Is it equipped with standard RV dump hose fittings? Will it withstand 25degree temps without cracking if used on daily basis yr round? 11/12/14 by BB

My friend who bought says it hooks up to their motor home fine. He has never used it in extreme temperatures but does store it in a heated area that is in a frigid Midwest state.

This hose and fittings were designed to plumb This hose and fitting is designed to connect your propane tank on your camper/RV to a grill rather than bringing a separate tank to use on your grill/or gas appliance. I would think if you have an external tank you would remove the empty tank and hook up the full tank.

The hole is about one inch in diameter, large enough to run a garden hose through the center. That was my use for this product, to protect my RV water line from freezing without the use of heat tape. The coldest it got this winter was about 25 degrees.

this answer is similiar to the other answer you have gotten. my hose was a 5/8 inch industrial apex that can withstand up to 180 degrees. i live in tucson, arizona and the summer afternoons can cause any water left in the hose to 150 degrees or hotter.these washers will fit any typical garden hose coupler or any hose bid that is standard for yard or garden use.

The ones I got were brass and had renewable (you could take them apart) ends. Inevitably, you'll get a hole somewhere. If it's close to the end, open the fitting (takes a large hex wrench or a big screwdriver inside, and a grabber-type tool for the outside), remove the stub, clip off the leaky end and remake. I will say that BOTH the 25 and 50 foot models, despite being inside all but a couple inch slot (they're deck mounted on a boat) in the 4" pipe they're stored in, developed multiple pinhole leaks in a couple of years along the exposed portion. So, these hoses aren't very UV robust. Keep them in the shade. Also resist the temptation to just let go of them when you've finished stretching it. They stow very neatly, if you'll just take a moment to restore the curl, even if you don't have some sort of dedicated storage device for it. Otherwise you'll have a major tangle, and an easy time of developing a kink (no water!) the next time.

This BBQ comes with a quick connector fitting like the ones used on air compressors. My trailer was plumbed from the factory to have these hookups.

I have 6 50 ft rv hoses that have been out in the sun all summer with no deterioration that I can tell. They're perfect so far. I'm in Ca also, with high 90, low 100 temps.

Yes, the one I ordered came with a standard hose. Some opt for a separately purchased insulated hose.

Delbert,I live in central Oregon and we hooked up the hose and it promptly cracked so if you are in a very cold climate and you are using it to support animals I would not suggest this hose. Sorry to say that but I would have paid twice as much if it had worked when I needed it to.

Short answer yes. Long answer the basket is stamped steel with a rubber core, and the actual valve is just a rubber float valve. At your temps it would actually soften the rubber slightly causing it to make a better seal. I don't see why it would not hold up to at least 350 degrees. Around 350 the rubber would probably start to get too soft to actually hold back any back pressure coming up the drain.

I. have the same condition. This winter it was running 24 h for days at a time. Checked to see if 'dead spot' was leaking propane using bbq lighter. No leak detected. Mine is 2 yrs old with very heavy usage this winter so I can't tell if this is normal wear.In any case it seemed to provide same amt. of heat as when new and cylinders lasted about same time.

This hose has the fittings that are found on a small disposable propane tank, not the kind that you find on an RV. It won't do what you need.

Hose flexibility is not affected by temp. At least not in above 0* F. I've stepped on the hose a few times and it has not bothered it. Not as flexible as I thought but very usable.

the fittings on the end are standard hose fittings. however these hoses break apart very easily. they are not well constructed. I returned mine, it broke apart immediately on pressuring up.

I cant say with total certainty as I don't live in such weather. I can say that the hose bib is solid and the valve is not plastic which should help. It is well made and I have not had troubles with leaks. It's worth the money to try it out in my opinion.

We live in Colorado, and while admittedly our winters are not as bad as yours, our hoses are exposed to alternately below zero weather and bright sunlight. We occasionally have to re-install a fitting where the hose has cracked. We never pick up the hoses.
