  Product Description
This Crusader pigtail hose connects your LPG cylinder to caravan and motorhome gas systems without needing tools. The hand wheel POL fitting lets you tighten or loosen the connection by hand, making cylinder swaps quick and straightforward. At 500mm long, it's the right length for standard installations whilst remaining compact enough for tight storage areas.

The W20 female outlet accepts standard bulkhead or in-line regulators, covering most leisure gas setups. Its stainless steel braided construction protects the inner rubber core from damage and corrosion, which matters when you're dealing with moisture around caravans and motorhomes. The hose handles both propane and butane, so you're not locked into one fuel type if you're travelling or changing suppliers.

Caravanners and motorhomers commonly fit these for quick-release cylinder connections. The hand wheel design saves time during gas bottle changeovers, which adds up across a season of weekend trips. Bear in mind you'll still need an appropriate regulator for the outlet if you don't already have one, as the pigtail itself isn't a complete system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the hand wheel POL fitting do?
The hand wheel POL fitting connects directly to your LPG cylinder and lets you tighten or loosen the connection by hand without needing a spanner or specialist tools. POL stands for Prest-O-Lite and uses a left-hand thread, which is standard for propane and butane systems in the UK. Simply rotate the hand wheel clockwise to connect and anticlockwise to disconnect.
What is the W20 female outlet and what does it connect to?
The W20 female outlet is where you connect your regulator or in-line appliance connector. It accepts standard bulkhead fittings and regulators commonly used in caravan and motorhome gas systems. This outlet allows you to regulate gas pressure and distribute it safely to your appliances.
Can I use this pigtail hose with both propane and butane?
Yes, this Crusader pigtail hose works with both propane and butane LPG systems. The stainless steel braided construction and POL fitting are compatible with either fuel type, so you're not restricted to one supplier or fuel choice when you're on the road.
Is a regulator included with this pigtail hose?
No, the pigtail hose is a connector only and does not include a regulator. You'll need to fit an appropriate regulator or in-line connector to the W20 female outlet. Most caravans and motorhomes already have a bulkhead-mounted regulator, in which case you connect the W20 outlet directly to it.
Why is the 500mm length better than longer hoses?
The 500mm length is ideal for standard caravan and motorhome installations where the gas locker is relatively close to the regulator or gas appliances. Shorter hoses reduce the amount of gas sitting in the line, improve pressure stability, and take up less storage space. This length covers most UK leisure vehicle layouts without being unnecessarily long.
How long does the stainless steel braiding last?
The Crusader pigtail hose has a 20-year lifespan under normal use. The stainless steel braiding protects the rubber core from UV damage, abrasion, and corrosion, extending the working life significantly. Regular inspection for cracks or leaks is recommended, particularly after prolonged outdoor storage or exposure to harsh weather.
