Propane Stove, H26

Les. Where can you get an approved line? Next step in my propane stove refit. Figure I need 18 feet to run from stern to behind stove.

You can get flex hose UL rated for propane from Amazon, didn't mention above but you have to use crimped or flared fittings only - no barbed fittings with hose clamps. You can also use copper tubing with flared fittings. Remember if you use flex hose it must be one piece - with no cutting of the factory installed ends (roll up the excess somewhere it won't cause a problem)

Crazy Dave, that tube in my pictures is not electrical wires. I ran my electrical wires under the floor of the aft berth. They are inside flexible electrical conduit. I started this thread to show the installation of my propane stove. The tube you see is the gas hose. The PO of my boat had this 10 ft. hose coiled up inside the cabinet under the stove. He would simply attach the propane tank there under the cabinet, which I believe is dangerous. Luckily the 10 f t hose is the perfect length to run aft to the gas locker. The hose runs through a Vapor-Tight Straight-Thru fitting (see previous post). The hose provides flexibility inside the gas compartment, there is no danger of the brass fittings cracking due to vibration or flexing.
