Propane quick connect

[teamgl]

I just purchased an outside stove that I plan on hooking to the quick connect... to accomplish this I need a male quick connection. (I have all the necessary parts except the male quick connection.)

Question: Are all RV propane quick connections the same size??? and what size should I purchase to work on my Forest River (Flagstaff)???

BTW this is the stove that we will use outside (nothing fancy, but it'll save using those 1 pound propane bottles)

Thanks for your help.

Does the female quick connect not have any sizes marked on it?

[Nigels]

My female quick connect has a load of stuff written on it, not sure what it means, however if you write it all down and go armed with the info to your camping stove supplier you should be able to get the correct male part.

How do you propose to connect the male part to your stove? I see your stove comes with a rubber hose how does that attach to the inlet pipe on the stove?

My question is about the other end..... The manufacturer took care of the connection to the stove. I am looking to take care of the connection to the camper.



i look forward to your constructive feedback.

I was unable to find one went to two different RV places and Two different Propane places and no luck so I went and made one I know that you don't have tools for this but If I were you I would remove fitting from camper and take to dealer and try to match it.

seeing that it's a Camp Chef stovetop, it should be a low pressure one and will work with the trailer's pigtail.
Camp Chef is the only retail company that i've seen, that makes a low pressure stove, since nearly all the others are high pressure ones and can't work with the trailer's low pressure pigtail.

he might be assuming that it also is a high pressure stove.

Camp Chef makes a quick connect hose for their stoves so that may be used with the trailer connection. Go to the Camp Chef web site. This hose will connect from the trailer connection to the stove. No regulator should be necessary as the trailer regulator is filling that function. Here is the link to the site. RV connection hose - Camp Chef - The Way to Cook Outdoors

Now that is industrious, excellent work! I agree take it off the camper and go down to the store and match it up!

I bought that hose and guess what? wouldn't work the fitting on fifth was different lenght at the tip would not plug in so I returned it. According to propane company I went to said there are just to many different configrations to keep that many in his stock so I just got out my calipers and made one.

That is useful info... is the female LP connection to the forest river campers 1/4 " NPT???? if so that is the fitting size that I am looking for. I have all the other parts, hose etc.

BTW -- the reason for purchasing this stove was the fact that it works on LP gas.....11" W.C.

Most other stoves will not work in this application.

Nice work, but my metal whittlin' ain't what it used to be. I picked up a quick connect from the local propane shop for $9.00. Because this was such a a "mysterious part that no-one knew anything about" I picked up two.

'course it'll save on those over priced 1 lb bottles.

It's a green thing, don't you know.

thanks for the feedback, everyone who posted to this thread....
