Rated to handle up to 200,000 BTUs per hour, it’s intended for high-demand appliances while including safety measures—thermal shutoff and excess flow protection—to reduce risk in fire or rupture scenarios. The hose works with standard 20 lb and 30 lb refillable LP tanks and can be used with single regulators or as an auxiliary feed to a 4-port brass tee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this hose fit my RV or trailer propane system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Camco pigtail features an ACME nut on the tank side and a 1\/4\" inverted male flare on the regulator side, matching common RV fuel inlets.

It suits campers that run multiple appliances, owners who prefer a longer hose for tank placement flexibility, and anyone seeking the added protection of thermal and excess flow devices. It is not a replacement for permanently installed commercial bulk propane lines—use it for portable cylinder hookups and auxiliary supply lines in recreational applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can this pigtail connect to both 20 lb and 30 lb propane tanks?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
