Review on 🔥 Flame King (ACR6) Without Pigtails: 2-Stage Auto Changeover LP Propane Gas Regulator for RVs, Vans, Trailers - Efficient Gas Control for Your Mobile Home by Kyle Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits perfectly and works well so far. Happy with it for the price.

I bought this automatic switching valve to replace the original valve on my 2005 Coachmen Capri 29FKS caravan. So far I am delighted with this valve. I had a main mode tank and removed the secondary tank to refill it. My main tank hasn't been emptied yet so I can't comment on the auto switch feature or the low pressure indicator window in the main tank. One thing I would like to note is that my rig is a standard camper tongue rig with 2 tanks and two 30lb propane tanks covered with a plastic shield. The original valve had a low primary pressure indicator on top of the valve that was visible when the access panel on top of the propane tank shield was opened. This new valve has no top gauge. The gauge is on the face of the valve and requires a mirror to view properly without removing the protective grille from the tanks. I knew this from other customer reviews as well as product photos but the price was really good compared to some other models so I decided to give it a try. This is a relatively early review as the valve has only been installed for about 3 weeks but I am happy with it so far. My valve came with a bracket attached with a single hole in the top that slides over the center push rod in the tank assembly. I believe my previous, original valve had a 2-hole mount (top and bottom), but this one-hole setup works fine. I insert the horizontal hold down bar, then slide the new valve mount hole onto the stem and finally screw the hold down nut assembly onto the top. I also bought two new pigtail hoses that connect to tanks with acme fittings and to this new valve with flare fittings. With the original valve and hoses, I could smell a propane tracer in the propane tank shield access door, which was probably due to the original hoses failing, but I figured at this price point, a valve replacement would be a good idea.
