Flexible Propane Line (1 Viewer)

[JCook5003]

Guys.

I'm remodeling the living quarters of my horse trailer. They are about 12' long and 8' wide. I moved the kitchen from the side to the rear wall of the trailer. The propane is currently supplied via black pipe under the trailer with soft copper stubs going to the other appliances.

My question: can I simply tee at one of the other appliances and use this line to route propane to the rear of the living quarters?

I need about 25' just like this. Is would be routed along the floor and in existing chases. My question is with so many warnings and ideas floating around the web I'm very confused about what is and what isn't ok inside RVs or at all.

Thanks for any help.

I would only use or replace it with black iron...no sense taking any risks.

Soft copper, secure it a maximum of every 18", leave vibration loops where appropriate (i.e. transitions from one structure to another, any place where relative motion might occur, etc.).
Spend some money on your flaring tool. Cheap flaring tools are not worth the trouble.

Black pipe is so much cheaper than $$$$copper tubing.
Easy to use and will take a beating!

That it is, but is seriously is lacking in the "Flexible" part that the OP requested.

Hydraulic hose? Or too expensive?

Propane is a rather small molecule and will leak out of most 'normal' hyd. hoses and fuel hoses. Reasonable short term fix, NFG for a build. Most dedicated propane hoses have a teflon liner so that they're impermeable to the gas. So I guess you could use stainless over-braided teflon racing hose, but that isn't particularly cheap stuff.

Didn't know that, thanks.

I didn't either until I worked on a prototype patio heater project.
