I took a look at the longest extension hoses we offer, and I was able to find the:

-MB Sturgis Propane Extension Hose - Dual Type 1 Tank Valve # 1000914-240-MBS.

This hose measures 20' long, features a dual male/female type 1 connector, and has a maximum BTU rating of 400K. If you're able to let me know what kind of fittings you're needing, I can see if we can come up with something.

I DESPARATELY NEED a Dual Type 1 Tank Valve Extension Hose that is 30 feet long. Fittings needed: dual male/female type 1 connector, just like you said Champion says it needs to be capable of "½ PSI and a flow rate up to 76,000 BTU/hr. when under full load. " Is it possible to build a hose with these specs, and if not, PLEASE explain why. Thanks!

@James Same James here, just following up with a comment and clarification. I was quoting Champion's requirements if I attempt to use a longer hose than their 12-foot dual Type 1 Valve Extension Hose. Are those numbers for PSI and btu/hr for the outlet side of Champion's regulator, ie, what's going into the generator? 0.5 PSI sounds very low to me, if common line pressure for RV appliances is 10-15 PSI. What is this number based on? And if you're stating that a 20-ft hose is capable of 400,000 BTU (per hour?) then surely a longer version of the same hose could deliver 76,000 to the regulator, even if it's 30 feet away. Yes I'm aware of coefficients of friction etc./whatever that slow the output volume down, but, that would be about 80 percent reduction over 50% length. Shoulda taken that fluid dynamics class :-)

Answer 5

Technically there is no limit to how long a propane hose can be. However, the general consensus is that it should be no longer than 20' like the #1000914-240-MBS. Any longer than 20' and you may experience problems with pressure and flow.
