This lets you connect your propane cylinder to your regulator with that inverted flare pigtail and it has an internal back check to prevent any gas from leaking out of the end of the regulator inlet. One of out 14 or excuse me, one of our quarter inch female inverted flare to help to connect to our pigtail and our quarter inch male NTPN to screw into the inlet on your regulator. It's made of brass. We don't have to worry about any issues with strength or corrosion. And this is made in the USA.The whole adaptor measures about 3/4 of an inch long or about 7/8 of an inch long.
The fitting is about 5/8 of an inch.And that's going to do it for our look at the MB Sturgis Propane adapter fitting with back check.

This check valve worked great for my Elk hunting trip in January. Temps were down to -12F at night (went through a lot of propane). Auxiliary propane tank connected to main system did not reverse flow when regulator switched to main tank(s), or leak when disconnecting tank for filling.

The part was correct and of a good quality but the shipping was terrible. It took a very long time before it ever left the shipper and it was the slowest shipping service I had ever seen. The tracking information was poor at best I don’t know what all the delays were about but I am discussed.

This check valve is standard on new systems however it may not be on older units. Easy to install and works as it should. use caution when installing to insure it functions correctly by using liquid pipe dope rather that tape.

Mated to existing lp gas regulator (1/4" MNPT), and received my 1/4" male inverted flare pigtails. It added the peace of mind of having an additional check in the line also.

See what our Experts say about this MB Sturgis Propane Fittings
- Dual Propane LP Tank Setup 100 Lb for RV or Travel TrailerYes, the # 100019-24 pigtail can be used to connect your dual-cylinder 100 lb propane setup to the regulator on your RV. Since this hose does not have a back-check to contain a gas leak, you will need the # 204120-MBS fitting that includes a back-check. Without the back-check, your setup would not be RVIA (Recreation Vehicle Industry Association) compliant. You mentioned that you'd like to connect to a T first, before connecting to the regulator. I called my contact at MB Sturgis to...

- Propane Regulator for a Modine 45K BTU Hot Dawg heaterYes, you should go with a dual stage like the MB Sturgis 2-Stage Propane Regulator part # 108220 for vertical or part # 108221 for horizontal because it can be adjusted to a 12" water column outlet. In order to do this you will need to remove the black cap and turn the valve until the correct pressure is achieved. This will require a flow meter so if you do not have one it will be best to take it to a professional to have done. It is currently set at 11" water column outlet which the manufacturer...
view full answer... - Replacement of Propane Hose From Tank to Regulator that LeaksSo it's the elbow piece that you need? Without knowing the fittings I can't be sure but since that should be the inlet to your regulator it probably has a 1/4 inch male fitting on the end going into the regulator and a 1/4 inch female on the other. We don't carry any 90 degree adapters with those fittings. If those are correct you can probably bypass it if you can get the hose to connect directly to the regulator. Or if I'm wrong about the fittings let me know what they are and I'll see...

- Looking For Propane Pigtail To Replace MEC Marshall Excelsior Co. MER426-20 Dark Green UL Listed 650Hello Karl, thanks for reaching out. We do have a propane pigtail that will work for you. I recommend the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail # 100473-20-MBS which is 20" long and has the same specs as the current hose. It sounds like you will also need the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Fitting # 204120-MBS to connect the pigtail to your regulator.
view full answer... - Is a Back Check Valve Required For Connecting a Pigtail Hose to an Auto-Changeover Regulator?Both the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail Hose # 100019-15 and Propane Hose # 37207-30605 will require a Adapter Fitting w/ Back Check # 204120-MBS when going into a changeover regulator. Most Regulators # 37207-30395 will come with these back check valves already in place, and as long as you do not remove it or it is not damaged you will not have to get a new fitting.
view full answer... - 3' Adapter Hose For Attaching 100 Gallon Propane Tank To 3/4" Black Steel PipeThe MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail Hose # 100019-36 is 3' long and has the POL fitting to attach to your 100 gallon propane tank. The other end has a 1/4" male inverted flare fitting which you will be able to adapt to the 3/4" fitting on the black steel pipe. You will want to first use the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Fitting w/ Back Check # 204120-MBS to adapt to a MPT fitting and prevent any propane in the steel lines from releasing when changing out the tank. You will finally need to source...
view full answer... - Regulator For a 100 lb Propane Tank to a Ventless HeaterThe regulator you need is MB Sturgis part # 108220. The maximum propane flow capacity of this regulator is 400,000 BTU per hour so it can handle the 18,000 BTU of your Empire wall mount ventless heater. The two stage regulator is also the best option for the heater that is most likely running for extended amounts of time. Most likely there is a POL fitting on the tank, you can use 100019-48 pigtail to the regulator. The hose does not have a back check so you need adapter fitting part...
view full answer... - Is Male Inverted Flare Fitting a Left Hand Thread Like the POLThe male inverted flare fitting of part # 100019-15 that goes into a regulator is a standard right hand thread. You're correct the POL connection is a left hand but that's the only one that's unique in that sense. The inverted flare end fits into dual stage regulators that have the brass adapters like part # 204120-MBS. This way you don't need to use tape to make the connection with the hose.
view full answer... - Pigtails Needed to Connect Dual Propane Tanks to Regulator on Travel TrailerFor a typical travel trailer propane setup you will have 1 of 2 pigtails. The first will have the Type 1 connector (with the green cap) and the other has a 1/4" MPT fitting like what we find on the pigtail # 100473-12. I believe this is what you currently have but I think the end you're seeing looks like the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Fitting # 204120-MBS and I think the white plastic piece is part of the back-check. The other type of pigtail that we see has the same Type 1 connector,...

If you are wanting to use a 20 or 30 lb propane tank with this oven then I recommend using the 4' # 100040-48-MBS, 6' # 100040-72-MBS, or 12' # 100040-144-MBS hose along with a dual stage regulator, part # 108220 with the fitting # 204120-MBS for a single tank or part # CAM59005 for dual tanks. Once you have all of this connected you just need a pigtail like part # 100833-15 to your propane tank(s)...

- Is An Adapter Needed For Automatic Changeover RV LP Gas RegulatorYou actually do not need the adapter you mentioned # 204120-MBS, your Automatic Changeover RV LP Gas Regulator # 37207-30395 has two 1/4" inverted flare fittings that connect to your propane tanks, and has a 3/8" female NPT connection that will connect to your trailer, and use # 100040-72-MBS to connect them together.
view full answer... - Removing Two 30 lb Propane Tanks and Replacing Them With 100 lb Propane TankYou can remove your two 30 lb tanks and add a 100 lb tank, but you will need a number of parts, including a new regulator for a single tank. What you will need are the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hose - POL Pigtail x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 3' # 100019-36 to attach to your tank, then the MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 108221. You will need to attach the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Fitting w/ Back Check - 1/4" Female Inverted Flare x 1/4" MPT # 204120-MBS to...
view full answer... - I Need a 20 Inch Propane Tank Pigtail Hose with a Type 1 x 1/4 inch NPT FittingI'm assuming you are asking for a 20 inch hose, which the closest option we have at this time would be the combination of our pigtail hose, part # 100833-24, and adapter # 204120-MBS. If you don't mind using a typical rubber hose, you can use part # 37207-30865.
view full answer... - Recommended 3'+ Propane Supply Hose for Pop-Up CamperIf you're searching for a hose to go from the tank to the regulator then you'll need the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail part # 100575-36-MBS for 3' long or part # 100575-48-MBS for 4' long. Please note, the pigtail hoses use an inverted flare and most regulators use national pipe taper (NPT) so if you don't already have the brass inserts you'll need them as well, the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Fitting part # 204120-MBS.
view full answer... - Recommended Type 1 Propane Pigtail with Dark Green ConnectorIt sounds like you're looking for a Type 1 propane pigtail, which are available in 12" with part # 100833-12, 18" with part # 37207-30735 or 30" with part # 100575-30-MBS; these all have the dark green Type 1 connection that you're seeking but they do not come in a 10" long version. For the 1/4" MIF to 1/4" Female MPT adapter you can use the # 402258-MBS which does not have a back check, or the # 204120-MBS which comes with a back check. There is not a Female MPT to MIF adapter available,...
view full answer... - Does JR Products Automatic Changeover Regulator Include Back-Check ValveThe JR Products automatic changeover regulator, part # 37207-31525, does have a back-check valve so you don't need to purchase the adapters separately with part # 204120-MBS. You only need to purchase the adapters if you need a replacement for any reason.
view full answer... - Availability of Pigtail Hose Without Back-CheckWe do have the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hose # 100019-24 which doesn't have a back-check. This pigtail has a POL fitting on one end and then a 1/4" male inverted flare on the end that connects to your regulator so if you already have an adapter in the regulator you'll need to remove it to use this pigtail. Please note that when used as part of a dual-cylinder setup, this will not be RVIA compliant. The adapter fitting # 204120-MBS would need to be purchased (which has the back-check)...
view full answer... - Are There Propane Adapters/Lines that Prevent Gas from LeakingSounds like you are asking about a back check style of line/adapter. We have the part # 204120-MBS that is a propane fitting that has a back check built into it. It is a fit for 1/4 inch NPT lines and will prevent gas from leaking out of the regulator inlet. Hoses don't generally fail often, but it is possible that they can fail. It is possible your current line has a back check built into it and it has failed.

A trailer normally has tanks with a Type 1 connection and the standard inlet on regulators is 1/4 inch NPT. Send me some pictures if yours seem different. A 48 inch hose that works for the standard fittings is part # 100575-48-MBS. For this hose you also need an adapter, part # 204120-MBS. Ths converts the inlet on the regulator from 1/4 inch NPT to 1/4 inch FIF. The only...

I needed a check valve for an additional hose from a tee on one side of the regulator to a bottle on the ground for extended camping. The original tee would allow gas to escape when I changed the auxiliary tank. This valve solved that problem perfectly.
