Your high-demand RV propane equipment needs enough fuel to operate properly. If a standard pigtail restricts that flow, this 400,000 Btu/hr hose connects your cylinder to the regulator without becoming the bottleneck.
You've installed high-demand propane equipment, but the pigtail feeding the regulator can still become the restriction. If it doesn't support the flow your system requires, your equipment isn't getting the propane supply it needs. This high-flow pigtail supports up to 400,000 Btu/hr between the cylinder and regulator, so the hose doesn't become the bottleneck in a compatible high-demand system.
If something fails downstream and propane begins flowing faster than it normally would, you're dealing with an uncontrolled release of flammable gas. The built-in excess-flow feature restricts that flow. If fire exposes the cylinder connection to extreme heat, the built-in thermal link adds another layer of protection.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Marshall Excelsior Company high-flow propane pigtail hose. So this pigtail hose is the connection between an RV propane cylinder and your regulator. And what makes this one different from a typical pigtail is that it has a higher flow capacity. This can support up to 400,000 BTU per hour.
So it's designed for RV propane systems with higher fuel demands where a standard pigtail could potentially become a restriction. So this is going to be about 20 inches long and this is a high-pressure thermoplastic hose with a quarter of an inch inside diameter and a working pressure of 350 PSIG. On the propane tank side, you have this female type 1 QCC Acme connection. And on the regulator side, there is a quarter of an inch male NPT fitting. So the regulator will need a compatible quarter of an inch female NPT inlet.
One of the main reasons to consider this hose is if you have higher-demand propane equipment and you need to make sure that the pigtail isn't limiting the amount of propane reaching the regulator. This is going to provide up to 400,000 BT per hour of flow, as I mentioned, between the cylinder and the regulator. There's also a couple of built-in safety features worth knowing about. The excess flow protection is designed to restrict propane flow if something downstream fails and causes an abnormally high amount of propane to escape. And there's also a thermal link at the cylinder connection.
That's going to help provide an additional safeguard if that connection is exposed to extreme heat or fire. As you probably saw, this hose does use brass ferrules, but it's a well-constructed, high-quality hose. And I think that's going to wrap up our quick look today. Again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
