The 450mm Propane Gas Pigtail with Hose Rupture Protection (HRP) connects a propane cylinder to a regulator using POL x W20 fittings, and is designed for LPG systems that need to keep running safely while a vehicle is in motion. Unlike a non-return (NR) pigtail, this is a straight-through (ST) hose — its safety feature is the HRP mechanism, which shuts off gas flow automatically if the hose itself is cut, crushed or otherwise damaged.
This makes it particularly relevant for caravans and motorhomes running "drive-safe" gas systems, where HRP protection is often required to allow gas appliances to remain in use while travelling. The hose is tested to EN 16436-1 Class 3, rated to 30 bar working pressure with a 90 bar burst pressure, and finished in orange for easy identification against other pigtails in a system.
It's unbraided, so it doesn't carry the same abrasion or rodent resistance as a braided or stainless steel pigtail, and it's best suited to protected or semi-protected installations such as gas lockers rather than fully exposed outdoor runs.
Hose Rupture Protection gives this pigtail a genuine safety advantage for gas systems that operate while a vehicle is moving, cutting off gas flow if the hose is damaged rather than relying on a non-return valve alone. Built to EN 16436-1 Class 3 with a 90 bar burst pressure, it's suited to caravan, motorhome and marine installations where this type of protection is expected or required, and the orange colour coding makes it straightforward to identify within a wider gas system.
