This is what happened...a shredded tire on the travel trailer ripped a gas connector from my unit. The MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Connector - 1/4" FPT was a perfect replacement that has worked great.
Comments
Solid, thats why I use etrailer!
Lamar - 05/21/2022by: Christopher07/16/2019
This is about the fifth time I've ordered from etrailer and I've never been disappointed.
I ordered a lp gas quick disconnect for my outdoor stove this time, it arrived ahead of time, was exactly as described ( and just what I needed) and at an reasonable price.
etrailer's customer service is outstanding, their very helpful and eager to please.
Thanks for the great service once again.
Comments
I used this product to create a connector hose to allow me to use my low pressure stove with a 5 gallon propane tank at my home for picnics, canning etc. its working out perfectly. Thanks again etrsiler!
Christopher - 07/17/2020by: Christopher05/17/2022
I use use them once a week on my home coffee roasting setup and daily in the spring on my maple boiling setup. Great quality and tolerances. easy to use. Always a good mate.

etrailer consistently pleases me with quality products, service and great pricing. I recommend etrailer to my friends and to random people on the internet.
by: Alan 05/25/2020
Handy fitting to get a high pressure line off the propane cylinder without disconnecting it.
Comments
After 1 year still working well. I use it regularly most every trip.
Alan - 05/27/2021by: L Hunt12/27/2016
The 1/4" Ball Valve Quick Connect x FPT - 104052 MBS is a high quality valve with a S.S. ball and positive shut off, The valve action is very smooth. The valve handle when open will not let the quick connect sleeve move back and disconnect the LP hose. Many valve of this type do not have a dust cap, a dust cap on this valve in the location that is being used is very important.
Comments
The 104052-MBS is used regularly and works wonderfully. All of the products that we have purchased from etrailer are of great. We are very happy with your company. Thank you Larry

Installed on LP regulator w/hose to allow RV Bar BQ use at home. Exact fit for my low pressure LP Bar BQ quick disconnect.
Comments
Great as expected. Best is buying the male and female parts from the same manufacturer as they always match and your project is successful.
James M - 06/16/2019by: Billy05/21/2021
The item in question was a known quantity, a familiar item from a familiar manufacturer, and I am happy with it.
I am writing to recommend etrailer.com as an excellent vendor with good prices, fast turnaround, a good customer service team, and no nonsense.
by: Bruce07/09/2019
I bought this to use to hook up my Weber grill to the propane port on my motorhome. Seems to be very good quality. Chose this one because it is made in the USA.
Comments
Still working as it should, no problems
Bruce - 07/10/2020by: Steve J02/18/2020
Simple update to the gas-line that already existed under my Toy Hauler.
Now I can hook up my 3-burner gas stove or my mini BBQ without having to verify that I have a LP tank filled and ready to go. I simply just use the LP tanks on the trailer instead.

Quickly connect camper gas line to an outside grill. Works great

PARTS COME IN A TIMELY MANNER
by: Jim M07/20/2018
Purchased before and it works great. Safety feature is simple enough and works well. As long as you buy MB Sturgis quick disconnect parts, they fit perfectly.
Comments
Still doing the job without problems. Bar BQ is used at home as well as camping. Reliability is found in keeping the mating equipment by the same manufacturer and making sure the products are of high quality.
Jim M - 07/20/2019by: Cynthia 12/21/2021
Quality product
Fabulous customer service !
by: Roger03/13/2020
Looks like it will do the job of connecting to my gas grill and then either to my house propane supply or to a 20 lb. propane bottle via some female 1/4 quick disconnects and some assorted fittings.
by: Jill03/10/2017
I have ordered from etrailer.com 3 times and have been extremely pleased each and every time. The orders are filled and delivered in a very timely manner. I have been more than satisfied with the products that i have received.

Outstanding service and delivery. Part was put right away and works like a champ!

I am installing a 3-way refrigerator in my camper conversion. When safety is a prime concern, people need the proper items to ensure that safety. etrailer has those items and at a price that anyone can afford.
by: Ryan E10/14/2017
Needed a way to have a quick disconnect inside my home so I could move a 30,000 bent free space heater from basement to garage but could not find anything at any stores that would work. So I purchased a hose and two of these and hooked them to 1/4 black pipe connector and works great.
by: Eddie 01/05/2022
The part was as advertised and arrived in a timely manner.
by: Gary11/21/2018
Put on camper,I don’t have to crawl under camper to turn on gas for grill and flat top grill. Did the job great.
by: Robert02/23/2021
The quality is great and the function is just as good. Mounted these on my off-road trailer and they have held up to the elements.
by: John 08/07/2020

See what our Experts say about this MB Sturgis Propane Fittings
- What is the Flow Capacity of the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Connector # 104052-MBSThe MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Connector # 104052-MBS is meant to be used for LP (low pressure) or natural gas tanks. It has a max flow capacity of 40,000 Btu per hour for LP gas and 14,000 Btu per hour for natural gas. Without a regulator your 25 gallon propane bottle should be putting out more than that so you will need a regulator before this connection.
view full answer... - What Is the Length Of the MB Sturgis Quick-Disconnect Propane Connector?I went out to our warehouse and measured the MB Sturgis Quick-Disconnect Propane Connector # 104052-MBS like you asked, and got 2-3/4" for an overall length. This connector also has a 40,000-Btu per hour maximum flow capacity for LP propane, 14,000-Btu per hour flow capacity for natural gas, and has a temperature range of -40°F to 350°F. I've also attached a diagram showing this measurement for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Female Propane Quick Disconnect Port on TrailerIn order to replace the propane quick disconnect fittings I recommend the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Kit for Low Pressure Appliances part # 104052-401132 which comes with both male and female but we do offer just the female as the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Connector part # 104052-MBS. Please note, quick disconnect fittings wear out over time and become more difficult to use so replacement is best but I can't recommend any sort of grease.
view full answer... - Are Male and Female Quick Disconnect Propane Fittings Sold TogetherThe male quick disconnect fitting that mates with part # 104052-MBS is part # 401132-MBS. They can be purchased together using part # 104052-401132.
view full answer... - Quick-Disconnect Propane Fitting with a Male 3/8" Inverted FlareI do have an option for you but the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Connector part # 104052-MBS is not offered with a male 3/8" inverted flare model 250 quick-disconnect fitting. We do have the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Adapter part # 401132-MBS which has a male 1/4" NPT model 250 quick-disconnect fitting but you would need to use an adapter to convert the male 1/4" NPT to a male 3/8" inverted flare which we do not have.

They both have matching quick disconnect fittings. These fittings can be somewhat stubborn though. Especially if the pressure in the lines is high. Make sure you are pulling all the way back on the sleeve of the female side and that the male side is going all the way in and...
view full answer... - Recommended Propane Hoses and Adapters for 2005 Thor Wanderer Toy HaulerThe MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose for Small Appliance - Disposable Cylinder Port - 6' # 100476-72-MBS is a great hose to have for your gas grill so you don't need to deplete the propane supply of your trailer tanks. For your gas line, you will want the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Connector - 1/4" FPT # 104052-MBS but you would need to find the adapter to 1/4 inch at a local home improvement store.

- Comparing Gas Volume and BTU Specs for Propane Quick Disconnects 104052-MBS and CAM59853The Camco Quick-Connect Kit for Low Pressure Propane Systems # CAM59853 has the same fittings and dimensions as the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect # 104052-MBS so it will pass an identical volume of propane (40-standard cubic feet per hour) and deliver the same 40,000 BTUs.

You can find the exact costs on the product page and include shipping cost in the shopping cart.
view full answer... - Quick Disconnect Gas Fitting To Connect Turkey Fryer to RVThank you for sending these additional pictures. It appears that the hose with fittings, that you have, are designed to connect directly to a 20 pound propane tank. Therefore, on one end you have a large Type-1 connector to attach direcly to the 20 pound tank, then it goes through a propane regulator, then through a length of hose and on the other end is a swivel connector of some size, then into a reducer bushing, then into (what looks like) a tiny carberator jet. So, first, your RV...
view full answer... - How to Adapt From 1/4 inch Inverted Flare to Quick Disconnect PropaneHere's what you need to do. On the 4 port adapter there is a very small plug with the tether on it going into a larger adapter with the other end of the tether on it that goes directly into the barrel of the 4 port adapter. Remove the small plug, then use a 5/8" socket to remove the 1/4" NPT fitting that is directly into the barrel of the 4 port adapter. Then all you need to do is use a standard 1/4" NPT nipple of whatever length you require to go directly into the 4 port adapter with...

It sounds like you also want the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Adapter Fitting - Male Model 250 x 1/4" MPT # 401132-MBS to attach to your grill.

Since you will be supplying the 3/4 inch pipe, I recommend using the MB Sturgis RV Quick-Connect Propane Grill Hose - 120" Long # 100304-120-MBS which will connect to the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Connector - 1/4" FPT # 104052-MBS which in turn connects to the POL # 204051-MBS for your tank.

If you have 3/8 inch connections, the only option we have for your specific fit is to use multiple hoses.
