GasStop ACME vs POL Graphic

Notes:

  • This valve is only meant to be used on travel trailers and fifth wheels that have the ACME connection fitting. Please see the graphic above to double check what type of valve you need.
  • Adapter fitting (sold separately) may be required to connect your hose to your propane system's regulator.

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 valve immediately and completely shuts off your gas supply when it detects either a major leak in your 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 this safety valve will shut off for major leaks such as a large break in the hose, it 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.


GasGear Rubber Hose has a 90-Degree Fitting


GasStop Rubber Hose

If your propane setup is in a particularly small or cramped compartment, the 90-degree ACME connection on this GasGear rubber hose makes it quick and easy to hook up to your tank. This helps prevent the hose from bunching and puts less strain on it, which means it'll last longer. And you can put a cover over your propane tank without the hose snagging the fabric or stop it from fitting over the tank altogether.


Using the Pressure Gauge to Test for Minor Leaks


GasStop Safety Valve Testing for Minor Leaks

The integrated pressure gauge provides 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 tank 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 gauge is also rotatable, so it can be used from any angle, though it is recommended to keep it no lower than 45 degrees from the sky.


The gauge can also be used to test for minor leaks. Once the GasStop safety valve has been installed and the gas appliances have been turned off, push down on the gauge 4 to 6 times to see what the gas pressure is. If the needle is below the red bar on the gauge, then one or more of the following is the cause: the cylinder valve isn't open, the GasStop safety valve has shut off, you have run out of gas, you haven't pushed the gauge the appropriate number of times, or the temperature is around freezing.


If the needle is above the red bar, note its exact position before turning off the valve on your propane tank. Wait 60 seconds for standard applications and 5 minutes for longer RV gas systems. If the needle is in the same position, you can continue to use your propane system. If the needle dropped during that time, there is a leak somewhere. You shouldn't use your propane system until that leak has been found and repaired.


Installing the Safety Valve


GasStop Safety Valve Installation

This GasStop safety valve is extremely simple to install. Once your propane system and all of your gas appliances have been shut off, tighten the GasStop safety valve onto your propane tank. Then re-attach your regulator and install the hose before checking for any leaks in your propane system. To allow the gas to flow, push down on the gauge face 4-6 times.

Video Transcript for Review of GasStop Propane Fittings - Emergency Shut-Off Valve with 18" Hose - GS87FR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this GasStop emergency propane shutoff valve and gauge and the 18 inch long hose. So this is gonna help protect your family against major propane leaks and regulator failure. This device will turn off the gas supply immediately if it detects either a major leak or a failure. And when I say a major leak, that's really anything above the normal use so it's not going to turn off your gas supply if you we're to turn on a new appliance that's got propane flowing to it, it's more beyond the normal supply, it will then shut it off. So unlike your other safety devices that are built into your propane tanks and your hoses that will turn off a majority of your propane supply, it still allows a little bit of trickle of propane to go through, which can be obviously very dangerous if you have flames or something like that.

So this system is going to cut off 100% of that flow so you don't have to worry about any propane getting out if it does detect a leak. And then if you are sure that you've fixed the leak, everything's fine, you can very easily reset it just by pushing down on that four to six times and that will reset the system and allow propane to flow through again. So this does have this Type 1 ACME fitting that's gonna be compatible with your travel trailers and 5th wheels. There is a different design for your Class A and Class C motor homes that uses a POL connection, so you wanna make sure you're getting the right one for your setup. This is designed for your travel trailers and 5th wheels only.

It does have this brass construction with a brass and polycarbonate construction and that is gonna be corrosion resistant, will last you nice long time. It's very easy to get installed. You've got that ACME fitting that will tighten down for you and then you can very easily hook up your hose like that. It is gonna add about three inches, call it 3 1/8 of an inch for you onto your system. So will take up a little bit more room, but that's where this 90 degree angle in our hose is gonna come in handy.

So if you are working in a tight space where it's kind of cramped, this is going to save you some room rather than having a hose that has to make a big loop out and around. So this will allow you to still use your cover for your propane tanks without having to worry about the hose snagging on them. The hose is an 18 inch long rubber pigtail hose. It's gonna have a 200,000 BTU maximum flow capacity and a 250 psi maximum pressure. It's got the ACME fitting on the one end and then the other end has a 1/4 male inverted flare that will fit into your regulator, so you can very easily make that connection.

I do want to point out on the top of our pressure gauge we do have, or the valve, we do have this gauge that's going to very easily let you see what's going on in your tank. So whether you have high pressure, sufficient gas, or if you're nearing empty, you can very easily see that there. And it does rotate so you can view it from whatever angle is most convenient for you and so gives you a good idea of where your tanks are at, make sure that you're not gonna be empty when you're going out on your trip. These are both UL and CSA approved, so you can trust they are gonna be a good quality. They're gonna do what you need 'em to do and it's gonna give you a lot of peace of mind knowing that this will shut off 100% of that flow if there we're to be a leak, so you don't have to worry about it while you're resting. That completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

  • Is The GasStop Emergency Propane Shut-Off Available With A Longer Hose?
    The GasStop # GS87FR comes with an 18" hose and this is actually the longest hose they offer in this setup. What you can do instead is use the GasStop Emergency Propane Shut-Off Valve Gauge - POL Connection # GS84FR, and then get a longer hose separately. As far as hoses that will work with the GasStop and have a 1/4" male inverted flare, we have two lengths available: 5 feet long # 100019-60 12 feet long # 100019-144 The only downside of doing it this way is the pigtail hose will not...
