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 MEC high flow RV propane pigtail hose. Now this is for those who need to get more propane through the hose than a standard pigtail may be able to supply. This is going to connect your propane cylinder to the regulator. But the important distinction here is that this is a high flow capacity.
And it has a capacity of 400,000 BTU per hour. So that's going to make this useful for compatible RV setups with higher demand propane equipment. Now this is going to be right at 24 inches long and it's constructed of thermal plastic. So this high pressure hose has a quarter of an inch inside diameter with a working pressure of 350 PSIG. On the propane side, we have this type one QCC Acme nut that's going to connect to the cylinder.
And then on the regular regulator side, we have a quarter of an inch male inverted flare fitting. So these connections are going to be important to verify before picking this up since the hose needs to match both the cylinder and the regulator. Now there are a couple built-in safety features worth noting. The excess flow protection is designed to restrict propane flow if something downstream fails and causes propane to flow at a abnormally high rate. There's also a thermal link at the cylinder connection that's going to provide another safeguard if that connection is exposed to extreme heat or fire.
This hose is listed as RVIA and NFPA 1192 compliant. So when comparing this with a typical replacement pigtail, the main reason to pick this one up is its 400,000 BTU per hour flow capacity. It isn't simply about replacing a worn hose. This is intended for an RV propane system where maintaining enough fuel flow for high demand equipment matters to you. I think that's going to wrap up our look today.
Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
