Pigtail makes the connection from the propane tanks on your trailer to the propane regulator. Also used to connect tanks to a high-pressure regulator to carry gas to a 2-stage regulator. Check valve prevents hazardous backflow leakage.
Features:
- Propane pigtail connects your propane cylinder to a regulator
- Used for single or dual tank setups on the front of your travel trailer
- Also used to connect a remote tank to a high-pressure regulator
- Female Type 1 fitting connects to the valve on your propane cylinder
- Male NPT connects to a propane regulator
- Built-in bypass mode shuts gas off when flow reaches maximum capacity for safety
- Thermal shut-off device turns off gas flow in extreme heat caused by open flame
- Excess-flow safety device limits gas flow in the event of a severe leak
- Durable thermoplastic hose and brass fittings approved for LP gas only
- Rated for high pressure and high flow rate to handle unregulated propane
- UL569 and ANSI Z21-81 certified
- Made in the USA
Specs:
- Temperature range: -40 F to 140 F
- Hose dimensions: 15" long x 1/4" inner diameter
- Hose fittings:
- Female Type 1
- 1/4" Male NPT
- Maximum pressure rating: 350 psi
- Maximum flow capacity: 450,000 Btu per hour
- 1-Year limited warranty
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.

It fits, and it doesn't leak. Replaced a pair that were showing cracking in the outer layer of rubber. What else can you ask for?
by: John07/31/2022
These items were supposed to be compatible for my RV but the regulator inlets did not match the propane lines. I made a few trips around town to try to find adaptors, but I finally had to put my old regulator back on. Frustrating.

FIVE STARS!!
This pigtail propane hose was delivered very quickly...and the price and quality is awesome. I was camping with my grandchildren a month ago and called an RV center when I discovered I could not use my propane stove because the onboard hose had a leak in it. Local RV center wanted $30 for the same product.
I'm very happy to have found what I was looking for at etrailer. NOt my first order with them and won't be my last.

This item is extremely important on an RV and is often overlooked! Even a small propane leak can be dangerous. It can even build up inside the propane tank cover. When I used my gas leak detector and found a leak in the tank area, I was surprised that it wasn’t due to a loose connection but was due to small cracks in the hoses. Even hoses that are protected under the cover and only 4 or 5 years old, they need to be checked thoroughly and replaced. Not only does this product incorporate safety features, but they are also made in the USA!
by: Jeffrey02/21/2023
So far so good, hasn't leaked yet. As we all know these propane pigtails are prone to leaking over time, but I think this brand is going to be of decent quality and hold up quite well.

Worked good.
by: Lisa09/28/2021
I once again got the wrong hoses…as a matter of fact I got 2 more just like the last 2 that are wrong
I did call Paula and left a message that they were wrong and haven’t heard back yet
I’m not mad, just amazed that I have now gotten 2 orders and they were both wrong

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our customer service team should be reaching out to you in the near future.
by: Mike01/25/2018
One of the original pigtails was leaking at the tank connection after only 6 months. I decided to replace both of them. They were 12" long and I felt too much strain was placed on the fitting, so I opted for these 15" ones. I'm very happy with the quality of the connections and the flexibility of the hose.
by: Glenn01/13/2018
I loved the handwheel on this hose. It threaded easily and seated with little effort.
However on the first tank change, the super stiff hose spun on the barb fitting and started leaking around the crimp right away, just like every other hose.
I wish somebody would make a flexible hose that didn't leak at the crimp.
by: Bob 06/30/2021
Product was what I expected. The only issue I had was with the Etrailer Price Pledge.Took numerous emails and phone calls to get it straightened out.

Great I like the fact that the hose has a built in back check valve.

Great direct replacement for a leaking hose very easy to i stall.
by: Glenn06/17/2018
I bought this to replace a pigtail on a 2 year old travel trailer that had a slow leak in the swedge next to the tank connection. The factory pigtail was ridgid, soft copper bent easier . This pigtail is very flexible and of course does not leak . I will be buying another to replace the other pigtail even though it does not leak at this time.
by: Vanessa 08/12/2022
Works like a dream. Perfect replacement on my 2018 Keystone Springdale travel trailer.

Glad I found e-trailer. These lines were just what I needed to replace old cracked lines. I hadn't been able to find the proper length and fittings anywhere else.

Product was delivered quickly and as described. The etrailer website and team are great. Solid information, easily found.

I needed a longer propane hose as I purchased propane tank gauges. These longer hoses were exactly what I needed.
by: Dwight11/04/2018
The propane hoses have been great. No leaks and hold up to the sun 24x7
by: Brian N09/12/2017
Very happy with the products I've received. As good as you can get before going high dollar. The company response is awesome with easy ordering and billing. The only shortfall I've found was a delay in shipping due to back order of one item, with no notification to me. My inquiry into this was met with prompt response and service. Thank you.
by: Dan 08/24/2018
This was exactly what i needed and saved me from having to buy a new crab pot cooker. Very happy a year later. All parts are still in great condition and working as advertised.
by: Stacey03/01/2022
It’s a propane line. It worked without leaks so… it works!

It worked well. However, I sold my RV and moved to an apartment. But I did leave the spare with the buyer and gave him your website.

- Length of MB Sturgis # 100473-15-MBS Propane HoseI had specific measurements taken on the # 100473-15-MBS hose for you. Overall from end to end it's 15-1/2 inches long. The rubber portion is 11-1/2 inches and it's 14-1/4 inches from the outlet end to the end of the hose where it connects to the ACME nut.

- Should Pipe Sealant be Used When Installation Propane Tank 1/4 MPT Pigtail Yes you should use some kind of sealant on threaded fittings whether it is the tape or pipe dope. Using the white Teflon tape will work well on installing the propane pigtail top the LP regulator. Just wrap the tape on the threads only.

view full answer... - Pigtail Replacement for 2009 Jayco Jay/flight G2TTIt appears the part number you have listed may be a Marshal brand, we do not carry this brand but do have high quality components available from MB Sturgis. The length of hose needed, thread size and type are required to ensure a proper fit for replacement. We have the MB Sturgis, # 100473-12, a 12" hose with the needed Type 1 - Male on one end of the pig tail and a 1/4 Inch - Male NPT on the other. See the attached product review video. We also have the same hose but in a 15" length...
view full answer... - Availability of 15 inch Long Propane Tank Pig TailsI understand what you are saying and I think you are on the right track. A bit more length from the pig tail would allow the rubber line to be able to loop so that it could tuck down better. We have 15 inch pig tails like part # 100473-15-MBS or even 2 foot long sections like part # 100473-24-MBS.

- Propane Regulator for MB Sturgis 100473 Propane HoseYes, you can use the MB Sturgis 100473 hose with a replacement single-stage regulator, which is what it looks like you need based on your photo. For the regulator you will need the Camco Single Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59013. Then for the 100473 hose you can choose the one you need based on the length: - 12 inches: MB Sturgis Propane Hose - RV Type 1 with Back Check x 1/4" MPT # 100473-12 - 15 inches: MB Sturgis Propane Hose - RV Type 1 with Back Check x 1/4" MPT # 100473-15-MBS -...

- Can Type 1 Propane Connector be Used for Propane Tank with Threads on OutsideThank you for the photo! Since your propane tank has the threads on the outside and inside it means that you can use a pigtail with either the POL or Type 1 connection like you're asking about. Swapping over to the Type 1 is a great idea just because it's easier to twist on plus you don't have to mess with any kind of sealant. If your regulator has the adapter on it then I recommend using the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail - Stainless Overbraid - Type 1 x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 15" # 100833-15...

- Selecting Pigtail Hose for Maximum Flow Capacity I agree that you would be fine with either the MB Sturgis, # 100473-15-MBS or the, # 100575-12 based on your stated usage. I suggest selecting the maximum flow capacity of the # 100575-12-MBS.
view full answer... - Propane Hose Replacements for RegulatorWe do have hoses which may work for you. The MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail # 100833-24 is a type 1 cylinder connection with a 1/4" male inverted flare. This is a 2 foot hose, though we also have a 15" hose # 100833-15 and 1 foot hose # 100575-12-MBS. These hoses are also available with back check, the 20" # 100473-20-MBS, 15" # 100473-15-MBS and 12" # 100473-12. I've added links to review videos of each of these products for you to take a look at.

- 15" Hose For 100 lb Propane Tank With POL Fitting & 1/4" Male NPT FittingWe do have an option for you, though the # 100473-15-MBS has a Type 1 fitting one one end and 1/4" Male NPT fitting on the other; the Type 1 fitting does not connect to a 100 lb propane tank, as those tanks have a POL fitting. Though there are no tanks with a Male POL fitting and 1/4" Male NPT fitting, you can use an adapter to get exactly what you need, with the correct parts being the following: - MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hose - POL Pigtail x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 15"...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Propane Regulator That Only Works on One SideStart off by checking your pigtail. If you change your switch so that it is turned towards the side that isn't working and then swap your pigtails as well this will tell you if you need to simply replace a pigtail or if your have a bad regulator. If you find that it works when you swap the pigtail as well then you just need to replace your pigtail. If your regulator has the gold fittings on it where the pigtail attaches then you need part # 100575-12-MBS. Otherwise you would need part...
view full answer... - Propane Hose with 1/4" Male Fitting Does Not Fit Regulator with 1/4" Female FittingFrom the picture that you attached it looks like the regulator has a 1/4" SAE inverted flare, like the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59005 does. This means that only hoses that have the 1/4" male inverted flare, like part # CAM59053, will fit. Since the MB Sturgis Propane Hose w/ Back Check # 100473-15-MBS that you purchased does not have the inverted flare you will simply need to remove the fitting that is currently on your regulator and install the Sturgis...

If you'd prefer braided steel hose for durability, use part # 100833-24 for a 2 foot length or # 100833-36 for a 3 foot length.
