I bought this hoping to connect a grill to the quick-connect fitting on the outside of our 2007 travel trailer. Unfortunately, there are no other details telling what this plug fits, even after a thorough web search including Mr. Heater's own website. I can now tell you that it does not fit this type of quick-connector. Rather than going through the hassle of returning a $10 item I attempted to find out what it takes to make it fit.

First off, the excess flow mechanism of this plug is a small ball-bearing that is pressed into the back of the plug if the flow is too great, either reducing or cutting off the flow. Since the propane is already regulated, this is not required. It also seemed to restrict the flow some.

Second, the retaining ring for the ball-bearing makes the hole of the plug too small. Stopping the flow of propane from the quick-connector.

Third, the tip of the plug too long and if you can get it locked into the connector it will cut-off the flow to the plug.

To get around these problems and make it work for my set up, I drilled out the retaining ring, removed the ball-bearing, and ground the tip down about an 1/16 of an inch. Works perfectly now.

The quality of the plug is fine, Amazon shipped it fast, its just the lack of information on this is the problem. If you know for sure you need this exact plug, you probably won't be disappointed. There is another plug that is not excess flow, that looks very similar, but beware if it is exactly same it may not work for an RV quick-connector. Hopefully this will help anyone else looking for the same connector.

I bought it to hook up my preplumbed RV hook up to my bar b que. It doesn't fit Tip is too long so I filed it down then it restricts the gas flow so much the bar b que will not get hot enough to cook anything. WORTHLESS!!

i bought this quick connect propane fitting to connect a bbq or my propane stove. When i recived it i tried to plug it in my quick connect plug that is located underneth the rear right side of the rv to find out that it just wouldn't plug in! now i thought that it was all the same plug for any rv! ahhhhh WRONG! WHY MAKE THINGS EASY WHEN IT CAN BE COMPLICATED!!!! Thanks to the gentelmen who left the first review of this fitting he had the same problem as i'am having right now and like him i'm not going to send back a $10.00 fitting which the shipping cost would probably cost half as much as the fitting itself so like him i'll try to make it fit!

If this is the size you are looking for, then this is the male plug for you. Since I could not find any sizing related t this product, I bought the wrong one (smaller than what I need, but it is a good solid brass piece.
