Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mr Heater 9,000 BTU 5-Foot Propane Hose Assembly #F273701
Customer Review: Quality accessory if you want economy and long burn time
Summary: 4 Stars
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.

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).Customer Review: Quality built

This hose works better than a longer hose in my situation. I'm glad I bought this length. Its well constructed of quality parts, and you don't need a wrench to tighten the connections. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to use a 20# propane tank with their Mr. Heater.Customer Review: Convert from small propane cylinder to 20lb propane tank
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: 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.
