can this hose be used to install a 20,000 btu ventless gas fireplace in a cabin, it would be routed in a crawl space with a 100 pound bottle supply.

I think it would be ok as long as the 100 lb. tank of LP was outside the cabin. A tank can vent if it gets too warm and the escaping gas could ignite. Best for tank to be outside or far away from the flame.

I used it on a 30,000 btu heater in my house and a 6,000 btu in my bathroom. Works great.

Can is be used? Yes, BUT you should use hard copper (copper rated for gas), Black Iron pipe inside a structure vs using a rubber hose.I can see a scenario of rats chewing thru the hose, and Poof! you're dead.I'd suggest you contact local FIRE MARSHALL, Building department, your insurance company and make sure your will and life insurance is current before using such a hose.

A person could run the hose to the heater I would not personally use it it would not meet code I would make sure I would check your local code on what they require in a crawlspace right now either would have to use a black pipe or the yellow flexible tubing that you can get at a local box store/lowes or Home Depot

If it isn't a Mr Heater specific product the connections will probably not be the same. I bought this hose for my camp chef grill and the connections didn't match up.
821907
Yes! But you need aa additional fitting, A 3/8" Female NPT to a 3/8" male flare brass fitinf. About $2.50 ea.
821908
I used the hose to connect a 100lb tank to a 30,000 btu heater with no problems.
821909
Yes. Test all fittings with a water / soap spray to make sure there are no leaks...

Yes it can. I think the feet are included with the unit. Just remember you have to run the propane / natural gas line to the unit. You may need a 90% coupling to hook up gas line.

I just took the 20# tank off my BBQ pit and hooked it right up. Don't see why you couldn't use a larger tank cause I think they would be the same pressure.

Hello there, I bought the hose to allow the use of a large propane container rather than the small ones that the unit is designed for. I don't plan to move the grill around or use it portably so buying a lot of small containers vs. a large one once in awhile made both monetary sense as well as environmentally friendly sense. The hose fits a standard propane tank and the grill nicely and is just right as far a length was concerned for me. If you plan to use it portably there is no point but if it will be stationary you will save money and a lot of trips for more small cans. I hope this answers your question and is helpful. By the way there are other solutions from a variety of companies but they all require a lot of fittings to make it work and this opens the door to a host of other problems.

I really don't know .It was so disgusting to think I had purchased 250 ft. of this hose and it was a complete waste of money. I am trying another type with 3/4 diameter and all brass fittings. Will see how well this works. Montana Grandma

It depends on where you bought the gas, is it a clean outlet or questionable supplier? Particles can build-up in old hoses and flake off microscopically into your 20lb tank when loaded (filled). Only use 20lb tank outside of your home, run hose from outside to inside through a window which should be open about 3 inches for ventilation. I open the window at the bottom to let in O2 and open the top window to let out the CO.

No definitely would not. They make hose specifically designed for that application.

Not really a great idea.It would burn,but only for a very short time.The reason this fuel works so well in a ventless fireplace,is that it is poured into a reservoir which holds a large amount of fuel,thus a long burn.

You probably can, but keep in mind this unit requires plenty of ventilation, as do most propane products. The hose supplied connects to any of the non-disposal propane tanks. BTW I do love this refrigerator!

I would not advise it. Anytime you vent into a possible closed space such as an attic, you risk the chance of condensation and mold issues. Although ugly, if you purchase so extra flex hose, you can run it into another room for proper venting.

The valve on this tank is identical to a 20 lb propane tank typically used with gas grills - right hand thread. I think the other end of your connector hose would need to connect to a "POL fitting with a left hand thread".

Yes, but you need to buy an appliance propane gas hose extension . I bought a 20' hose made by Coleman, I think
2029261
No, this hose won't work. It connects to the fitting that is on a one pound propane bottle to a propane appliance. You would need a hose that connects to the propane tank and the pressure regulator that feeds the appliances on the fifth wheel.

Since I don't want to direct you to the wrong answer, because I, myself do not know if it will be possible to hook this up with a 20 LB. and a flexible BBQ hose, I have provided you with the link to the manufacture's website and the manual for this model of heater. I hope it helps. Sorry I can't say yes or no, but I hope you find the answer(s) in what I posted here for you. Have a good one Byron.

Yes, you can use any size bottle or canister of propane. It's about how long it will last for what you need it to do. Anyway the answer is yes. BIG BOB out!

Yes, to a degree. I bought this hose for that express purpose but you have to realize the nature of propane. The bigger the tank used typically means the less total use of the propane you get. Depending on waht type of appliance is hooked to a tank that size, you run the risk of the tank "freezing up" and blocking the relase of the gas. This is typical with most types of heaters as they tend to draw the gas faster than it can convert from a liquid state the further down the liquid is in the tank. So, small tanks work best or be prepared to allow a big tank to thaw from time to time to get be able to use it's full volume. Yes, to a degree.

Yes, but you must buy a separate connector. I bought a Stansport Propane Appliance to Bulk Tank Hose Connector (5-Feet)-$14.23 from Amazon. You don't want the hose too long since a serious problem you might have is the gas connections not staying secure letting propane gas leak out.
