Camco Mfg 59843 Lp Pigtail Propane Hose Connector 20in

Product Description

The CAMCO MFG 59843 is a 20-inch pigtail propane hose connector designed to link a propane regulator to a refillable LP tank. The connector features an ACME nut on one end and a 1/4-inch male NPT fitting on the other, making it compatible with newer-style 20 lb and 30 lb refillable propane tanks. Built-in excess flow protection and thermal protection are integrated directly into the connector, providing an added layer of safety during operation. This hose connector is a standard component in propane supply lines for RV, camper, and portable LP appliance setups. Installation is typically handled by RV service technicians or qualified gas fitters.

This connector is used in residential and recreational LP gas systems where a regulator with a 1/4-inch NPT inlet needs to interface with a standard refillable propane cylinder. Typical applications include campers and RVs running 20 lb or 30 lb refillable propane tanks. The ACME nut fitting is compatible with newer-style tank valves only and is not intended for use with older POL-style valve tanks. The 20-inch length provides adequate flexibility for routing in tight equipment compartments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified LP gas technician or RV service professional in accordance with applicable codes. Always close the propane tank valve and verify the line is depressurized before disconnecting or connecting any LP fittings. Apply an approved gas-rated thread sealant to NPT connections and check all joints for leaks with a listed leak-detection solution after pressurizing. Do not overtighten the ACME nut, as the connection relies on a proper hand-tight-plus-wrench seal.
