Mr. Heater Hose with Regulator and Quick Disconnect for Big Buddy Heater
This is a 12' hose with a built in regulator that will connect the Mr. Heater Big Buddy to a twenty pound propane tank. The regulator on this hose allows the hose to bypass the regulator in the Big Buddy by connecting to the quick-disconnect fitting on the Big Buddy instead of the screw-in connection. This hose gives you 1/2 PSI through the hose at any given time instead of 100 PSI that other hoses provide. This provides much safer conditions should a leak in your hose occur.

User Reviews about Mr. Heater Hose with Regulator and Quick Disconnect for Big Buddy Heater #F271803
This hose costs more than the one without the regulator. However, it has several advantages that have been confirmed by Mr. Heater (I called them):
1) The regulator keeps the pressure coming from the tank into the hose at a very low level, which is safer.
2) You do NOT need to purchase a fuel filter with this hose. The regulator prevents oils from leaving the propane tank and entering your heater where it could do damage. Although you pay more for this hose up front, you don't have to buy fuel filters periodically, which are required with the other hose that doesn't have the regulator. -- Good Value--Doesn't require a filter
We purchased the Mr Heater but couldn't find the hose with regulator at any of the retailers locally who sold the heater. We ordered and received it in just a few days. It works great with the tank from our grill.Mr Heater MH18B Portable "Big Buddy" Heater -- Couldn't Find At Local Retailers
This hose allows a 20 pound propane cylinder to be attached to the Mr. Heater thereby eliminating the need to purchase the small 1 pound cylinders. The hose was shipped promptly and performs wonderfully. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to avoid the necessity of swapping out the small 1 pound cylinders. -- Mr. Heater Hose
This is a must have item the the Big Buddy Heater. It saves time and money. It is very easy to connect/disconnect to the heater. The 12 ft hose is a good length for my uses, I heat my two car garage with the heater ( very toastey). If you decide to get this product, read the directions and be sure to turn both the gas tank and heater on for a minute or so without trying to ignite the heater. This gives the gas time to travel the length of the hose to supply the heater. If you don't do this you will be cursing your heater while you hit the ignite button a hundred times. -- A Buddy Heater must have.
This is a very nice quality hose for QUICK disconnect use. It will save time and work. -- Mr. Heater Quick Disconnect Hose
