Camco Propane Supply Hose — 12-Foot Soft-Nose POL to 1/4-Inch Inverted Flare with Excess Flow Protection

Camco Olympian 12-foot propane supply hose connects your motorhome to a 20 lb or 30 lb tank with soft-nose POL and 1/4-inch inverted flare fittings and built-in excess flow protection.

If you need a dependable, easy-to-install propane line for camping or overland travel, this Camco Olympian hose provides extended reach, compatible fittings, and a safety valve designed to limit uncontrolled fuel flow. The 12-foot length gives placement flexibility for tanks mounted beside or behind the vehicle, while the soft-nose POL and 1/4-inch inverted flare ends make it simple to attach to common RV regulators and tanks. Built to replace or work with Camco connection kits and tees, it’s intended for routine propane delivery—not for permanent underground or buried applications.

How does this hose improve safety when connecting a propane tank?

The hose includes built-in excess flow protection that reduces the risk of high-volume leaks if a connection fails or a line is severed. That device restricts flow automatically when very high demand or sudden pressure loss is detected, helping limit uncontrolled propane release. It’s an additional safety layer beyond the fitting seals and hose construction.

• Integrated excess flow valve limits uncontrolled gas flow
• Soft-nose POL reduces thread wear and eases hand-tightening
• Standard 1/4-inch inverted flare mates with most RV regulators
• Visual and tactile fittings make leak checks straightforward

Will this hose fit my RV and propane tanks?

This supply hose is designed to connect motorhomes or travel trailers to standard 20 lb or 30 lb propane cylinders, using a soft-nose male POL on one end and a 1/4-inch inverted flare on the other. It’s compatible with Camco accessories such as the Propane Connection Kit and the 4-Port Propane Tee, and it pairs with many common regulator types. Always verify your vehicle and tank threads before purchase.

• Soft-nose male POL fits most portable propane tanks
• 1/4-inch inverted flare connects to typical RV regulators
• Works as replacement for Camco #59123 configurations
• 12-foot reach accommodates various tank placements

How easy is installation and routine use?

Installation is straightforward: hand-start the soft-nose POL to the tank and tighten the 1/4-inch flare to the regulator according to manufacturer torque recommendations. The soft-nose design helps prevent cross-threading and simplifies engagement by hand; finish tightening with appropriate tools and complete a soap-bubble leak test before use. Routine storage and visual inspections are all that’s needed for ongoing reliability.

• Hand-fit soft-nose POL reduces installation effort
• Quick-connect style 1/4-inch flare for regulator attachment
• Perform simple leak test after every mount or reconnection
• Inspect hose and fittings for cracks, wear, or corrosion periodically

What are typical scenarios for using a 12-foot propane supply hose?

The extra length offers options when tank placement is restricted by storage compartments, vehicle layout, or campsite constraints. It’s useful for side-mounted tanks, rear hitch carriers, or external tank mounts where a short hose would be too tight. The hose also serves well as a replacement part for existing Camco setups where the original hose is damaged or missing.

• Side-mount or rear-mounted tanks that need added reach
• Replacement for worn or leaking supply lines in kits
• Temporary hookups at campsites where regulator location varies
• Integration with Camco 4-Port Tee for multi-appliance setups

Who this is for: RV owners, weekend campers, and fleet operators who want a reliable, longer propane supply hose with an integrated safety valve. Choose this Camco Olympian hose when you need straightforward compatibility with 20/30 lb tanks, a soft-nose POL connection for easier handling, and excess flow protection for added peace of mind during travel and storage.
