One end is a Type 1 ACME nut that spins on by hand, the other a 1\/4-inch inverted male flare for your regulator inlet. It's UL and CGA approved, and it's a smart spare to keep in the rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Camco 59163 is a 30-inch propane feed hose, the kind of pigtail that quietly does one important job: it carries LP gas from your propane cylinder to the regulator on your RV or travel trailer. One end threads onto the tank, the other lands on your regulator inlet, and once it's tight and leak-checked you don't think about it again. That's exactly what you want from a propane connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how the two ends break down. The cylinder side uses a Type 1 ACME nut, the big black hand-wheel connector you'll recognize from any modern refillable LP bottle. It's also called a QCC1 fitting. You spin it on by hand, no wrench needed, and the acme thread seals against the tank valve. The regulator side is a 1\/4-inch inverted male flare, the common inlet on RV two-stage regulators. That end does take a wrench to snug down properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn fitment, the Type 1 ACME nut connects to standard refillable propane cylinders that use a Type 1 valve, the same style you'll find on common 20-pound and 30-pound LP bottles used for RVs, campers, and grills. If your cylinder has that familiar large threaded collar with the internal acme threads, this hose will spin right on. The 1\/4-inch inverted flare on the other end matches the inlet found on most standard RV propane regulators. Check your regulator inlet before ordering, but for the vast majority of trailer and motorhome setups, this is the pigtail that fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who reaches for this hose? Usually it's a boater or camper replacing a tired pigtail. Rubber propane hoses don't last forever. They crack, they get brittle in the sun, the fittings corrode, and eventually you catch a whiff of gas or fail a leak test. When that happens you don't patch it, you swap it. A fresh 30-inch feed hose gets you back in service, and the extra length gives you room to route the line cleanly instead of pulling it taut across a sharp bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes before you buy. This one comes without a regulator, so it's meant to connect to the regulator you already have on the rig. And this specific version, the 59163, is built without thermal protection. It's a straightforward feed hose, not the safety-shutoff style. If your setup calls for a hose with built-in thermal protection, Camco makes a version that adds it, so check your requirements first. We'd rather you order the right part once than guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is simple, but do it right. Make sure the cylinder valve is fully closed before you touch anything. Thread the ACME nut on by hand until it's firmly seated, no tools, no cheater bar. Then connect the flare end to your regulator and tighten it with a wrench. Open the tank slowly, then brush a little soapy water on both connections. If you see bubbles growing, you've got a leak, so shut the gas and re-seat the fitting. No bubbles means you're good to cook, heat, or run whatever appliance is downstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 30-inch length is the sweet spot for a lot of trailer tongues and RV propane compartments. It's long enough to reach from a bottle on the A-frame to a regulator mounted a little way off, without leaving a big loop of slack flopping around. Route it away from the exhaust, away from anything that gets hot, and away from edges that could chafe the line over thousands of road miles. A hose that rubs is a hose that eventually leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hose is UL and CGA approved, which is the certification you want to see on anything carrying LP gas. Camco has been making RV and camping gear since 1966, and propane accessories are bread-and-butter for them. It ships in a clamshell package, ready to hang on a pegboard or drop in your parts bin as a spare. Honestly, keeping a spare pigtail in the rig isn't a bad idea. Propane problems always seem to show up on a Friday night at the campground, and having the right hose on hand beats a weekend without heat or a hot meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-inch feed hose length gives clean routing from an A-frame cylinder to your regulator without pulling the line taut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 1 ACME nut (QCC1) connects hand-tight to standard refillable LP cylinders, no tools needed on the tank side\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch inverted male flare fits the inlet on most standard RV and trailer two-stage regulators\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComes without a regulator, so it connects to the propane regulator already on your rig\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt without thermal protection, a straightforward feed hose for standard cylinder-to-regulator connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL and CGA approved for LP gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnects a propane cylinder to an RV or trailer regulator for cooking, heating, and running propane appliances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamshell packaging, easy to store as a spare pigtail in the rig\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 59163 hose connect?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt connects a propane cylinder to the propane regulator on your RV or trailer.
