This propane hose is ideal for travel trailers with a split-tank system. This kind of system features 1 cylinder on the driver's side and 1 cylinder on the passenger's side of your trailer. This hose connects the cylinder on the passenger's side to a high-pressure regulator. An additional hose (sold separately) will then carry the propane from the high-pressure regulator to the 2-stage regulator on the driver's side of your trailer.
Bypass Mode for Safety
This Type 1 connector will go into bypass mode if the flow rate surpasses the maximum flow capacity for this connector, which is 450,000 Btu per hour. A ball inside of the fitting will push an internal spring down, pressing firmly against the bottom of the fitting to shut off the flow of gas.
When choosing a Type 1 connector, consider your overall propane demands and choose a connector with a flow rate that just exceeds it. That way, you won't trigger the bypass mode during normal use, but it will trigger in the event of a leak. If the bypass valve engages, stop using gas and start checking your connections for leaks.

I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND AN AMERICAN PART MADE WITH HIGH QUALITY TRUE RUBBER HOSE AND QUALITY CLAMPS WITH A PERFECT TANK FITTING. ETRAILER OBTAINED THIS FOR ME(AFTER A LITTLE WAIT) AND I WAS SO HAPPY TO RECEIVE IT. THANK YOU FOR THE QUALITY EQUIPMENT, I HAVE COME TO EXPECT FROM YOUR COMPANY.

This is what you want. Don't buy the cheap chinese crap. I did to replace original USA made pigtails (15 years old) and after losing a couple of tanks of propane, figured out they were slowly leaking. Cheap pigtails were only a couple of years old too. Don't let the fancy stainless steel braiding fool you like it did me.

Both Propane pigtails fit perfectly with no leaks
by: Chris06/18/2023
I purchased these to update my Lp supply system because mine were hardened and fairly old. They looked really good and fit perfect. We replaced the hoses and went on about testing them and found them to be leaking at both ends. The coupler and the brass fitting was fine, it was the hose connections at the crimp. Not just one of them but both were leaking, and surprisingly both hoses. We were using our camper at the time so I had to put the old ones back on. I got sick and never sent them back. This is only the second time out of all the parts I've purchased from etrailer that had failed, so I wasn't overly upset about. Good looking hoses, just bad crimps. Thankfully I bubble checked them and didn't just put them on and walk off. If I would have sent them back I'm sure etrailer would have replaced them, I just never did. I will still continue to buy my parts from etrailer, stuff happens no fault of them.

First one leaked jyst behind the type-1 connector at the hose. I was promptly sent another that didn't leak. Quality customer service and a good product.

Great service. Quick answers to my questions and part was ordered and received quickly and correctly. Thank you!

This propane hose has already far outlived the original factory one, and recently survived a 14,000 mile cross country trip to Alaska and thru Canada on some extremely rough and dusty roads.

A item that I feel should be replaced on a routine basis
by: Peter08/08/2023
I installed on a travel trailer. It hasn't been used yet on a camping trip but it was easy to install. I did a soapy water check on it and it didn't leak.
by: Brandon02/23/2024
My previous hose is 1'. When I ordered this one it was 2 inches shorter. I'll be needing to return it. Not sure if I missed that but it might be something to consider calling out somewhere.

Last week this propane hose started leaking.
So I'm going to buy a new one .
I was hoping it would of lasted longer than this.

Thank you for a no worries order, my delivery was on time and all it’s good..

Made in USA! Thank you! I tried to by local, still waiting for a call back 2 1/2 weeks later...etrailer will be my first stop for my next RV need!
by: Don06/27/2019
I used these as replacements for two older style hoses on my RV tanks. The old ones required the use of a wrench to remove them from the tank. It was an easy conversion that took less than 15 minutes.
On the connection to the regulator, I used yellow teflon gas tape on the threads as a precautionary measure. Still don't know if that was necessary, but didn't want to take a chance they might leak. So far, so good, no leaks at the connections.
They are reasonably priced good quality hoses. With the older hoses it was a pain to switch out empty tank for a full one. Eventually it got so difficult to get the hose thread started in the propane tank that I stripped one of them out, which is why I ordered new hoses from etrailer.
Tank swap outs are now a breeze, and no tools required! Wished I had done this years ago.
Standard shipment from etrailer was adequate and reasonably priced.

Still working good. Small purchase that has made life easier.

Order was received on time as stated. Items were stocked.

High quality made in USA propane pigtails. Note that these are 1/4 inch pipe thread ends for the older auto switching regulator on my 2007 Airstream International. The more common 1/8 inch reverse flare fitting will not fit mine. The 1/4 inch pipe thread pigtails are a little harder to find, and are able to flow more propane. I have a propane powered generator that thes work very well with.

Still solid, no leaks! Well made product.
by: Robert11/19/2019
Order two of these to replace failed units on our trailer. Shopped on Amazon and saw tons of comments about people getting units that failed and leaked out of the box. Both of these look like high quality hose crimps and two weekends of use without any issues. Shipping was super quick and good communication. Would order from etrailer again.

Bought two of these to replace the originals that came from the factory. One year in and no problems. Seems higher quality then the originals.

Didn't last a year just bought another brand from etrailer couple months ago. Started leaking from the hose connection

Works as should fast delivery
by: Jim06/17/2019
Very well made compared to the O.E. hoses, which only lasted 4 years under VERY little use. You can really see the difference, especially in the end crimp. The O.E. hose had a cheap , sharp, thin ferrule which bit into the hose at the connection, eventually failing. These have good, strong steel circumferential swedge fittings that look like the manufacturer takes pride in their work. The price was VERY fair and the delivery time was a couple of days. Thanks eTrailer!

- What is Difference Between MPT and NPT for Propane FittingsFPT and MPT are both sub types of the NPT which is National Pipe Threads. MPT is just Male Pipe Threads and FPT is just Female Pipe Threads.

- Is There a Type 1 Propane Pigtail with 1/2" FIF on the Output SideI do have an option for you but most if not all propane pigtails with type 1 fittings are going to have either a 1/4" MPT or 1/4" MIF fittings on the other side like the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail part # 100473-12. That said, you can adapt the 1/4" MPT or 1/4" MIF to a 1/2" FIF with the correct fitting found at your local home supply stores.
view full answer... - Does the MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly Part # 100473-12 Require a SealerThe MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly part # 100473-12 should be exactly what you need to replace the leader hose that connects the propane tank and regulator on your 2007 Airstream Bambi Anniversary Edition. Since it has a MPT fitting you will need to use some sort of thread sealer or pipe tape which can be obtained at your local hardware store. It does not come with it but it is also fairly inexpensive. I have attached a review video for you as well.

- Solution for Needing Replacement Propane Pigtail HarnessWe don't have the replacement parts for the hose you have now but we do have replacement pigtail harnesses which would replace the entire hose like with the part # 100473-12 which is 1 foot long.

However, once the 1/4" MPT is threaded into the regulator and the RV Type 1, with back check valve, is connected to the propane supply, you will have a bout 12" of length between regulator and valve connection. Providing about the same as you have with current hose.

view full answer... - How to Remove Quick Disconnect Adapter From POL Fitting on DOT Propane TankThere isn't really any advice I have on removing the quick disconnect fitting other than getting a wrench and plenty of elbow grease. It's in a POL thread which means it's a left-hand thread so keep that in mind. Once you get the quick disconnect out you can use a standard pigtail hose with a Type 1 ACME nut like part # 100473-12 on it.

- 12 Propane PigtailIf you have a 1/4 Inch - Male NPT, I suggest the # 100473-12. If you have a 1/4 Inch - MIF, then I suggest # 100833-12. If you have brass fittings in the inlets on the regulator then you most likely have the inverted flare.

view full answer... - Regulator for Using Portable Tank to Power Small Appliances in Cottage A dual stage regulator like the MB Sturgis Vertical Regulator # 108220 can indeed be used to connect to a portable propane tank with a Type 1 hose like # 100473-12. This will allow the portable tank to power the small appliances in your cottage. You will just need to determine what kind of fittings you have in the cottage for the needed hose to run from the regulator.

view full answer... - Replacement Pigtail Propane Hose with 1/4 MPT FittingThanks so much for the pictures and I'm sorry to hear about your accident! I hope everyone is okay. The correct replacement hose for your regulator is the MB Sturgis # 100473-12. This hose measures 12" long but various longer units are available, which I have linked below. The brass fitting/adapter you see on your existing hose is what is seen on some regulators, such as with the Camco # CAM59005. These are typically installed and kept on the regulator itself but sometimes are put on...

- Troubleshooting RV Stove Top Flame FlickerThank you for including the picture. You're on the right path as this is often a sign of a leaking hose, a bad regulator, or your stove has an issue. I would start by replacing your supply line with the MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly - RV # 100473-12 as a low cost start to troubleshooting.
view full answer... - Propane Regulator Replacement For A 1992 Coleman Elite Royal Pop Up CamperDepending on your current regulator, you will want either a single stage like the MB Sturgis Single Stage Propane # 108072 or a dual stage like the MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 108221 to replace your current popup camper setup. Replacing the pigtail hose with the MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly - RV Type 1 w/ Back Check x 1/4" MPT - 12" # 100473-12 could also update your Coleman Elite propane setup.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Hose From Propane Tank to Regulator on 5th WheelThe hose and fittings sizes are standardized for RV's. Therefore, what you have is going to be a type 1 to either a 1/4" NPT or 1/4" Male Inverter Flare. If you have the former I recommend part # 100473-12 or part # 37207-30715 if you have the latter. That said, I get why you're confused as these fittings don't actually mic out to 1/4", they will measure larger but that does not correlate to their nominal size which would be the same for measuring any sort of NPT fitting.
