If not, then the safety valve is stopping the propane. A "hot" valve means it is open for propane to flow.

“

I would describe it as TOO hot to touch.
I almost had a nervous breakdown when I was trouble shooting a
MAJOR propane leak.
I almost had THE BIG one when I found the leak.
We lost 2/3 of a tank on the way home (50 miles) from picking up our “NEW” motor home.
Whoever filled the tank forgot to tighten the hose.
Wouldn’t leak sitting still, but any vibration would send a plume of propane straight at the
HOT valve.
