Pigtail makes the connection from the propane tanks on your trailer to the propane regulator on your trailer. Check valve prevents hazardous backflow leakage and is suitable for dual-tank setups.

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.

Pigtail makes the connection from the propane tanks on your trailer to the propane regulator on your trailer. Check valve prevents hazardous backflow leakage and is suitable for dual-tank setups.I have replaced my hoses several times and they repeatedly have gotten hard, then leak at the fittings. The "rubber" compound in these hoses appears to be better quality than what I have previously found. Time will tell.
Worked fine adapting a 25 lb propane bottle to my space heater!
excellent customer service ....arrived earlier than expected.... installation a snap
These hoses replaced some 15 year old hoses that had become very hard and stiff. Very flexible and good quality fittings. 12" length fit camper twin tanks perfectly. Hoses had been backordered for about 2 months but etrailer customer support kept me updated frequently on order status. Very pleased with order.
Product was as described.
I installed two pigtails and a new regulator in less than 15 minutes. Everything went smoothly and tested well. I appreciate the expert advice. These have the BTU throughput I need.
Just what I needed
Easy do-it-yourself fix with simple hand tools. My OE hoses were only two years old, cracking and one was leaking. These are made in USA.
Perfect replacement/upgrade to the OEM gas connections on my Dutchman Camper. The South Alabama heat is brutal on exposed gas lines - one even blew out. At this price, I went ahead and replaced both. Fast shipping. Will definitely buy from etrailer.com again.

After a year in the Alabama sun, still no leaks.
This was exactly what I needed. I have since traded in that trailer but I will be ordering from you again.
These M. B. Sturgis (Sturgisafe) brand LPG hoses appear to be extremely well made - much better than original equipment supplied with my RV. Hose material is very flexible, fittings are of high quality and carefully attached. Installed in minutes with NO Leaks - AND they are made in USA. This is my 7th transaction with etrailer and like on all previous purchases I found the website well designed with a quality product selection. The purchase procedure was fast and efficient and the product arrived well packaged, in good condition and in a reasonable time frame. I am totally satisfied with both product and seller.

M.B. Sturgis LPG hoses are performing as designed. No cracks, leaks or abrasions. Excellent product, highly recommended.
I had a hose blow out about 18 months ago, so I replaced both hoses with Chinese made stainless braided ones. They lasted about 6 months and one started leaking. I replaced those hoses with these, and one year later, I am still happy. The crimping seems better on these hoses, so hopefully they will last at least a few more years till the rubber starts to dry rot.
I was unpleasantly surprised that the 1' pigtail was about 3" shorter than the 12" major brand that I was replacing. It barely worked for my travel trailer. Would have returned it if not for the hassle. Otherwise appears to be a quality product. Only time will tell whether it holds up better.
Seems a good product. Alas after I purchased it a year ago, i never installed it!. Still have it :)

Working fine, still pliable and leak free and defect free
I bought 2 of these hoses and one of them just seems to "seep" gas. Even if you tighten it as much as humanly possible, you can still smell gas. If you don't tighten it to absolute max, you can actually move the hose a bit and you will hear the gas seeping out at a higher rate. The other one seems totally fine so it seems there may be some inconsistency in the product itself. I appreciate the 1 year follow up from eTrailer though.....
Fit perfect and works greatj
Both propane hoses on my 2 year old trailer were cracked and leaking.
Ordered 2 new Hoses from etrailer. They arrived quickly. The hoses were heavy duty, and easy to install.
They have been on the trailer for a year and still look brand new.
I had a leaking gas hose on my camper so I replaced both pig tails with these from etrailer. They fit perfect. I was not sure about the inverted male flare end but it was correct, connected directly to the regulator/switchover valve fitting. Delivery was fast - two days.
Great quality and great price. I replaced my existing pigtails with these and they work just fine. One of the existing pigtails was leaking and neither of them had the MB Sturgis connector.
Looks great made in the USA, arrived fast, I am waiting for the propane regulator to come in before I can install pigtails. Our travel trailer is under the massive propane regulator recall. The videos at etrailer takes the guesswork out when ordering
MG Sturgis parts are made in the USA and are good quality. Years of direct sun had destroyed my old pigtails, and these are just the ticket for replacements. Well built and inexpensive. A no brainer.
Having ordered from etrailer a few times before, I wasn't surprised by the fast shipping, great price, and the quality of the items I ordered.
This hose section was an easy replacement that fixed the LP leak I had.
I was able to find the pig tails for my propane tanks that I needed. Everyone else only had the pig tails with small office on the tank side. Right part good price.
Great service and fast shipping
Quality product, easy to install. Fits regulators with 1/4 inverted flare female fitting(s) only

Ive used it almost daily during the winter months. Probably refilled the propane 4 times with zero issues.
