Camco 57629 Propane Grill Hose with Regulator, 6 ft
Camco 57629 Propane Grill Hose with Regulator, 6 ft — Product description
The Camco 57629 is a 6-foot low-pressure propane hose with a built-in regulator, made to run your grill straight off a 5 or 20-pound cylinder. Type 1 ACME nut on the tank end, female quick connect on the appliance end. It's the simple way to skip the little one-pound bottles and cook off a full-size tank instead.
If you've been feeding a grill off those little one-pound propane bottles, you already know the drill. They run dry fast, they add up over a season, and you always seem to hit empty halfway through dinner. The Camco 57629 fixes that. It's a 6-foot low-pressure hose with a regulator built right into the line, and it lets you run a low-pressure grill or appliance straight off a full-size 5 or 20-pound refillable cylinder.
The plumbing is straightforward. One end is a Type 1 ACME nut, the big hand-tight collar that's been the standard on refillable propane tanks for years. No wrench needed. You thread it on by hand, snug it down, and you're connected. The other end is a female quick connect that mates with the matching male fitting on your appliance. Push it on, feel the click, and you're set. Breaking it back down at the end of the weekend takes a few seconds.
The regulator is the part that matters most, and it's already in the line so you don't have to buy one separately. Propane leaves a bottle at a pressure that's far too high for a grill burner or a camp appliance to handle directly. The regulator steps that down to the steady low pressure these appliances are built to run on. That's what gives you an even flame instead of a burner that surges and sputters. This hose is rated for low-pressure appliance use only, so it's the right match for RV grills, portable tabletop grills, and similar low-pressure gear, and it's the wrong match for anything that calls for a high-pressure supply.
Six feet is a practical length. It's enough to set a 20-pound tank on the ground and still reach a grill up on a table or a rail mount, without leaving so much hose coiled around your feet that you trip on it. If you're rigging a setup you'll leave in place, run the hose so it isn't kinked or pinched, and keep it clear of anything hot. A kinked regulator hose chokes the flow and makes the flame lazy.
Worth being straight about one thing. This hose is built without thermal protection, which means there's no automatic thermal shutoff that cuts the gas in a fire. That doesn't make it unsafe, it just means you follow normal propane practice. Shut the gas off at the tank valve when you're done cooking, not only at the appliance. Test every new connection with a little soapy water and watch for bubbles before you light anything. And if you want an extra layer, plenty of folks add a separate inline shutoff valve in the run. It's cheap insurance and makes it easy to kill the gas fast.
So who's this for? RVers who are tired of buying disposable bottles and want to cook off the same size tank that feeds the rest of the rig. Campers and tailgaters who bring a full cylinder along. Anyone with a low-pressure grill or appliance that uses a quick-connect inlet and needs a regulated feed from a bigger bottle. It's a common upgrade, and once you've cooked off a 20-pounder for a season, the little bottles start to feel like a waste of money.
Camco has been building RV and outdoor gear since 1966, and their propane fittings are the sort of thing you buy once and forget about. The 57629 is a simple, honest piece of kit. Right connections, regulator already in the line, and a length that actually works for most setups. Keep it stored out of the weather when it's not in use and give it a quick look each season for cracks or wear before you hook it back up. Pair it with a full 5 or 20-pound cylinder and a low-pressure appliance and you're cooking.

Frequently asked questions
What size propane tanks does the Camco 57629 work with?
It's made to connect to a standard 5 or 20-pound refillable propane cylinder. The tank end is a Type 1 ACME nut, the hand-tight collar you'll find on those refillable bottles.
Does this hose come with a regulator?
Yes. The regulator is built into the hose, so you don't need to buy one separately. It drops the tank's pressure down to the low pressure that grills and camp appliances are designed to run on.
What's on the appliance end of the hose?
A female quick connect. It mates with the matching male quick-connect fitting on a low-pressure appliance, so you can push it on and pull it off in seconds.
How long is the hose?
6 feet. That's enough to set a tank on the ground and still reach a grill on a table or rail without a lot of extra hose underfoot.
Can I use this with a high-pressure burner or appliance?
No. It's rated for low-pressure appliance use only. High-pressure cookers and burners need a different, high-pressure supply, and this hose won't give them the flame they need.
Does it have a thermal shutoff?
No, this version is built without thermal protection, so there's no automatic thermal shutoff. Follow normal propane safety: shut the gas off at the tank when you're done, and leak-test new connections with soapy water. Some folks add a separate inline shutoff valve for extra peace of mind.
Do I need any tools to hook it up?
No tools. The Type 1 ACME nut threads on by hand and snugs down tight, and the quick connect on the other end just pushes on.
How do I check for leaks after connecting it?
Brush a little soapy water over the connections with the tank valve open and the appliance off. If bubbles start forming, you've got a leak. Tighten or reseat the connection and test again before you light anything.
