Camco Low Pressure Gas Regulator with 12' Hose — 70,000 BTU, Excess-Flow Protection

The Camco Low Pressure Gas Regulator with 12-foot hose is a ready-to-install propane regulator assembly rated to 70,000 BTU/hr and built for low-pressure gas-fired heaters and compatible grills.

This regulator and hose kit is engineered to connect a standard type-1 propane cylinder to low-pressure appliances such as Camco’s Olympian heater line and certain catalytic safety heaters. The assembly replaces worn hoses and faulty regulators, offers excess-flow protection to help prevent uncontrolled fuel delivery, and uses a 3/8-inch female flare swivel nut for a secure, leak-resistant connection. The 12-foot length gives flexibility in placement while complying with typical low-pressure heater requirements.

How does this regulator ensure safe gas supply to my low-pressure heater?

The unit includes excess-flow protection that limits fuel passage if an abrupt, excessive flow is detected, reducing risk of uncontrolled gas delivery. Its fittings and swivel nut are designed to create a tight seal, minimizing leaks when properly installed and inspected.

• Built-in excess-flow device for automatic shutback under high-flow conditions
• Type-1 Acme connection for secure cylinder attachment
• 3/8-inch female flare swivel nut for leak-resistant appliance hookup

Will this work with my Olympian or catalytic heater and propane grills?

Yes — the regulator assembly was designed specifically for Camco Olympian low-pressure gas-fired heaters and is compatible with Wave catalytic safety heaters that use a 3/8-inch male flare connection. It can also be used with propane grills that accept the same flare size and low-pressure rating.

• Intended for Olympian heaters and Wave catalytic models
• Works with appliances featuring a 3/8-inch male flare fitting
• Fits all Type-1 propane cylinders for broad compatibility

How easy is installation and what should I check during setup?

Installation is straightforward for someone familiar with propane appliance hookups: attach the Type-1 Acme fitting to the cylinder, then tighten the 3/8-inch flare swivel to the appliance inlet. Always perform a soap-and-water leak check and verify upright cylinder placement and secure connections before first use.

• Quick-mount Type-1 Acme connection to cylinder
• Hand-tighten then test the 3/8-inch flare swivel nut for leaks
• Recommended leak-check and inspection before each season

What performance and compatibility specs should I expect?

The regulator is rated to deliver up to 70,000 BTU per hour under low-pressure operation—suitable for the named heater models and many low-pressure appliances within that demand range. The 12-foot hose length provides flexibility for appliance placement while maintaining safe distance from the tank.

• Maximum rated flow: 70,000 BTU/hr
• Hose length: 12 feet for flexible placement
• Connections: Type-1 Acme x 3/8" female flare swivel

Who is this for? This Camco regulator and 12' hose kit is ideal for RV owners, cabin users, and anyone operating Camco Olympian or compatible low-pressure propane heaters who needs a reliable replacement or upgrade. It also suits users of grills and appliances that accept a 3/8" male flare connection and require up to 70,000 BTU of low-pressure supply. If you value straightforward installation, compatibility with Type-1 cylinders, and built-in excess-flow protection, this assembly is a practical choice.
