Flame King 96-inch Propane Plastic Hose Assembly 3/8″ ID Female Flare

Description

Product Overview

The Flame King 96‑inch Propane Plastic Hose Assembly is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of mobile living and travel trailer applications. Constructed from high‑grade thermo‑plastic material, the hose offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and temperature extremes, ensuring a long service life even in harsh outdoor environments. The 3/8‑inch internal diameter provides ample flow capacity for propane delivery while maintaining a compact profile that fits easily within confined spaces.

Integrated into the assembly is a precision‑machined 3/8‑inch male pipe thread (MPT) that mates seamlessly with standard regulator fittings, and a 1/2‑inch female flare end that connects directly to permanent gas piping. This dual‑end configuration eliminates the need for additional adapters, reducing potential leak points and simplifying installation. The hose is rated for a maximum pressure of 350 psi, making it suitable for both low‑ and high‑pressure propane systems.

Temperature performance is a critical factor for RV owners who travel across diverse climates. This hose operates reliably from –40 °F (‑40 °C) up to 140 °F (96 °C), allowing it to function in winter cabins, desert excursions, and everything in between. The assembly complies with CSA and UL569 (CAN 8.3‑1) certifications, confirming that it meets rigorous safety standards for propane gas distribution.

Usage

Designed specifically for recreational vehicles, travel trailers, and fifth‑wheel setups, this hose serves as the critical link between a two‑stage propane regulator and the permanent gas piping that supplies appliances such as stoves, ovens, water heaters, and furnaces. Its flexible yet durable construction enables easy routing through tight chassis compartments, under floor panels, and around structural supports without kinking or collapsing.

Beyond RVs, the hose is also well‑suited for portable propane generators, outdoor cooking stations, and temporary workshop setups where a reliable, high‑pressure propane line is required. The 96‑inch length provides ample reach while still being manageable for storage and transport. Whether you are a full‑time traveler, a weekend adventurer, or a professional installer, the Flame King hose delivers consistent performance in a variety of real‑world scenarios.

FAQ

What type of propane regulator is compatible with this hose?

The hose is designed to work with standard two‑stage propane regulators that feature a 3/8‑inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection. This includes most RV‑specific regulators as well as many portable and stationary units used in camping or outdoor applications.

Can this hose be used for other gases besides propane?

While the hose is optimized for propane, its chemical resistance and pressure rating make it suitable for other inert gases such as nitrogen or argon, provided the operating pressure does not exceed 350 psi and the temperature range remains within the specified limits.

How do I install the hose to ensure a leak‑free connection?

Begin by turning off the propane supply and depressurizing the system. Apply a thin layer of PTFE thread seal tape to the male pipe thread end, then securely tighten the connection using a wrench. For the female flare end, ensure the flare is clean and use a proper flare nut to achieve a snug fit. After installation, perform a leak test with a soapy water solution or a propane leak detector before re‑pressurizing the system.

Is the hose suitable for permanent installation in a motorhome?

Yes, the hose’s durability, temperature tolerance, and certification make it an excellent choice for permanent gas lines in motorhomes and travel trailers. Its flexibility allows it to be routed through tight spaces, and the 96‑inch length provides ample reach for most interior layouts.

What warranty does Flame King offer on this hose assembly?

Flame King provides a one‑year limited warranty covering any defects in material or workmanship. If a defect is identified, the product can be returned for a replacement or repair, subject to the terms outlined in the warranty documentation.
