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.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail Hose. This is used to connect a dual LP cylinder system to a 2-stage regulator. It's going to feature the RV Type 1 connector on this end. On the other end is a 1/4" male inverted flare. The Type 1 provides a higher rate of flow resulting in a decreased potential for the system to go into bypass mode and therefore shutting down the gas supply to the system. The assembly's going to measure 36" long, nice thermo-plastic construction is strong, durable and flexible.
The Type 1 includes an internal back-check to ensure that the system does not allow a back-flow gas leak. It also features a heat sensitive thermal shut off device to shut off the gas in extreme heat situations. The inner diameter of the hose is 1/4". When it comes to certification it's UL, ANSI and CSA certified. It's designed for LP gas only, that's liquid propane, and this assembly is going to feature a temperature range -40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and the maximum flow capacity is 200,000 BTUs per hour.
That's going to do it for today's look at the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail Hose.
