Product Description
This is a 12' hose with a built in regulator that will connect the Mr. Heater Big Buddy to a twenty pound propane tank. The regulator on this hose allows the hose to bypass the regulator in the Big Buddy by connecting to the quick-disconnect fitting on the Big Buddy instead of the screw-in connection. This hose gives you 1/2 PSI through the hose at any given time instead of 100 PSI that other hoses provide. This provides much safer conditions should a leak in your hose occur.
- Propane hose assembly for use with Mr. Heater Big Buddy indoor/outdoor heater
- POL connection connects directly to twenty pound propane tank
- Regulator reduces high pressure of 1.3 gallon tanks and larger to low pressure
- Hand wheel for tightening; female connector fits any standard 3/8-inch male SAE fitting
- 12-feet long; 1-year warranty

Mr. Heater Hose with Regulator and Quick Disconnect for Big Buddy Heater #F271803 Reviews
| 110 of 112 people found the following review helpful  Product information from Mr. Heater company, By Mamacita (Juneau, AK United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Mr. Heater Hose with Regulator and Quick Disconnect for Big Buddy Heater #F271803 (Kitchen) I was confused about the hose options so I contacted Mr. Heater to get the scoop. I have not actually used the hose myself (so the 4 star was arbitrary...seems like this is the way to go, tho'), but I wanted to share what the company said. (Please note that the product manuals for the Mr Buddy heaters are available on their website at the specific product link). My initial question and the company response follow, including the contact info for the company rep that sent me the information:Initial question to Mr. Heater: amazon.com advertizes that the plasticizer-free green hose(f273704) can be used with both the portable buddy and big buddy, but I don't see it listed in the big buddy manual. Is it compatible with both? Also, is the quick disconnect hose (F271803) compatible with both the big buddy and the portable buddy? Does this hose require use of a fuelfilter? If no, why not? Is it made of materials that will not degrade like the f273704 hose...

However, it has several advantages that have been confirmed by Mr. Heater (I called them):1) The regulator keeps the pressure coming from the tank into the hose at a very low level, which is safer. 2) You do NOT need to purchase a fuel filter with this hose. The regulator prevents oils from leaving the propane tank and entering your heater where it could do damage. Although you pay more for this hose up front, you don't have to buy fuel filters periodically, which are required with the other hose that doesn't have the regulator. 26 of 26 people found the following review helpful Bulk cheaper than 1 lb. bottles, This review is from: Mr. Heater Hose with Regulator and Quick Disconnect for Big Buddy Heater #F271803 (Kitchen) I chose this quick disconnect hose instead of the hose that connects to the heater's regulator because this hose is equipped with a regulator at the bulk tank end thus reducing the hose pressure to a much safer 1/2 lb. psi. This hose also has a built in filter in the regulator eliminating the purchase of an additional filter.Preventing 5 stars is the cramped quick connection in the Mr. Heater which points straight down. It would be nice if the quick disconnect also had a swivel outward like the heater's two regulators. Also you must hold the pilot button for about 90 seconds to allow the gas to travel the length of the 12' hose to reach the heater. Otherwise I'm pleased wih the product because it allows connection to a large supply of propane which you will need when operating Mr. Heater on high. Also the cost of propane when purchased in 20 lbs. is much cheaper than the 1 lb bottles. |
