User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Mr Heater 12 Ft Hose Assembly
The hose works fine with the Little Buddy heater. The black plastic star nut was loose in the package, and it was a bit awkward to get the hose with its brass fitting held in a vise so the plastic star could be tapped on. Otherwise, no problems.

5 Stars Essential Accessory
Use this on my boat to keep the propane tank on deck and connect to the heater in the cabin. You should never put the propane tank inside!

5 Stars Excellent Value~~
Fast service and shipment; good quality hose and connections!

Makes it possible to use the small, portable Mr. Heater (with safety

cut-off) inside during a power outage, while keeping the propane

tank outside.

5 Stars Use Large Propane Tank with Buddy Heater
Bought it as a backup to use the grill tank with the space heater during a power outage haven’t had to use it and hope I never do but it should do the trick.

5 Stars It’s a hose!
Just the thing to hook up “some of that” with “one of those”. And it’s exactly 12 feet long. Get one!

5 Stars Good Accessory
I use this with a small propane heater to keep my boat cabin warm during winter fishing. I keep the tank outside for safety and use the hose to connect to the heater. Works great. I strongly recommend you use an in-line filter to keep any debris in the tank from clogging the heater. My first Mr. Buddy quit working after 1 1/2 seasons due to a clog. For the replacement unit, I have a filter installed (as recommended).

4 Stars Convert from small propane cylinder to 20lb propane tank
This hose assembly will convert from the small propane cylinder to the 20 lb tank. 5 feet of hose allows you to distance the cylinder away from the unit. The only improvement would be a longer hose, but in many cases 5 feet will be enough.

5 Stars Propane hose review
We needed a portable propane heat source during power outages in northern California. This hose was needed for the Mr. Heater Propane Portable heater. It’s safe and easy to use.

4 Stars Propane Hose can be Quirky!
I am very happy with my new Mr. Heater hose hook up, but it did need some tweeking.

I purchased the 12′ Mr. Heater hose assembly, hooked it up, clicked the red Mr. Heater spark button and got a small pilot light to burn maybe 4 seconds. Then I could get nothing, no flame at all.

This is not uncommon, I am finding out. The problem has to do with the new OPD safty rigged propane cylinders. Actually, it is caused by a very good safty valve that makes a lot of sense.

There is an Excess Flow shut off valve in the new OPD units, so that your granddaughter dosen’t accidently open up a cylinder in your garage and get frost bite or worse from propane shooting out. When the valve senses a sudden need for gobs of propane it shuts off or greatly limits the flow. Sounds like a good thing to me.

However, the people at Mr. Heater make no mention of this. That’s not so good. It took me maybe 45 mins. to an hour searching on the internet and experimenting with my own hose before I got it working.

What worked for me was this:

Once the E.F. valve shuts off it wants to stay closed. So you want to bleed a small amount of “hiss” off the pressure valve. To do this, you will find a small slotted screw head on the side of the pressure valve up on top of the tank. Slightly loosen this, let it hiss for a moment then tighten it down again. Now, with Mr. Heater hose hooked up and Mr. Heater off, slowly open the propane cylinder, hopefully you will hear it hiss inside the hose for a moment. That means the valve intially opened and is slowly filling the hose. Wait maybe five minutes for it to fill the hose. Once the pressure in the hose equalizes, you should be able to light Mr. Heater.

This got me going. I hope it helps anyone else with the same problem.

Sincerely,

Randy

4 Stars Quality accessory if you want economy and long burn time
If you want to maximize the safety, usefulness and economy of the propane Portable Buddy heater by Mr Heater or any other appliance that uses disposable 1 pound cylinders, you can’t go wrong buying this hose!

1. It allows the use of a larger LP tank (I have a 20 lb cylinder). I’m certain the savings from buying LP fuel in bulk will pay for the hose.

2. You can locate the bulk tank away from the lit heater. I use the heater primarily in my garage. With the hose I can get the heater off the floor and still have the bulk tank in a convenient and safe spot.

3. The hose can be used with any propane appliance that uses disposable propane cylinders.

The five foot length of this hose could be a drawback if you need or want to locate the bulk tank at a substantial distance from the appliance; if you don’t have the room to move the tank then the length is no problem. The 12 foot hose can provide more flexibility, however.

Here’s an essential safety tip for using this hose: be sure to shut/close the valve on the bulk tank BEFORE you remove the hose from the tank. It is possible to remove the hose end from the bulk tank without closing the tank valve and you will quickly find out that liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is another name for stinky, oily mess when it comes squirting out of the valve as I have done.
