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 RV Propane Pigtail Hose. Now this propane pigtail hose is going to be the connection between your RV's propane cylinder and regulator. It is designed specifically for systems that need a higher propane flow than a standard pigtail may be able to provide. The big thing to understand is its 400,000 BTU per hour capacity.
So if an RV has high demand propane equipment, the system can only perform as well as the components supplying it. A standard pigtail could potentially become a restriction. So this hose is designed to provide that higher flow without becoming the bottleneck. This is going to be right at 18 inches long, and the high pressure thermoplastic hose with a quarter of an inch inside diameter has a working pressure of 350 PSIG. On the propane cylinder side, there is going to be a type one QCC Acme nut.
And then on the regulator side, there's a quarter of an inch male inverted flare fitting. And these connections are important to check before you pick this hose up. You want to make sure that these connections are going to work for you. There's also two noticeable, or notable, rather, protection features built into this hose. First is the excess flow protection.
That's designed to restrict propane flow if something downstream fails and causes an abnormally high uncontrolled flow of gas. There's also a thermal link which adds protection at the cylinder connection if it's exposed to extreme heat from a fire. This features brass ferrules here, and I think that's going to wrap up our quick look today. Again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
