Description
Product Overview
The Flame King 60‑inch propane hose is engineered for demanding RV and travel trailer applications where reliability and safety are paramount. Constructed from high‑grade thermo‑plastic material, the hose delivers a flexible yet robust 3/8″ inner diameter that resists abrasion, cracking, and chemical exposure. With a maximum pressure rating of 350 psi and a temperature operating range from –40°F to 140°F, it maintains performance in extreme climates, from desert heat to winter freeze. The integrated 3/8″ MNPT to 1/2″ female flare swivel provides a secure, leak‑free connection between a two‑stage regulator and the permanent gas piping system, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional fittings.
Designed to meet both CSA and UL569 (CAN 8.3‑1) certification standards, this hose undergoes rigorous testing for propane gas service, ensuring compliance with industry safety regulations. The hose’s lightweight design—measuring just 13.05 ounces for a 60‑inch length—facilitates easy handling, routing, and storage, while the smooth exterior finish minimizes snagging on chassis components. Its chemical‑resistant composition also protects against exposure to common cleaning agents and fuel additives, extending service life and reducing maintenance intervals. The product’s best‑seller rank of #8 in Industrial Chemical Hoses reflects its popularity among professionals who demand dependable performance.
The Flame King hose’s dimensions—60 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.1 inch thick—provide ample reach for most RV gas line configurations without excessive bulk. The 3/8″ ID ensures sufficient flow capacity for typical propane appliances, including stoves, ovens, water heaters, and furnaces, while the 1/2″ female flare end matches standard RV fittings, enabling quick swaps and upgrades. The hose’s flexibility allows it to be routed around tight corners and structural members, reducing the need for additional elbows or clamps. This adaptability translates into faster installation times and lower labor costs for service technicians and DIY owners alike.

Usage
When installing a new propane system in a recreational vehicle or travel trailer, the Flame King hose serves as the critical link between the regulator and the interior gas distribution network. Its durable construction tolerates the vibration and movement inherent to mobile environments, preventing fatigue cracks that could lead to leaks. Users typically attach the hose to the regulator’s outlet using the 3/8″ MNPT thread, then secure the opposite end to the existing 1/2″ female flare inlet on the gas manifold. This straightforward connection process eliminates the need for custom adapters, making the hose an ideal choice for both professional installers and weekend hobbyists.
Beyond initial installation, the hose excels in routine maintenance and seasonal servicing. Because the hose can be easily disconnected and re‑connected, technicians can quickly inspect for wear, replace sections, or upgrade components without disassembling the entire gas system. Its resistance to temperature fluctuations ensures that the hose remains pliable in cold weather, allowing technicians to manipulate it without risking brittleness. Additionally, the hose’s compliance with CSA and UL569 standards provides peace of mind during inspections, as it satisfies the safety criteria required by most RV manufacturers and regulatory bodies.

FAQ
Can this hose be used with gases other than propane?
While the hose is optimized for propane, its chemical‑resistant thermo‑plastic material is compatible with natural gas and other inert gases, provided the operating pressure does not exceed 350 psi and the connections match the specified fittings.
What is the recommended method for securing the hose to prevent movement?
Use standard hose clamps rated for 350 psi around the swivel fittings, and route the hose along existing chassis brackets or conduit clips. This prevents vibration‑induced wear and keeps the hose securely in place.
How often should the hose be inspected or replaced?
For typical RV usage, inspect the hose annually for signs of cracking, discoloration, or wear. Replace the hose if any damage is observed or if it has been in service for more than ten years, as material fatigue can develop over time.
Is the hose compatible with both 120 V and 240 V propane appliances?
The hose’s flow capacity is independent of appliance voltage; it works with any propane appliance regardless of electrical rating, as long as the appliance’s gas demand does not exceed the hose’s 350 psi rating.
