Camco 30" Pigtail Propane Hose Connector – 30-inch ACME to 1/4" Inverted Flare, Thermal & Excess-Flow Protection

The Camco 30" Pigtail Propane Hose Connector is a 30-inch LPG hose that safely links 20 or 30 lb propane cylinders to an RV or trailer regulator while providing thermal and excess-flow protection.

When you need a dependable, easy-to-install connection between your portable propane tank and your RV’s regulator, this Camco pigtail hose offers a balanced mix of safety, flexibility and capacity. Designed for outdoor and mobile use, it supports common camping appliances and provides safeguards that reduce the risk of heat-related failure and uncontrolled gas flow. The hose is compatible with standard ACME fittings and 1/4" inverted flare regulator connections, so it integrates smoothly with most RV propane systems and accessory tees.

How does the Camco 30" pigtail make campground setup faster?

Its 30-inch length gives you extra reach to position your tank at a convenient spot without straining the regulator or hose. Quick-thread fittings mean you can attach and detach the tank in moments, which is especially helpful during busy arrivals or when swapping tanks.

• 30" length for flexible positioning and easier tank access
• ACME nut for fast hand-tight connection to propane cylinders
• 1/4" inverted male flare for direct regulator fit
• Durable jacket resists abrasion and outdoor wear

What safety features protect my RV and appliances?

Camco built in thermal protection to limit hazards if the hose is exposed to high heat, and excess flow protection to shut down gas flow if a sudden line break or major leak occurs. These passive safety elements reduce the chance of large uncontrolled fuel release and add a layer of protection beyond a basic hose.

• Thermal protection helps prevent heat-related hose failure
• Excess flow device limits fuel delivery during a major rupture
• Rated for high-capacity flows to match common RV loads
• Made to meet typical RV propane installation expectations

What appliances and flow rates will this pigtail handle?

• 200,000 BTU/hr capacity for multi-appliance use
• Compatible with 20 lb and 30 lb propane cylinders
• Works with regulators, 4-port tees, and standard RV plumbing
• Good for cooking, heating, and water heating demands

How easy is installation and routine use?

Installation is straightforward: thread the ACME nut to the tank and attach the inverted flare to your regulator. Routine checks are simple—inspect fittings and the hose jacket for wear, and replace the assembly if damage or leaks are suspected. The design aims to minimize tools and time spent on hookups.

• Hand-tight ACME nut—no special tools required for typical hookup
• Clear connection interfaces reduce installation errors
• Inspect visually for cracks, kinks, or abrasions before each season
• Replace if thermal damage or persistent leaks are found

Who is this for: If you own an RV, travel trailer, or towable that uses propane appliances and you want a reliable, safety-minded hose for routine camping or seasonal use, the Camco 30" Pigtail Propane Hose Connector is a practical choice. It's aimed at road travelers, full-time RVers, and occasional campers who prioritize easy hookups, high flow capacity, and extra safety features like thermal and excess-flow protection. Choose this hose when you need a proven, compatible connection between standard 20/30 lb tanks and your regulator system.
