Camco Pigtail Propane Hose Connector, 24-inch ACME to 1/4-in Flare — Thermal & Excess-Flow Protection

The Camco 24" Pigtail Propane Hose Connector is a 24-inch flexible hose that links standard 20/30 lb propane cylinders to RV or trailer regulators while providing thermal and excess-flow safety features.

This pigtail hose simplifies propane hookups for campers, trailers and outdoor appliances. Built to pair a 1/4" inverted flare regulator to common ACME-tanked cylinders, it balances flexibility, capacity and safety so you can set up propane systems quickly and with confidence. The connector is purpose-made for mobile use, so it withstands repeated connections, campsite movement and routine wear.

How does this connector make hooking up my RV propane system easier?

Installation is straightforward: the hose features an ACME nut to engage the tank valve and a 1/4" inverted male flare to mate with camper regulators. Its 24" length gives enough reach for convenient positioning without excess slack, reducing kinks and strain on fittings.

• ACME nut for secure attachment to propane cylinders
• 1/4" inverted male flare for standard RV regulators
• 24-inch flexible hose for easy routing and minimal tension
• Quick-connect style that reduces setup time at campsites

What safety protections are built into the Camco pigtail?

The hose incorporates thermal protection to limit gas flow if exposed to excessive heat and excess flow protection to shut off fuel if a sudden high-flow event (like a broken line) occurs. These features help reduce the risk of uncontrolled propane flow under hazardous conditions.

• Thermal protection that responds to high temperatures
• Excess flow protection that closes during abrupt pressure drops
• Durable fittings that resist leaks when properly tightened
• Designed for routine outdoor and mobile use

Will this hose deliver enough propane for cooking and heating?
