LP Propane Quick Connect Valve Kit","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eCamco's 59853 LP quick-connect kit gives you a tool-free way to hook up and drop off a low-pressure propane appliance. You get the female quick-connect valve with a built-in shut-off plus the full-flow male plug, both machined from solid brass. Thread it into your 1\/4-inch NPT propane line once, then connect and disconnect in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamco's 59853 is a two-piece propane quick-connect set for anyone who's tired of wrenching a hose on and off every time they want to run a portable grill, fire pit, or camp stove off their propane supply. You get two solid brass pieces that work as a pair. The valve side is 1\/4-inch female NPT on one end and a female quick-connect socket on the other, with a shut-off built right in. The plug side is 1\/4-inch male NPT to a male quick-connect, and it's a full-flow plug, so the coupling stays out of the way of your gas flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea is simple. Thread the female valve onto your fixed 1\/4-inch NPT propane line, the one coming off your regulator or manifold. Thread the male full-flow plug onto the appliance hose. Do that once, with gas-rated sealant on the NPT threads, and you're set. After that it's push, twist, done. The quick-connect coupling locks the plug into the socket, and the shut-off valve on the female half lets you stop the gas right at the connection point without walking back to the tank or the regulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat shut-off is the part people appreciate after the first season. Pull the plug and the valve closes the line at the coupling. So when you swap from the grill to the fire pit, or pack the appliance away for the night, you're not venting propane or fumbling with the main tank valve in the dark. It's the difference between a quick-connect that's just convenient and one that's genuinely easy to live with around a busy campsite or dock. And because the valve holds the supply side closed on its own, you can leave the fixed line pressurized and ready while the appliance end sits disconnected between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth halves are solid brass, and that matters on a gas fitting. Brass is the standard for propane service because it handles the gas without corroding and it cuts a clean thread that seals well. It also stands up to being connected and disconnected over and over, which is exactly what a quick-connect sees. There's no plastic collar to crack and no pot metal to strip out after a dozen uses. Buy it once and it keeps working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? RV owners running an external propane appliance off the trailer's low-pressure quick-connect port. Campers who want one propane source feeding a rotating cast of grills and heaters. Anyone with a 1\/4-inch NPT propane setup who's done threading fittings by hand every time. Portable grills, patio and fire-pit burners, camp stoves, catalytic heaters. If the appliance hose ends in a 1\/4-inch NPT connection, this kit adapts it to a tool-free quick-connect. It's just as at home at a tailgate or a backyard patio as it is on the road, anywhere you're feeding a portable burner off a fixed propane line and want to break the connection without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick word on fitment. Both ends of this set are 1\/4-inch NPT, so match it to a 1\/4-inch propane line and a 1\/4-inch appliance hose. The valve is the female half you leave on the supply side. The full-flow plug is the male half you put on the appliance. Because it's a matched quick-connect pair, the plug and socket seat together and hold. Wrap the NPT threads with gas-rated sealant tape, snug them down, and leak-check every joint with soapy water before you light anything. If you see bubbles, you've got a leak, so tighten it up and check again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a small part that solves a daily annoyance. Camco has been building RV and outdoor gear since 1966, and the 59853 is a straightforward, well-made piece of that lineup. Thread it on, connect your appliance, and stop wrestling hoses at the campsite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid brass valve and plug, the corrosion-resistant standard for propane service and repeated connect and disconnect cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale quick-connect valve with a built-in shut-off that closes the line at the coupling the moment you pull the plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-flow male plug keeps the coupling out of the gas path for unrestricted low-pressure propane flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch female NPT on the valve threads onto your regulator or manifold supply line\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch male NPT on the plug threads onto your appliance hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTool-free push-and-twist coupling connects and disconnects portable propane appliances in seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMatched quick-connect pair, the valve and plug ship together and seat securely\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits RV low-pressure propane appliances, portable grills, fire pits, patio heaters and camp stoves\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\u003eIs the Camco 59853 for propane?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
