Description

Panther BV5042-6 RV Brass Propane Shut-Off Valve 3/8" Flare x 3/8" Flare
The Panther Propane Shut-Off Valve is designed to quickly halt the gas flow in emergencies or during maintenance. This valve is constructed from C.S.A. Certified forged brass, ensuring its suitability and safety for use with both Natural and Propane Gas (vapor), and offering exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Featuring 3/8" flare fittings on both ends, it facilitates seamless integration into the propane supply line. The forged brass ball valve provides reliable and easy operation, essential for controlling the gas supply and enhancing the overall safety of your RV's propane setup.
Forged Brass
Forged brass fittings are trusted for their superior strength and corrosion resistance. Used to connect propane gas lines to various appliances such as stoves, heaters, and refrigerators, Brass Fittings ensure a secure and durable connection. The resilience of forged brass allows it to withstand the rigorous conditions of RV travel, including vibrations and thermal expansions, thus maintaining a safe and efficient fuel flow to enhance the RV living experience.
SAE 45° Flare Connection
The Panther Fittings utilize the reliable SAE 45° Flare standard, ensuring a tight and leak-free seal crucial for high-pressure propane systems. This type of fitting creates a metal-to-metal contact, making it highly effective at preventing gas leaks. The 45-degree flare angle is specifically designed to match the sealing surfaces perfectly, offering a connection that combines ease of assembly with the reliability needed for safety in propane gas applications.
When installing flare fittings in RV propane systems, it is crucial not to use sealants or Teflon tape, unlike with NPT fittings. Flare fittings are engineered to seal through direct metal-to-metal contact between the flared tube end and the fitting's conical surface. Using sealants or Teflon tape can disrupt this contact, leading to improper seals and potential leaks.
RVIA Compliant
This fitting meets the requirements set by the RVIA and adheres to NFPA 1192 standards. These requirements ensure that each fitting is built to handle the specific needs of RV propane systems, promoting peace of mind through enhanced safety and quality assurance.
