Panther FVF-897 RV Type 1 Pigtail Rubber Propane Hose - 15"

Type 1 propane hoses facilitating the safe and efficient transfer of propane gas from the tank to the RV's inline low pressure regulator. These hoses ensure that propane, which is commonly used to power cooking stoves, heaters, refrigerators, and other appliances, is delivered in a controlled and reliable manner. However, with prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions, these hoses can gradually deteriorate. Regular inspections for signs of wear, such as cracks, brittleness, or stiffness, which indicate that the material has started to degrade.

The Type 1 propane hose is equipped with a QCC1 ACME connection on one end, designed to attach securely to the propane tank's valve. This connection type is widely used due to its ease of use, featuring a handwheel that allows for quick and tool-free attachment. The other end of the hose terminates in a Male Inverted Flare 1/4" connection, which connects directly to the regulator. This dual-connection design ensures a tight seal and reliable gas flow from the tank to the RV's propane regulator.

Constructed from durable rubber, the Type 1 propane hose offers several advantages over thermoplastic alternatives. Rubber hoses are more flexible, especially in cold temperatures, reducing the risk of cracking or kinking during use. This flexibility enhances the hose's longevity and reliability in various environmental conditions. Additionally, this hose is rated at 350 PSI, providing a high level of durability and safety under standard operating pressures. The rubber material, combined with the hose's high-pressure rating, ensures that it can withstand the demands of regular RV use without compromising performance.

The hose is CSA approved, meeting the stringent safety and performance standards set by the Canadian Standards Association. This approval is a key requirement for products used in RVs, as it ensures that the hose has been rigorously tested and certified for safe use in propane systems. Furthermore, the CSA approval makes the hose compliant with the standards set by the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), affirming its suitability and safety for use in RV applications.
