LP hose needed

[23hotrodr]

I would like to get a LP hose that has a male disposeable canister fitting on one end (center prong with internal threaded nut) and either the internal left-hand thread or large external nut fitting that will screw onto 20 lb bottle and is 5' or 6' long. I can't seem to find this configuration in hoses. Anyone know if such a hose exists? Thanks-- Mick

I leave my Extend-A-Stay hose connected all the time and just coil it up using a short bungee cord to secure it for travel. I use a POL cap to make sure the POL fitting doesn't leak.

You are probably correct.

Be careful, there are both high pressure and low pressure propane quick connects. Makre sure the propane quick connect is rated for high pressure along with the hose. A lot of the quick connects and hoses for trailers are used after the regulator for outside low pressure accessories. The quick connects are different so you don't blow up low pressure hoses plugging them into high pressure lines.

Have you verified that the connection will allow for propane to flow into this connection being it is an outlet?

No- Without the proper hose setup, I don't have a way to test it. Since it appears to be the same as the fitting on a disposeable bottle and those allow for reverse flow to refill, it should.

Another concern would be that although the Coleman hose and the Coleman style adapters are rated for high pressure, they probably will not perform a high enough flow to keep everything inside operating.

You could use an adapter plus a hose such as the following:

Propane adapter


12 foot hose

OP: Yu asked for a male cannister fitting. Tom_M posted a female.
What are you trying to do, feed an appliance or refill the one pound disposable bottles?

I'm trying to get a hose to connect from a 20 lb bottle to my extend-a-stay connection via the disposeable canister connection instead of having to use wrenches on the inverted flare connection.

I guess I could use one of those adapters to refill 1 lb cans connected to the 20 lb and use a hose with female and male disposeable can connectors on opposite ends.

I may be confusing which of the disposeable connections are male and female. I thought the one on the 1 lb bottle is female since connection penetrates it.

For just about anything needed for propane (high or low pressure) and natural gas fittings, hoses and adapters try:

Yes, this one is real close. Correct ends but could use a couple feet longer. Thanks-- Mick

I bought this for my home Blackstone.

But on edit it's not what the op is looking for. Sorry
