It runs a Type 1 ACME nut on the cylinder end and a 1\/4-inch inverted male flare on the regulator end. No regulator, no thermal protection, just a clean high-pressure feed hose that gets gas from the bottle to your propane system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Camco 59073 is a 20-inch propane feed hose that connects a propane cylinder to the propane regulator on your RV or travel trailer. One end is a Type 1 ACME nut that threads onto the cylinder's service valve by hand. The other end is a 1\/4-inch inverted male flare that ties into your regulator's inlet. It's a simple part, but it's the link that carries gas from the bottle into the rest of your propane system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's be clear about what this hose does and doesn't do. It's a feed hose, not a regulator. There's no regulator built in, and there's no thermal protection either. So it's meant to run from the cylinder to your existing propane regulator, never straight to an appliance. Propane leaves the bottle at tank pressure, and that pressure has to drop through a regulator before it reaches your stove, furnace, or water heater. Hook a cylinder directly to an appliance and you'll over-pressure it. This hose lives on the high-pressure side, between the tank and the regulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Type 1 ACME nut is the large collared nut you've seen on modern 20, 30, and 40 pound propane cylinders. It hand-tightens onto the cylinder valve, no wrench needed, and seats against an internal seal. Turn it clockwise by hand until it's snug. Most Type 1 valves have a built-in excess-flow feature, so open the valve slowly after you connect. Crack it open too fast and the excess-flow can trip, choking the gas down to a trickle. Open it slow and you're fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other end, the 1\/4-inch inverted male flare, is the one that needs a wrench. It threads into the inlet on a standard two-stage RV regulator. Inverted flare fittings seal on the machined flare face, not on tape or pipe dope, so you don't need thread sealant there. Snug it with a wrench, but don't gorilla it. Overtightening a flare can crack the seat and give you a leak that's worse than the one you were trying to prevent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 20 inches, this is a short pigtail. It's sized for setups where the regulator sits close to the cylinders, like the A-frame propane tray on a travel trailer where an auto-changeover regulator mounts right between two bottles. If your regulator is farther away, measure first. A hose that's too short forces a tight bend, and one that's too long just sags and rubs. You want a gentle route with no kinks and nothing chafing on a sharp edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny time you connect a propane hose, leak-test it. Brush a 50\/50 mix of dish soap and water over both connections, open the valve slowly, and watch. Growing bubbles mean gas is escaping and you need to reseat the fitting. No bubbles, and you're good to cook. Propane hoses don't last forever, either. Sun, ozone, and road vibration age the rubber, so give it a look every season and replace it if you see cracking, cuts, or a fitting that keeps weeping. It's a cheap part, and it's the wrong place to gamble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more note on fit. The Type 1 ACME connection is the current standard for refillable cylinders, so it'll mate up with just about any recent 20, 30, or 40 pound bottle. If you're working with an older cylinder that still has a plain POL valve, check the valve type before you order, because a Type 1 nut won't thread onto a bare POL outlet. Match the hose to the tank and the regulator on both ends and the install takes just a few minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one ships in a clamshell package as a single hose. No regulator, no adapters, no tools included. Whether you're replacing a tired old pigtail on the trailer or tossing a spare in the toolbox, the 59073 is a straightforward Type 1 to 1\/4-inch flare feed hose that does one job and does it cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20-inch length: a short pigtail sized for regulators mounted close to the cylinders, like a trailer's A-frame propane tray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 1 ACME nut: hand-tightens onto modern 20, 30, and 40 pound cylinder valves, no wrench needed on that end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch inverted male flare: threads into a standard two-stage RV regulator inlet and seals on the flare face, no thread sealant required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo built-in regulator: connects on the high-pressure side between the cylinder and your existing regulator, the way an LP feed hose should.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo thermal protection: a plain feed hose for a standard cylinder-to-regulator run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamshell package, sold as a single hose: an easy replacement for a worn pigtail or a spare for the toolbox.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with auto-changeover and single-tank setups: routes gas from the bottle to the regulator on RVs and travel trailers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes this hose come with a regulator?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. The 59073 is a feed hose only.
