Pigtail makes the connection from the propane tanks on your trailer to the propane regulator on your trailer. Check valve prevents backflow leakage and is suitable for dual-tank setups. Stainless Steel overbraiding protects hose from damage.

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.

Stainless Steel overbraiding protects hose from damage.Made in USA! My SAE wrenches fit (7/16"). Looks great and doesn't leak. Worth a few bucks more than the Chinese junk sold elsewhere.

They seem ok. I did have one go bad. The safety valve on the tank end of the hose went bad. You couldn't turn on the gas slow enough that it wouldn't snap shut. I have 10 hoses total on my 5 pieces equipment.
The order was placed in October of 2021, and due to supply chain issues delayed by the regulator. They gave me regular updates on expected dates from the mfg.... When all the parts arrived in August of 2022 they honored the prices quoted when the order was originally placed....no price increase to current prices!!! That is what I call top shelf respect for the customer.
We needed to connect dual tanks at our ADU and these are the perfect solution. But almost better than the great products is the care and attention our small order received. Items were on backorder and they continued to be in contact with us concerning when to expect them. We would order again from them in a heartbeat!
Exactly what I was looking for to get the propane hooked up for our new range in our home in the mountains. Not a cheap china one and the made in USA quality shows. Would recommend to anyone needing a new or replacement pigtail.
Also a big shout out to etrailer that got the pigtails sent to us incredibly fast. Always a pleasure doing business with etrailer!!
William - 10/08/2021These are exactly what we needed to replace the pigtails on our camper. The rubber on the outside of the original ones cracked after only two years; the stainless overbraid we replaced them with will, we are certain, give us many years of use.
took old ones of these went right on will just wait and see how long they last
Very quality product
Good Quality Part!
Delivery was on time, sales staff was great to work with.
The pigtails works just as expected & I like them very much. These 2 are to replace the previous ones (same part #) less than a year old & both leaking from the same joint just a couple of months apart. The only gripe is the remarkably short manufactures warranty period, & this particular issue is a known manufacturing defect which I'm sure the manufacture has addressed. These new parts come from their new inventory.
The customer service from etrailer has been outstanding & Kaylyn was a delight in resolving my difficulty. The new parts came very quickly.
Greg - 03/10/2021Finally received, installed and works g reat.
The regulator end fitting doesn't allow for immediate installation into my propane tank selector. I still haven't found the adaptor piece and have yet to be able to install this after a year since purchase. At this time the unit is in storage for the winter or I would provide a photograph of the complication. Thanks for asking me for the review.
Heather A - 02/01/2019Great quality hose. Should last many years. Pricing and shipping all excellent.
a little pricey until you figure going 30 miles into town. the product worked fine as it should. your site has been bookmarked for future purchases
It's exactly what we wanted to replace our 12-year old pigtail.
Great service & speed of delivery. Removed & installed in about 20 minutes. I have order several items and the service & price has always been great.
Great communication from etrailer.com. The one hose was not available and I was immediately notified and asked if something could be substituted. I was contacted by email and cell phone. Very impressive! The hose was only a week delayed. The shipping material was very adequate and the hoses look as described. I will purchase from etrailer again. Thank you.
I have the standard pigtails that came with our Grand Design Travel Trailer. After only 1-year one of the pigtails began to leak at the fitting where the hose is crimped on. Decided to upgrade to stainless pigtails that were a couple of inches longer than what came with the trailer. Hoping these perform well. The local RV repair facility wanted upwards of $25.00 each for a standard non-stainless pigtail and 1-hour of labor at $130.00 / hour to install.
Hi, I have bought this hose from several other companies and when I get them it has a tag saying Mr Heater. It seemed Mr Heater is a supplier for many other companies, well they never worked. This hose allows more gas before going into bypass mode. So my gas heater and gas refrigerator and gas stove can all work at the same time, or I can just use one of these without any problems. Plus this hose has a steel braiding around it so it cant get cut or worn from rubbing on sharp edges. And the best thing about it is the price is so low. We live in our RV full time and this hose will last for as long as the trailer. It's too bad they don't use a hose of this high quality when they made the trailers. And Etrailer.com shipped it out right away. I will only buy my trailer supplies from etrailer.com from now on, they only sell higher quality parts and at a fair and low price.
These are AWESOME LP hoses manufactured in North America (US or Canada). The original hoses were of poor quality which developed cracks after just a couple years. I tried to get replacement hoses from our local camper dealer, but they only stocked the same (inferior) hoses that came stock on the trailer. Rather than allowing history to repeat, I ordered these quality hoses. You simply can’t skimp on quality when it comes to LP hoses. I recommend that you give these serious consideration and you might just be as happy as me.
These hoses and fittings are far superior to the stock hoses originally installed on my 5th wheel propane tanks. Much more peace of mind sleeping above the propane storage bay now. Upgrade before a problem.
I received the hose promptly. So far it fit and it works. Be sure to check for leaks after you hand tighten. I had to use a wrench for an extra 1/4 turn. The green connector feels very durable and sturdy. For the price, even with shipping, you will not be dissapointed.
Thundercat - 08/02/2020these went on easily and quickly, used pipe goop to seal the threaded ends. Old ones on my RV trailer were leaking gas due to loose clamps on rubber hose. I prefer stainless overbraid to rubber and the older rubber ones were about 7 years old and needed to be changed anyway.
I've always had good luck with your products over the last couple of years. My holes on my RV propane regulator were bigger diameter than the pigtails that I ordered, so I had to go to the local hardware store and buy a brass adapter to make it fit. Otherwise everything is okay...…….
