  Product Description
The Crusader Butane 450mm Pigtail connects your gas cylinder directly to your caravan, motorhome or campervan's regulator. With a Butane Nut x W20 fitting, it matches the cylinders you'll find at most UK campsites and holiday parks. Made from quality materials built to handle outdoor conditions, this hose is designed for the regular demands of mobile living.

The standout feature here is the Hose Rupture Protection (HRP) valve. If your hose gets damaged during travel or setup, this valve automatically closes and cuts off the gas supply instantly. In a confined living space that relies on gas for heating or cooking, this safety backup matters far more than you'd think until the moment you actually need it. The 450mm length gives you enough reach to route the hose around external connections without stretching it tight.

Owners of caravans and motorhomes typically replace standard pigtails with HRP versions once they realise how often hoses get caught, snagged or abraded around vehicle fixtures and sharp corners. Most people can disconnect an old pigtail and fit this one in a few minutes, though getting a professional to inspect your entire gas system at the same time is always recommended. Just confirm your cylinder has a Butane Nut x W20 fitting before ordering, as older cylinders or imported bottles sometimes use different connection types.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Hose Rupture Protection do?
Hose Rupture Protection (HRP) is a safety mechanism built into the pigtail that automatically cuts off gas flow if the hose becomes damaged or torn. When the hose ruptures, the valve closes instantly and stops propane or butane from escaping. This is particularly important in caravans and motorhomes where a gas leak in an enclosed space poses a serious safety risk.
Is this pigtail compatible with my gas cylinder?
This pigtail has a Butane Nut x W20 fitting, which is the most common connection type for gas cylinders used in UK caravans, motorhomes and campsites. The vast majority of portable propane and butane bottles have this fitting. However, older cylinders or imported bottles may use different connectors. Check your current cylinder's connection type before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Can I use this with both propane and butane?
Yes, this pigtail works with both propane and butane cylinders as long as they have the W20 Butane Nut fitting. The hose itself is designed to handle both fuel types safely. Many UK caravan owners switch between butane in summer and propane in winter, so this versatility is useful for seasonal camping.
How difficult is it to install?
Installation is straightforward. Disconnect the old pigtail from your cylinder and regulator, then connect this new one in the same way. Make sure all connections are hand-tight and secure. Most owners complete the swap in a few minutes. If you're unsure about your gas system or this is your first time, consider having a professional check the connections to ensure everything is safe.
How long will this pigtail last?
The Crusader pigtail is built from durable materials designed to withstand outdoor conditions and UV exposure. In normal use, it typically lasts several years. However, inspect it regularly for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If you notice any deterioration or the hose becomes hard or inflexible, replace it even if it still functions. Regular inspection and prompt replacement ensure your gas system remains safe.
Why is the 450mm length important?
The 450mm length gives you sufficient reach to connect your cylinder to your regulator without the hose being stretched too tight. Tight or over-extended hoses are more prone to wear and damage. The length is long enough for most caravan and motorhome setups to allow the hose to route around fixtures and connections with slack, reducing stress on the connection points.
