59053 is one of the most commonly used pigtail connectors in the RV propane world. The 12-inch braided hose is long enough to give a clean, stress-free connection between a standard ACME-threaded cylinder valve and the inlet of a typical single- or two-stage regulator -- or a 4-port brass tee for multi-appliance systems.
The Type 1 Acme nut threads onto the POL-style valve found on most 20 lb and 30 lb refillable propane cylinders used in RV applications. The opposite end terminates in a 1/4-inch inverted male flare, which connects directly to regulators and tees with the matching female flare inlet -- no adapters needed for most standard RV setups.
Automatic thermal shutoff activates in a fire event to stop propane flow and reduce hazard at the cylinder connection point.
Built-in excess flow valve closes automatically if the downstream line is severed or develops a major leak, limiting uncontrolled gas release.
Rated for up to 200,000 BTU per hour -- more than enough capacity for a dual-burner RV system running a furnace, range, and water heater simultaneously.
Type 1 Acme nut on the tank side, 1/4-inch inverted male flare on the regulator side. Fits the vast majority of RV and trailer propane setups without modification.
This connector is designed for use with 20 lb and 30 lb refillable propane cylinders -- the standard bottle sizes used on most travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class A and C motorhomes with exterior propane compartments. It is sold individually and connects your cylinder to:
If you are running a two-cylinder system, you typically need two of these pigtails -- one per bottle -- connecting to a dual-inlet regulator or changeover valve. Check your regulator's inlet thread before ordering to confirm the 1/4-inch inverted flare match.
Propane hoses and pigtails should never be considered a commodity item -- the safety devices built into this connector matter in real-world scenarios:
