F273704 Buddy Series Hose Assembly - 10-ft.,Black,Small

I bought this hose to go with my portable Mr. Buddy, which I use pretty frequently when camping in the fall, winter, and early spring months. I love to camp and be outdoors, and so there is nothing like coming back to your cold tent and firing up my portable Mr. Buddy, which always does a great job of keeping me warm and toasty. The problem was, after using it a few times to heat my 6-person tent, I realized that those small bottles of propane you buy to use with the heater would typically run out after about 4-6 hours when in the dead of winter and using it on high heat. So, I needed to figure out a way to use a larger propane cylinder that would fit the smaller nozzle valve that is used with the heater. I bought this hose assembly so I could not only use the larger propane cylinders, but to also keep the fuel source on the outside of my tent to save space and on the off chance there is a leak coming from that end of the assembly (not what you want in the middle of the night whilst sleeping soundly in the privacy of your tent; additionally, if you are using your Mr. Buddy heater to heat a small space, make sure you have plenty of good ventilation to keep the good air coming in and the bad out!). The hose assembly works great and is easily long enough to keep the larger size propane cylinder far enough outside my tent for me to feel comfortable. The material used for the hose is great quality, and I have had literally zero issues using it over the last year. It is exactly what I was looking for. Whether you are using your Mr. Buddy for heating a small work space or tent while camping or whatever, if you want to save time, energy, and money from having to deal with the smaller propane cylinders this hose will do the job!

Works great! much better than the 20 year old hose that started leaking propane, which is not good trust me! It was easy to install on the cylinder and the heater, good quality hose and fittings.

And no filter required. I have not had any issues with it working. I followed the detailed instructions included in the package---hook up both ends of hose, heater valve off, open propane tank valve slowly, then bleed air out of line using heater valve with hose attached to heater (of course!!!) It takes longer than you think, just keep trying until it lights, you will smell propane before that happens. Probably took 3-5 minutes. Be sure to turn off the propane tank valve first when shutting down to avoid leaving pressurized propane in the hose. The only negative is attaching the plastic grip onto the brass fitting at the propane tank--mine was very loose and had to be epoxied to stay on (you can use it without the ring but it is easier with it on.) 4 1/2 stars.

The Mr. Heater Buddy Series Hose Assembly (10-ft, Model# F273704) is a must-have for anyone using a Mr. Heater Buddy and needing a longer, more flexible fuel connection. I used this hose to connect my heater to a larger propane tank, and it worked flawlessly without any leaks. The 10-foot length provides plenty of reach, making it easy to position the heater where needed. The hose feels durable and well-made, with strong brass fittings that secure tightly. Installation was quick and simple, and once connected, the heater ran smoothly without any issues. One important thing to note: This hose doesn’t have a built-in regulator, so depending on your setup, you may need an additional fuel filter to prevent contaminants from clogging the heater. And here’s a quick joke: Why did the propane hose get promoted? Because it always delivered under pressure! Overall, the Mr. Heater Buddy Hose Assembly is a sturdy, reliable, and easy-to-use extension for anyone looking to connect their Buddy heater to a larger propane source. It’s a great investment for camping, emergencies, or outdoor heating.

**Mr. Heater Buddy Series Hose Assembly - 10-ft., Model# F273704** **Reliable and Convenient—A Must-Have Accessory for Your Mr. Heater Buddy** I recently purchased the Mr. Heater Buddy Series Hose Assembly (10-ft., Model# F273704) to pair with my Mr. Heater Buddy, and it has made using the heater much more convenient. This hose is an essential accessory for anyone looking to connect their Mr. Heater Buddy to a larger propane tank, and it performs exactly as needed. **What I Liked:** - **Perfect Length for Flexibility**: The 10-foot length of this hose is just right for giving you the flexibility to position your propane tank at a safe distance from the heater. It’s long enough to provide ample room for setup but not so long that it becomes cumbersome to manage. Whether I’m using it at a campsite, in the garage, or on the patio, the length allows for easy and safe placement. - **High-Quality Construction**: The hose is well-made, with durable materials that feel built to last. The fittings are solid and connect securely to both the heater and the propane tank, giving me confidence that there won’t be any leaks or issues during use. The overall build quality is excellent, ensuring reliable performance even with regular use. - **No Filter Needed**: One of the great features of this hose is that it doesn’t require a filter when used with a bulk tank. This simplifies the setup process and reduces the need for additional parts, making it more convenient and cost-effective. It’s designed to work seamlessly with the Mr. Heater Buddy series without the risk of fuel line clogging. - **Easy to Connect**: Connecting the hose to both the heater and the propane tank is straightforward and easy. The fittings are well-designed and screw on smoothly without requiring any tools. I had everything set up and ready to go in just a few minutes, and the connection felt secure and reliable. - **Improves Heater Efficiency**: Using this hose to connect my Mr. Heater Buddy to a larger propane tank has significantly improved the efficiency and runtime of the heater. Instead of constantly replacing small propane cylinders, I can now run the heater for extended periods without interruption. This is especially useful for longer camping trips or during cold weather when the heater is running for extended hours. **What I Didn’t Like:** - **Slightly Stiff Hose**: The hose is a bit stiff out of the box, which can make it slightly challenging to position initially. While this isn’t a major issue, it would be nice if the hose were a bit more flexible right from the start. However, it does loosen up with use, making it easier to handle over time. - **No Quick-Disconnect Feature**: This hose does not have a quick-disconnect feature, which means you need to screw and unscrew the fittings each time you set up or take down your heater. While the connections are secure, a quick-disconnect option would add even more convenience for those who frequently move their heater or propane tank. - **Limited Use**: The hose is specifically designed for use with Mr. Heater Buddy heaters, so it’s not as versatile if you’re looking to use it with other types of propane appliances. However, for those with a Mr. Heater Buddy, it’s the perfect accessory. **Bottom Line:** The Mr. Heater Buddy Series Hose Assembly (10-ft., Model# F273704) is an excellent accessory for anyone using a Mr. Heater Buddy heater. It offers the perfect balance of length and durability, allowing for a flexible and efficient setup with a larger propane tank. While the hose is a bit stiff at first and lacks a quick-disconnect feature, these are minor considerations compared to the overall convenience and performance it provides. The high-quality construction and easy connection make it a reliable choice for extending the runtime of your heater. If you’re looking to get the most out of your Mr. Heater Buddy, this hose is a must-have addition to your setup. It has made my heater setup more efficient and convenient, and I highly recommend it!

Easy to apply with compatible tanks without leaking. Fair price for the item and the 10' length is convenient for most applications

llego en el tiempo indicado y se ve de muy buena calidad, fue recomendado para un calefactor de la misma marca. estoy satisfecho

Looks like a quality hose and no filter required with this one. Works fine.

If you live in the Uk amd own a Mr heater, just get one and a big propane cylinder for heat anywhere for hours and hours and hours

Bought it for my Mr Buddy & used it for almost a week during a camping trip with a 20 lb tank. Was easy to install and worked smoothly without any issues.

Great for camping. Keeps the propane tank outside the tent
