Your RV's propane hookup isn't always where you want to cook. This 3' hose connects a compatible grill or appliance to your RV's propane supply, giving you more room to set up away from the RV.
Your RV's propane quick-connect may be right beside the camper, but that's not always where you want a hot grill, cooking smoke, and grease. This 3' hose gives you room to move a compatible grill or other appliance farther from the RV while still using the propane supply you're already carrying.
Disconnecting an appliance while propane is still flowing can release flammable gas at the connection. The included shutoff valve lets you stop propane flow at the hose before separating the quick-disconnect fitting.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this MEC Propane Quick Disconnect Hose. Now this hose is basically going to be a simple way for you as an RV owner to get a little more flexibility when setting up a propane grill or other compatible outdoor appliance. So instead of having to cook right next to your RV's propane hookup, this hose is going to give you about three feet of additional reach. So you can put some space between your camper and the heat, smoke, and grease from cooking.
So this is going to be 36 inches long with a quarter of an inch female quick disconnect fitting on one end. And I wanted to show you this here real quick, talking about the quick disconnect. So I'm just going to pull this back. Oh actually, excuse me, I have to turn this first. Then that's going to allow me to pull that back.
So you see the quick disconnect option there, really cool. And then just pop that back on and then you'll put that valve that way, and that'll keep that collar from accidentally slipping that way to where this can easily come off. So again, a quarter-inch female quick disconnect fitting on one end, and then a quarter-inch male NPT connection on the other. The quick disconnect is designed to connect and release by hand. So you're not going to need tools every time you hook up or disconnect your appliance.
And as you probably already saw, there is a tethered cap here for the female quick disconnect fitting, and that'll just pop in there like so. And then one of the more useful features here is this built in shutoff valve. So that's going to let you stop the propane flow at the hose before disconnecting the quick disconnect fitting. That's an important part of how you use this hose since you don't want propane continuing to flow when you separate the connection. So again, the hose has a quarter of an inch inside diameter and it is intended to let a compatible propane appliance use the propane supply that's already on the RV.
I don't think I mentioned it, but the hose is thermoplastic construction, so it's going to hold up really well for you. But I think that's going to wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
