Expert Reply:

I do have an option for you but the JR Products Propane Hose part # 37207-30605 does not have an excess-flow safety device.

I recommend to use the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay Propane Fill Hose part # 100019-15 instead because it features a ball bearing in the POL fitting that requires a certain amount of pressure to allow gas to flow. If there is not enough pressure for the ball bearing to press down it will not release the propane which means you have a leak somewhere. This pigtail is 15 inches long and made in the USA. It is designed to connect to a T-fitting like part # 103602-MBS or part # 103612-MBS. Both of these T-fittings have an auxiliary connection point for you to connect your throw away bottle to.
