Details

What's wrong: A liquid propane (lp) gas hose connects the main lp gas manifold to the gas fired appliances in the slide-out room. The connection of the hose to a tee in the refrigerator compartment puts a rotational stress on the crimped connection between the fitting that connects to the tee and the hose itself.

Why it matters: This condition can result in leakage of lp gas, increasing the risk of fire.

The fix: Dealers will install a manifold that will go into the refrigerator anchoring this to the floor, then attaching a hose with a high compression end fitting to a brass fitting. The hose will then flex side to side rather than rotationally.
