Propane duplex valve connection.

[Interpim]

My fifth wheel came with 2 20lb propane tanks, but the compartments were big enough for 30lb tanks. With the upgrade in size, I had to move the duplex valve over to allow for the larger tank. The left pigtail is up pressing against the bulkhead a bit causing a little strain on the metal crimp, and I'm wondering if it will be an issue. If it is an issue, is there a right angle fitting I could buy to turn the hose up instead of coming straight out of the duplex valve. Thanks!

Don't see any kink so I think you will be ok. I just refilled one of mine and it is flexed pretty good also, just not pressed up against anything.
Seems to me I have read a few posts though of these hose assemblies failing. The replies seem to indicate it is common.

As long as the hose isn't crimped you're gonna be fine.

'things' touching 'things' related to gas is not a good idea; if you are talking about the fitting that goes into the regulator, then, yes, there are 45 and 90 degree elbow fittings you can use to redirect the line.

If you are concerned about the pigtail connections, I'd replace with the braided outer shell type. Can practically tie in a knot if needed. Also have cut a slit in scrap garden hose to wrap around gas lines and zip tie at areas of susceptible abrasion spots. I found my oem pigtail cracked and heat damaged when I could smell the LP while near the tanks area. Has.become part of my routine inspection since.
