High Pressure Hoses with Acme Connectors
Propane leaves the container through a hose with an ACME
connector attached to the bottle, also having a “flow-limiting device”
designed to sense excessive flow. Two functions of this device: 1.
should the container valve be opened too quickly this device may
close, stopping the flow of propane. 2. Should there be a rupture in
propane line, it will reduce the flow to a maximum of 10 (SCFH)
Standard Cubic feet per Hour.
This device will equalize normal flow in about 5 seconds, generally
not noticeable.
Main Supply Hose – Low Pressure
The main supply hose will be attached
from the regulator to the brass manifold
fitting in the frame of the coach. The
swivel brass nut on the main hose will be your final attachment.
There are several things to remember each time the container is
removed:
1. Be sure ALL fittings are tight. Always use two OPEN END
wrenches for brass connections.
2. Be sure ALL connections are tested for leakage.
3. Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane to
flow-limiting device causing propane “freeze”.
4. Listen carefully – a “hissing” sound longer than one second may
indicate a propane leak. Close valve and search for leak.
If you have double bottles and a standard regulator on your RV, use only
one bottle at a time. Otherwise the gas supply will be drawn equally from
both bottles until supply has been totally exhausted. Using one bottle until
it is empty, then using the second bottle will allow you to fill the empty
bottle at your convenience without being totally out of propane.
