It steps cylinder pressure down to a steady 11 inches water column and flows up to 160,000 BTU per hour, plenty for your stove, furnace, and water heater. Female 1\/4 inch NPT inlet, 3\/8 inch NPT outlet. No shutoff or hose, so you match those to your own setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Camco 59313 is a two-stage propane regulator for RV and trailer LP systems. Its whole job is to take the high, swinging pressure coming off your propane cylinders and knock it down to the low, steady pressure your appliances actually want. Every RV that runs propane needs one of these somewhere between the tanks and the gas line, and when the old one starts acting up, this is a straight, no-drama replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo stages is the part that matters. A single-stage regulator does the whole pressure drop in one step, which works but gets twitchy as your tank level and outside temperature change. This one splits the job. The first stage brings cylinder pressure down to an intermediate level, then the second stage holds the final output at a steady 11 inches of water column. That's the standard low pressure your stove, furnace, water heater, and fridge are all set up to burn. You get a cleaner, more consistent flame and far fewer problems on cold mornings when a single-stage unit tends to sag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a vertical-mount regulator, so it's built to sit upright with the vent pointing down the way it's meant to. Mount it right and rain and road spray stay out of the vent. The inlet is 1\/4 inch female NPT and the outlet is 3\/8 inch female NPT. Standard threads, nothing exotic, but do yourself a favor and use a proper gas-rated pipe sealant on the fittings instead of tape. Propane threads want sealant made for the job so you don't chase leaks later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapacity is 160,000 BTU per hour. That's a healthy number for a typical RV. Add up your furnace, a three-burner cooktop, the water heater, and the fridge running on gas, and you're still comfortably under that ceiling even with several appliances lit at once. So you're not going to starve the system on a cold night when everything's asking for gas at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more note on the two-stage design and cold weather. When temperatures drop, propane pressure in the cylinder falls, and a single-stage regulator feels every bit of that swing. The two-stage layout buffers it, so your appliances see a stable 11 inches of water column whether the tank is full and warm or half empty on a frosty morning. For anyone who camps into the shoulder seasons or lives in their rig, that steadiness is the difference between a furnace that cycles cleanly and one that nuisance-trips or burns dirty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCouple of things to know before you order. This regulator comes without an integral shut-off valve, so if your setup relies on a shutoff at the regulator you'll want to add a quarter-turn valve downstream. It also ships without a hose or pigtail. That's actually normal for a replacement regulator, since pigtail length and end fittings vary from rig to rig. You just match the propane line and connectors to your own tank setup. It's approved for RV use and comes in retail packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Travel trailers, fifth wheels, motorhomes, truck campers, anything with a standard dual-cylinder or single-cylinder LP setup that runs low-pressure appliances. If your current regulator is the vertical two-stage type with the vent facing down, the 59313 drops right into that role. Match the inlet and outlet threads to your existing pigtail and gas line and you're set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly, a regulator is one of those parts you don't think about until it quits. When you start smelling gas, seeing yellow lazy flames, or your furnace won't hold a steady burn, the regulator is often the culprit, especially if the old one has been through a few winters. Swapping in the 59313 is a job most handy owners can knock out in an afternoon with a couple of wrenches and some sealant. If you're not comfortable working on a propane system, have a tech do it and leak-check every joint with soapy water before you fire anything up. Propane's simple to live with when it's set up right, and this two-stage regulator is a big part of keeping it that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo-stage design delivers a steady 11 inch water column output for a clean, consistent appliance burn\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e160,000 BTU per hour capacity handles the furnace, cooktop, water heater, and fridge running at once\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch female NPT inlet connects to your propane supply pigtail\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch female NPT outlet feeds the low-pressure gas line to your appliances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVertical mount with a downward-facing vent keeps rain and road spray out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecond stage buffers cold-weather pressure swings so the flame stays stable on frosty mornings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApproved for RV use and ready as a direct replacement for a worn vertical two-stage regulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips in retail packaging, without shut-off valve or hose so you match them to your setup\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 a two-stage propane regulator do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt drops the high, changing pressure from your propane cylinders down in two steps and holds a steady low output for your appliances.
