This propane hose is ideal for travel trailers with a split-tank system. This kind of system features 1 cylinder on the driver's side and 1 cylinder on the passenger's side of your trailer. This hose connects the cylinder on the passenger's side to a high-pressure regulator. An additional hose (sold separately) will then carry the propane from the high-pressure regulator to the 2-stage regulator on the driver's side of your trailer.
Bypass Mode for Safety
This Type 1 connector will go into bypass mode if the flow rate surpasses the maximum flow capacity for this connector, which is 450,000 Btu per hour. A ball inside of the fitting will push an internal spring down, pressing firmly against the bottom of the fitting to shut off the flow of gas.
When choosing a Type 1 connector, consider your overall propane demands and choose a connector with a flow rate that just exceeds it. That way, you won't trigger the bypass mode during normal use, but it will trigger in the event of a leak. If the bypass valve engages, stop using gas and start checking your connections for leaks.

I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND AN AMERICAN PART MADE WITH HIGH QUALITY TRUE RUBBER HOSE AND QUALITY CLAMPS WITH A PERFECT TANK FITTING. ETRAILER OBTAINED THIS FOR ME(AFTER A LITTLE WAIT) AND I WAS SO HAPPY TO RECEIVE IT. THANK YOU FOR THE QUALITY EQUIPMENT, I HAVE COME TO EXPECT FROM YOUR COMPANY.
by: Steve02/20/2024
This is what you want. Don't buy the cheap chinese crap. I did to replace original USA made pigtails (15 years old) and after losing a couple of tanks of propane, figured out they were slowly leaking. Cheap pigtails were only a couple of years old too. Don't let the fancy stainless steel braiding fool you like it did me.
by: David02/10/2024
Both Propane pigtails fit perfectly with no leaks
by: Scott11/23/2022
First one leaked jyst behind the type-1 connector at the hose. I was promptly sent another that didn't leak. Quality customer service and a good product.
by: Isela04/19/2024
Great service. Quick answers to my questions and part was ordered and received quickly and correctly. Thank you!

This propane hose has already far outlived the original factory one, and recently survived a 14,000 mile cross country trip to Alaska and thru Canada on some extremely rough and dusty roads.
by: Chris06/18/2023
I purchased these to update my Lp supply system because mine were hardened and fairly old. They looked really good and fit perfect. We replaced the hoses and went on about testing them and found them to be leaking at both ends. The coupler and the brass fitting was fine, it was the hose connections at the crimp. Not just one of them but both were leaking, and surprisingly both hoses. We were using our camper at the time so I had to put the old ones back on. I got sick and never sent them back. This is only the second time out of all the parts I've purchased from etrailer that had failed, so I wasn't overly upset about. Good looking hoses, just bad crimps. Thankfully I bubble checked them and didn't just put them on and walk off. If I would have sent them back I'm sure etrailer would have replaced them, I just never did. I will still continue to buy my parts from etrailer, stuff happens no fault of them.

A item that I feel should be replaced on a routine basis
by: Peter08/08/2023
I installed on a travel trailer. It hasn't been used yet on a camping trip but it was easy to install. I did a soapy water check on it and it didn't leak.
by: Brandon02/23/2024
My previous hose is 1'. When I ordered this one it was 2 inches shorter. I'll be needing to return it. Not sure if I missed that but it might be something to consider calling out somewhere.

Last week this propane hose started leaking.
So I'm going to buy a new one .
I was hoping it would of lasted longer than this.

Hello,
Thank you for a no worries order, my delivery was on time and all it’s good..

Order was received on time as stated. Items were stocked.

I used these as replacements for two older style hoses on my RV tanks. The old ones required the use of a wrench to remove them from the tank. It was an easy conversion that took less than 15 minutes.
On the connection to the regulator, I used yellow teflon gas tape on the threads as a precautionary measure. Still don't know if that was necessary, but didn't want to take a chance they might leak. So far, so good, no leaks at the connections.
They are reasonably priced good quality hoses. With the older hoses it was a pain to switch out empty tank for a full one. Eventually it got so difficult to get the hose thread started in the propane tank that I stripped one of them out, which is why I ordered new hoses from etrailer.
Tank swap outs are now a breeze, and no tools required! Wished I had done this years ago.
Standard shipment from etrailer was adequate and reasonably priced.

Still working good. Small purchase that has made life easier.

Didn't last a year just bought another brand from etrailer couple months ago. Started leaking from the hose connection

Works as should fast delivery
by: Richard07/30/2019
High quality made in USA propane pigtails. Note that these are 1/4 inch pipe thread ends for the older auto switching regulator on my 2007 Airstream International. The more common 1/8 inch reverse flare fitting will not fit mine. The 1/4 inch pipe thread pigtails are a little harder to find, and are able to flow more propane. I have a propane powered generator that thes work very well with.

Still solid, no leaks! Well made product.
by: Von09/23/2021
Rating based on first impression of this item. The OEM hose clamp ferrules on my original RV hoses were shorter, didn't clamp well (allowing the hose to spin on the brass coupler) and leaked. Bought this item with its beefier looking ferrules. Time will tell if they perform better.

These pigtails are of good quality, flexible and dont leak. Have been working great for a year now. Good purchase.
by: Robert11/19/2019
Order two of these to replace failed units on our trailer. Shopped on Amazon and saw tons of comments about people getting units that failed and leaked out of the box. Both of these look like high quality hose crimps and two weekends of use without any issues. Shipping was super quick and good communication. Would order from etrailer again.

Bought two of these to replace the originals that came from the factory. One year in and no problems. Seems higher quality then the originals.

- Propane Hose Pigtail Replacement For 1999 Sierra Forest RiverIt appears you are in need of a propane hose pigtail for your 1999 Sierra Forest River. If this is the case then you'll want to use the MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly # 100473-12 which is 12" in length that has a 1/4" male NPT connection on one end and a type 1 connection on the other. This product also has internal back check which will stop protentional back flow leakage.

- Replacement Pigtail Propane Hose with 1/4 MPT FittingThanks so much for the pictures and I'm sorry to hear about your accident! I hope everyone is okay. The correct replacement hose for your regulator is the MB Sturgis # 100473-12. This hose measures 12" long but various longer units are available, which I have linked below. The brass fitting/adapter you see on your existing hose is what is seen on some regulators, such as with the Camco # CAM59005. These are typically installed and kept on the regulator itself but sometimes are put on...

- What Size Pigtail Fitting Fits MB Sturgis Regulator # 88801-MBSOn the MB Sturgis regulator part # 888001-MBS the inlet side has a 1/4 inch female inverted flare fitting and the output side is 3/8 inch NPT. So the pigtail side would need to have a 1/4 inch male fitting like the MB Sturgis part # 100473-12 which is 12 inches long.
view full answer... - Regulator Kit Recommendation for 2006 Fleetwood NiagaraI looked up your 2006 Fleetwood Niagara and it looks like it uses two tank setup like what a lot of pop up campers use. So for a regulator designed for dual tanks with an automatic changeover we have the Camco Regulator part # CAM59005 which allows you to connect both of your tanks to a hose for your heater. If you need new pig tail assemblies between the tanks and the regulator we have the part # 100473-12 which is a standard 12 inch long pigtail. None of these have O-rings though.
view full answer... - Length of MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly, # 100473-12The overall length from end to end of the MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly, # 100473-12, is slightly greater than 12". However, once the 1/4" MPT is threaded into the regulator and the RV Type 1, with back check valve, is connected to the propane supply, you will have a bout 12" of length between regulator and valve connection. Providing about the same as you have with current hose.
view full answer... - How to Remove Quick Disconnect Adapter From POL Fitting on DOT Propane TankThere isn't really any advice I have on removing the quick disconnect fitting other than getting a wrench and plenty of elbow grease. It's in a POL thread which means it's a left-hand thread so keep that in mind. Once you get the quick disconnect out you can use a standard pigtail hose with a Type 1 ACME nut like part # 100473-12 on it.

- Recommended Adapter Fittings To Go From A 1/4" NPT Male Fitting To A 3/8" Female Flare FittingFrom what you're saying you have a 3/8 Female Flare fitting on your regulator and need to connect to propane tank with a pigtail hose. While we don't currently carry an adapter hose to meet this need we do have some adapters that can help get you there. You'll need to hook the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Fitting # MBS77FR into the 3/8" female flare fitting on the regulator. From there you'll use the MB Sturgis Propane Bulkhead w/ Nut and Lockwasher # MBS47FR to connect that fitting to...
view full answer... - Propane Regulator for MB Sturgis 100473 Propane HoseYes, you can use the MB Sturgis 100473 hose with a replacement single-stage regulator, which is what it looks like you need based on your photo. For the regulator you will need the Camco Single Stage Propane Regulator # CAM59013. Then for the 100473 hose you can choose the one you need based on the length: - 12 inches: MB Sturgis Propane Hose - RV Type 1 with Back Check x 1/4" MPT # 100473-12 - 15 inches: MB Sturgis Propane Hose - RV Type 1 with Back Check x 1/4" MPT # 100473-15-MBS -...

- Regulator And Connectors Needed For 30lb Refillable Propane Tank All you need here is a Type 1 connection like # 100473-12 and a single stage regulator like the MB Sturgis Single Stage Propane Regulator # 108072 for your 30lb refillable tank. This is a standard hose that connects to your tank goes to the single state regulator like what you have. If you need a hose to go from the regulator to your stove, send me a picture of the connection on the stove and I'll see if we have what you need. I would also need to know how long you need it to be. Included...
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Connect A 20lb Propane Bottle To An Accessory Needing A 3/8" Male Flare Fitting You'll need to get a 3/8" male flare union from your local hardware store. This will have a 3/8" male flare fitting on both sides and then you could use a hose like the Camco Low-Pressure LP Gas Regulator w/ 6' Long Hose # CAM57703, which has a built in regulator. if you don't need a regulator then you can also get a 3/8" male flare to 1/4" female inverted flare fitting from your local hardware store and use a hose like the Propane Hose with Back Check # 37207-30795.
view full answer... - Automatic Changeover Propane Regulator to Replace 2 Single Stage RegulatorsWhat you have there is an old school way of making a 2-stage regulator by running the propane through two single-stage regulators. You can add a second tank and replace what you have with an automatic changeover 2-stage regulator, part # CAM59005. You need two Type 1 connection hoses to go from the tanks to the regulator, part # 100473-12 is a 12 inch hose. If you need a different length I've linked all of the hoses we carry that will work for you. After the regulator you need a Tee...

- Dual Propane Regulator Replacement for Older TrailerIt looks like what you have there are dual propane tanks, so a dual propane regulator will be needed. The age of the trailer doesn't matter so long as the fittings on the tanks are current. So what you need is the Compact Low Pressure 2-Stage Automatic Changeover RV LP Gas Regulator # 37207-31525. For hoses you can use the 12 inch MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly - RV Type 1 w/ Back Check x 1/4" MPT # 100473-12. To mount this regulator if needed, you can use the U-Post RV LP Gas Regulator...

- Pigtails Needed to Connect Dual Propane Tanks to Regulator on Travel TrailerFor a typical travel trailer propane setup you will have 1 of 2 pigtails. The first will have the Type 1 connector (with the green cap) and the other has a 1/4" MPT fitting like what we find on the pigtail # 100473-12. I believe this is what you currently have but I think the end you're seeing looks like the MB Sturgis Propane Adapter Fitting # 204120-MBS and I think the white plastic piece is part of the back-check. The other type of pigtail that we see has the same Type 1 connector,...

view full answer... - What Size Male Fitting Does RV Pigtail Propane Tank UseFor the pigtail harnesses like what you are looking for there is only 1/4 inch NPT like the part # 37207-30865. If you can source a 1/4 inch female to 3/8 inch male adapter this could would but we do not carry that specific adapter.
view full answer... - Gas Log Set Needs Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane TanksThe pressure regulators we have available are all a nominal 11" WC which is most common for RV appliances. Please verify your gas log set requires 12" WC minimum. If an 11" WC will work, I suggest the MB Sturgis Vertical 2-Stage Propane Regulator, # 108220. You will also need two Type 1 connection hoses to go from the tanks to the regulator, # 100473-12 is a 12 inch hose. This has a flow capacity of up to 400,000 Btu per hour.
view full answer... - Propane Pigtail to Use with MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator 108221MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 108221 has two National Pipe Thread (NPT) fittings, a 1/4-inch Female NPT inlet and a 3/8-inch Female NPT outlet. Pigtail hose part # 100833-15 has a male inverted flare fitting and so it will not work. Instead use MB Sturgis Propane Hose part # 100473-12 which has the correct fitting.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Connect 20lb Propane Tank to RV ApplianceFor your Propane lines, you will need to start with the pigtail, then regulator, then main line, tee, and alternate lines. I recommend the following: Pigtail # 100473-12 Regulator # 37207-30325 Tee # 37207-30055 Because I don't know the connections on your appliances, I don't know the supply lines you need from the 1/4 inch Male Inverted Flare connections to your appliances.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Hose From Propane Tank to Regulator on 5th WheelThe hose and fittings sizes are standardized for RV's. Therefore, what you have is going to be a type 1 to either a 1/4" NPT or 1/4" Male Inverter Flare. If you have the former I recommend part # 100473-12 or part # 37207-30715 if you have the latter. That said, I get why you're confused as these fittings don't actually mic out to 1/4", they will measure larger but that does not correlate to their nominal size which would be the same for measuring any sort of NPT fitting.
view full answer... - Propane Regulator Replacement For A 1992 Coleman Elite Royal Pop Up CamperDepending on your current regulator, you will want either a single stage like the MB Sturgis Single Stage Propane # 108072 or a dual stage like the MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 108221 to replace your current popup camper setup. Replacing the pigtail hose with the MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly - RV Type 1 w/ Back Check x 1/4" MPT - 12" # 100473-12 could also update your Coleman Elite propane setup.

The MB Sturgis Propane Hose Assembly - RV Type 1 w/ Back Check x 1/4" MPT - 12" # 100473-12 does not have an inverted flare in it so it will require tape on the end leading away from the propane tank. An example of the inverted flare can be seen on the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail - Stainless Overbraid - Type 1 x 1/4" Male Inverted Flare - 2' # 100833-24. If you look at the fitting running away from the tank you will see the flare. If...

First thing you need is pig tails to go from the tanks to the regulator like the part # 100473-12. Then for a dual tank regulator with automatic changeover we have the part # 37207-30395 that each of the pigtails would connect to. Then for a 12 foot long extension hose that would plug into outlet of the regulator you'd want the part # 100040-144-MBS. From there you'd connect...
