DozyAnt 4 Feet Propane Distribution Tree Extension Hose Assembly 1"x20 Female Throwaway Cylinder Thread x 1"x20 Male Throwaway Cylinder Thread - T and Y Connector

Works as intended.

We have a 35 foot sailboat.... it has an old alcohol stove that I cannot light or keep lit. My man has to light it for me and stay close by to adjust it. So we bought a little campstove and my McGyver repurposed an old boat stove to hold it in place. Problem occurred with the brass regulator; it wouldnt fit under the compartment. I first bought a hose that fitted to the brass regulator....eek it leaked and spit out propane when I tried to remove the tank. This one has a regulator built in and it in place of the original brass regulator. MUCH BETTER! now I can make cool meals on the boat without bothering my captain!!!

I purchased this about 6 months ago to extend my gas line from my griddle and keep it at a "safer" distance. I have used my grill several times with this hose connected. Last night I went to use my grill and the tank was empty which was weird because I do not use it very often. I noticed that the hose was very stiff and not very flexible due to the cold weather (maybe 40F). When I connected the new tank I immediate could hear, feel and smell a large amount of gas coming from the metal ferule that clamps the threaded end onto the end of the hose. In a panic I unscrewed the tank and after it releases all of the pressurized propane that was in the hose sprayed out at a distance of five feet for a few seconds. If I would have had an open flame anywhere near me it would have been a flame thrower situation. It was insanely scrary to think of what could have happened. I actually reconnected it to see if maybe it was screwed in incorrectly. Happened again. Just be cautious if the hose is connected before the regulator of your grill or the propane will come back out of the hose when disconnecting. And be advised that the durability of the hose is in question and the crimped on connectors were poorly installed.

While the hose does what it’s intended, the female end has to be attached first as the end does not turn. It’s a single piece connector and you have to twist the entire hose to screw it onto the tank tree. In all of the years I’ve used hoses like this I have never seen one that the connectors did not spin freely on both ends.

05/28/2020: I do not like the way the 1 lb. propane canister sits on the side of my camp stove. The canister sits at an awkward angle and is too close to the stove for my comfort. I have been searching for a while for a long propane hose that would connect my Camp Chef Everest camp stove to a 1 lb. propane canister with several feet of space between the two. I even contacted Camp Chef but, like every one else, they only had long hoses to use with bulk propane tanks. (As a newbie to camping, I decided to start with the small canister & I was given 3 by a friend). Finally, I came across this Dozyant 5 ft. Propane Distribution Extension Hose on Amazon. What can I say, "a picture is worth a thousand words." Right there on the product page is a picture of the extension hose connected to a Camp Chef stove and a 1 lb. propane canister. Finally, a Company that remembered there are people like me who have 1 lb. propane canisters & want a hose to move it further from the stove. Thank you Dozyant. I decided to try the hose to brew my morning coffee since camping is on hold due to covid-19. The hose connected easily and securely to the regulator (which came with & has to be connected to the stove first) and the propane canister. No propane leaks and the canister reaches & sits level on the floor with hose length left over to move the canister further away from the table if I want to. Yes, I did this indoors but, I was very careful. The hose feels strong and durable. If I interpreted the description correctly, it can be used with bulk propane tanks too. I expect this hose to last for a long time with proper handling (carefully unlooping it, taking my time connecting it, putting it away & storing it properly when not in use). In my opinion, the Dozyant 5 ft. Propane Distribution Extension Hose is worth the money.
