Type 1 ACME nut on one end, 1\/4-inch inverted male flare on the other, UL\/CGA approved. It's the pigtail you replace when an old one starts to crack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you camp or travel in an RV, the little pigtail hose that runs from your propane cylinder to the regulator is one of those parts you never think about until it starts weeping gas. The Camco 59153 is that hose. It's a 24-inch propane feed hose with a Type 1 ACME nut on one end and a 1\/4-inch inverted male flare on the other, built to connect a standard refillable propane cylinder to the regulator on an RV or travel trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what the two ends do. The Type 1 ACME nut is the large fitting that threads onto the valve of any modern QCC-style propane bottle. You spin it on by hand, no wrench, and it seats against a rubber face that seals as you snug it down. The other end, the 1\/4-inch inverted male flare, threads into the inlet side of your two-stage regulator. That flare connection is the standard you'll find on most RV regulator inlets, so if you're replacing an old cracked pigtail, this one drops right in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24-inch length is the sweet spot for a lot of trailer A-frames. It gives you enough slack to reach from the cylinder up to a regulator mounted on the frame or the propane tray, without a big loop of extra hose flopping around. On a dual-tank setup with an automatic changeover regulator, you'd run two of these, one to each bottle, so keep that in mind if you're rebuilding both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes on what this hose is and isn't. It comes without a regulator, so this is the connecting hose only, meant to replace a worn pigtail or add a second one to a changeover setup. And this particular model is built without thermal protection. Thermal protection is a heat-activated shutoff that some pigtails carry for extra safety in a fire. If your regulator or setup already handles that, or you simply want a straight replacement feed hose, the 59153 does the job. If you specifically want a thermal-protected pigtail, Camco makes one in a longer length, so match the part to what your rig calls for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is about as simple as propane work gets. Close the cylinder valve first, always. Thread the ACME nut onto the bottle by hand and snug it firm. Thread the flare end into the regulator inlet and tighten it with a wrench, since flare fittings seal on metal-to-metal contact and need to be properly seated. Then open the valve slowly and check every joint with a little soapy water. Bubbles mean a leak, no bubbles means you're good to fire up the furnace, the stove, or the water heater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hose carries a UL\/CGA approval, so it's built and tested to the standards that matter for LP gas in RVs. That's the kind of thing you don't want to cheap out on. Propane is safe when the gear is right and the connections are tight, and a quality pigtail is a small part that quietly does an important job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? First-time trailer owners who've noticed a propane smell around the tank and traced it to a cracked pigtail. Full-timers who keep a spare in the storage bay because rubber pigtails do age out, and they'd rather swap one in the driveway than at a campsite. Anybody rebuilding a propane tray after buying a used rig. It's a wear part, and having the right one on hand beats limping along on a hose that's seen ten summers of UV and road heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne last tip from the campground. Give your pigtails a look every season. Flex the rubber, check for cracks near the fittings, and replace them if they're stiff or checked. They're inexpensive, and a fresh 24-inch Camco pigtail buys you a lot of peace of mind for the price of a couple gallons of gas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 1 ACME nut end hand-threads onto the valve of standard refillable QCC propane cylinders, no wrench needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch inverted male flare end connects to the inlet of an RV or trailer two-stage propane regulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e24-inch length reaches from the cylinder to a frame- or tray-mounted regulator with just enough slack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold without a regulator, so it's a direct replacement for a worn or cracked pigtail or a second hose on a dual-tank setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt without thermal protection, a straight feed hose for setups that don't need a heat-activated shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL\/CGA approved for LP gas service in RVs and trailers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRubber pigtail construction sized for standard RV and trailer propane systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamshell packaged so it stores easily as a spare in the bay\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\u003eWhat does the Camco 59153 pigtail hose connect?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt connects a standard refillable propane cylinder to the propane regulator on an RV or trailer.
