Notes:
You're headed to the next campsite, and in the chaos of packing up, you forgot to turn off your propane system. While on the road, someone rear ends you, causing a propane line to come loose, and you now run the risk of a fire breaking out on your RV. It's a dreaded situation that no one wants to suffer through.
Unlike EFVs and other built-in limiters that just reduce the flow of gas, GasStop shut-off safety valves immediately and completely shut off your gas supply when they detect either a major leak in your dual-tank propane system or major failure of your regulator. This protects both your family and your travel trailer or fifth wheel, ensuring that your camping trip remains safe, fun, and worry-free. And while these safety valves will shut off for major leaks such as a large break in a hose, they won't shut off for small leaks that result from your regulator's small housing failure or clogged chambers. This means that your furnace or heater won't go out in the middle of the night while camping in the frigid mountains over a small, less dangerous leak.
For you dual-tank propane system, this changeover regulator will automatically redirect the gas flow from the empty tank to the full one. This will eliminate any interruptions in the flow to prevent your water heater from shutting off on a cold morning or your stove shutting off when you're in the middle of cooking dinner. The color-coded indicator will change from green to red, alerting you that the tank needs to be refilled.
And when you add safety valves to both tanks, you'll still be protected from gas leaks even if one tank empties in the middle of the night and the regulator kicks over to the other tank. You won't have to manually move the valves over to the other tank in the morning as you would if you had just 1 valve.
If your dual-tank propane setup is in a particularly small or cramped compartment, the 90-degree ACME connections on these hoses make it quick and easy to hook up to your tanks. This helps prevent the hoses from bunching and puts less strain on them, which means they'll last longer. And you can put a cover over your propane tanks without the hoses snagging the fabric or stop it from fitting over the tanks altogether.
The braided stainless steel hoses won't crack or tear as easily as traditional rubber hoses, which get stiff after a period of time due to daily wear and tear. The hoses are also corrosion-resistant, so they can withstand the elements much better than rubber hoses.
The integrated pressure gauges provide a clear and easy way to tell what your propane tanks' gas pressure is while the gas is being used. If it's on "high", there's been an increase in gas pressure, most likely due to excessive heat, and you'll have to cool the tanks down. If it's on "gas", then you'll know you still have plenty of usable gas left. And if it's on "low", then it's time to switch out your tanks. The gauges are also rotatable, so they can be used from any angle, though it is recommended to keep them no lower than 45 degrees from the sky.
The gauges can also be used to test for minor leaks. Once the GasStop safety valves has been installed and the gas appliances have been turned off, push down on the gauges 4 to 6 times to see what the gas pressure is. If the needles are below the red bar on the gauges, then one or more of the following is the cause: the cylinder valves aren't open, the GasStop safety valves have shut off, you have run out of gas, you haven't pushed the gauges the appropriate number of times, or the temperature is around freezing.
If the needles are above the red bar, note the exact position before turning off the valves on your propane tanks. Wait 60 seconds for standard applications and 5 minutes for longer RV gas systems. If the needles are in the same position, you can continue to use your propane system. If the needles dropped during that time, there is a leak somewhere. You shouldn't use your propane system until that leak has been found and repaired.
These GasStop safety valves are extremely simple to install. Once your tank-propane system and all of your gas appliances have been shut off, tighten the GasStop safety valves onto your propane tanks. The re-attached your regulator and install the hoses before checking for any leaks in your propane system. To allow the gas to flow, push down on the gauge faces 4-6 times.

2 Shut-off valves immediately shut off your gas supply if a major leak is detected. Changeover regulator automatically redirects the gas flow from an empty tank to a full tank. Stainless steel hoses have 90-degree fittings for small, compact areas.The propane gauge set has worked perfectly over the past year. No issues. And it cured the water heater problem that I had for years before using this part. I’ve always been happy with Etrailer supplies and parts.
6 months after purchase, the regulator is leaking from the vent. We don't have propane until it is replaced.
This has worked wonderfully for us, I have the confidence to know it will shut off the gas if there is an issue. It was very easy to install and other than having take the tanks out to have them filled it has been fantastic. I guess there is nothing you can do about using the gas though.
I wish this design had a better way to mount. I ended up having to zip tie it on, as it really didn't have a good mounting option. I would be happy to fashion something for my specific application, but it doesn't have good mounting holes.
Excellent shipping! Product quality is good. I replaced a stock regulator and hoses with this package. The automatic changeover works great and the braided lines are much better than the stock rubber hoses. The only complaint is that the pressure gauges are a bit cheap but still functional.
Easy to install and makes system safer in event of problems.
