MB Sturgis RV Type 1 Connection
Compared with other Type 1 connectors, this dark green MB Sturgis Type 1 connector provides the highest flow rate possible before going into bypass mode. As a result, this pigtail will help to ensure that your propane setup will be able to power all of your appliances, even if they require high-pressure gas.
Type 1 connectors go into bypass mode if the flow rate surpasses the maximum flow capacity for that connector. When maximum capacity is reached, the flow of gas through the fitting will be completely shut off. The maximum flow capacity for this dark green Type 1 connector is 200 SCFH. When the gas in the system reaches this level, 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.
This MB Sturgis dark green Type 1 connector not only provides a higher flow rate compared to cylinder connectors of different colors, but it also offers a higher rate when compared with dark green cylinder connectors from other manufacturers. The MB Sturgis dark green Type 1 has been tested to ensure that it hits a maximum of 200 SCFH every time.

Pigtail hose connects your dual LP gas cylinder setup to the regulator on your camper. Internal back-check prevents gas leaks. Braided stainless steel protects the thermoplastic hose from damage.My pigtails are only a year old but I was changing out a tank and heard hissing. When I put everything back together it was fine. No way I wasn't going to replace but wanted an upgrade. These pigtails appear to be better made and installation took minutes. Time will tell.
Jury is out on how long this will last but it looks like it's very well made and my expectations are high. It's installed in the propane locker of a 32 foot sailboat.

Worked great. High quality. Upgrade over the original that came with the trailer. eTrailer is awesome also.
Used these to replace the original pigtails on my TT due to one leaking just before pulling out for a trip. These were a direct fit and easy install. Greater peace of mind with with propane system now.
My old propane pigtails on my pop-up camper had become old and brittle plus I thought it was about time to replace the old P.O.L. fittings with the newer, much easier to use Type 1 Acme fittings. I chose the MB Sturgis pigtail since it is "assembled in the USA" and looked like a quality item. I decided to spend a few extra bucks on the stainless overbraid for added protection. These hoses arrived quickly, installed easily and worked fine. I'm sure they will last for many years.
Propane hoses were about 7 yrs old and were leaking,this was an easy fix thanks to ETRAILER Fast delivery and easy installation just make sure you order the right fittings to accommodate the valve on your trailer.
Me and my family leave in our camper full time. What I have found out is they, make these campers cheap. So I like to buy things that I can put on my camper that is American made and is great on the camper. These Gas lines are great and I wish they would put this on all campers. etrailer is a place for our family and camper to get things done right. I’m glade a friend told me about etrailer. Plus got my stuff mail in 2 day early. Thank you etrailer and Gid Bless this Business!
I had two of these fail in about 4 months of use. Would not recommend. I spent extra money on these thinking they would last. Not worth the money. I don't know where all the good reviews came from.
Very nice upgrade from the standard type hose. Well made by Sturgis in USA
AS o - 12/09/2019We purchased this pigtail in conjunction with a MB Sturgis regulator. Both are rated for higher flow than the regulator/pigtails installed on our Nash trailer. We had been having problems in the late fall/early winter with the factory installed regulator locking our propane tank out when the furnace and refrigerator were on. So far the MB Sturgis combination has worked well and we don't have the middle of the night panic when the heat goes off at 0F but we still have full tanks of propane. We also like the stainless over-braid on the pigtail. Less likely to kink or abrade.
James C - 09/05/2019Order arrived quickly, easy installation thank you very much. I will be back when I need parts, thanks again for the service.
The pigtails on my propane tanks were the originals (10 yrs old) and finally sprung a very small leak. It was time for replacement and research showed me the Sturgis stainless sheathed one's were about the best money can buy. I was impressed with all the features built in...….especially the safety features. Also the price was right. I have ordered from etrailer in the past and I am still very happy with the turnaround time to receive my orders......not to forget the super friendly and efficient staff. You folks have an intimate knowledge of all your products which serves the customer well. Keep up the good work !!
Allen - 05/22/2020Perfect fit. I like the stainless braid. The ones I replaced had cracked and were hissing.
Excellent quality made in America product at a very fair price and etrailer shipped it right out! 5*
Prompt delivery. Items in great condition. Although item 100833-12 had the wrong end fitting on it for an RV propane hook-up, not the same as existing one. Had go to RV dealer 15 miles away get 1/4" Inverted Flare × 1/4" MPT fittings for each hose to make them fit. $4.95 for the pair. Product description didn't reveal this discrepancy. Now all is well, "I'm a Happy Camper" no propane leaks.
Victoria B - 08/21/2019They were a great replacement for the old lines which had cracked from age. Great prices and very dependable service. Delivery was expected.
Was able to find what I needed on the website search bar. Ordering was a breeze, shipping was good. Was so glad to see the product was made in the USA. Thank you!
Easy to install. Did a leak check and no leaks. Hooray! Hope it last longer than the rubber hose I replaced. It only lasted a year.
My inlet regulator size is 3/8” not the standard 1/4” size. Most companies, including etrailer, do not have a 3/8” inverted male flare that is 12” long. A 3/8” male X 1/4” female flare adapter was needed to connect to the 1/4” pigtail.
It is always a pleasure working with etrailer.
Braided hose fit like original without any problems accommodating the required bend. Just installed so only four stars at this time. Am hoping for longer live than OEM. Original was five years old and US made by Fairview. Outer rubber was cracked and started leaking. Always had hard plastic cover on tanks except when changing.
Perfect description made ordering easy. The pigtails came on time and we’re easy to install. The best part? They didn’t leak.
They worked on excellent. I ordered the first pair too short came to a friend that used them. Now my propane lines are nice and flexible and easy gets a tanks in and out. If these ever got hard like the original ones dead I would buy them again.
These propane pigtails are exactly what I've been searching for. Made in the USA was plus. I didn't want to trust the "cheaper" offshore brands for our trailer. Many of them have the black knobs, which aren't appropriate for anything but a BBQ grill.
They were priced right, and arrived when they were suppose to.
I'm using them to replace the original pigtails that came on our trailer. I chose the stainless braid in case critters decide to try them for lunch. It'll deter them from ruining a perfectly good camping trip. The old ones will become spares, in case someone else needs them to save their trip. Thank you, etrailer.
James D - 07/17/2020Perfect, No Leaks, Great product, Easy install, Fast shipping, Great seller, Thank you
Appears to be an excellent product. Just installed today. Very flexible for tight bends.
