Tips for Getting Male and Female RV Propane Quick Disconnect Fittings to Connect
Question:
Hi, I bought part 104052-MBS which is a quick disconnect connector with 100476-120-MBS, a quick connect hose. When I try and pair the two together they will not connect. I am pulling back the sleeve with the lever in the off position and the male end is going in all the way but the sleeve wont snapinch in to place. Any recommendations? Is it the wrong hose? It doesnt seem like it is.

The MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Connector # 104052-MBS and the MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose for Small Appliance # 100476-120-MBS that you referenced are designed to be able to connect to each other. They both have matching quick disconnect fittings. These fittings can be somewhat stubborn though. Especially if the pressure in the lines is high. Make sure you are pulling all the way back on the sleeve of the female side and that the male side is going all the way in and the two should fit together.
