How to Select Propane Hose with Correct Fittings for new RV Water Heater
Question:
Have a new water heater for my 89 western wilderness camper to install. What kind of propane hose can I use? The existing hard copper line will not match up on new water heater

The best way to select a hose for connecting your new water heater to its propane source is to match up the types of fittings required. We have propane products - hoses, regulators, tees - with all sorts of fittings so we should have what you need. Please refer to the linked page.
Water heaters such as the Atwood RV Water Heater # AT96110 use a 3/8-inch fitting like those on # 100383-36-MBS. This hose has a 3/8-inch male pipe thread (3/8 MPT) fitting on one end and a 1/2-inch female flare on the other.
