FAQs
Mensi uses high quality brass in their propane fittings for durability and corrosion resistance. The brass fittings are chrome-plated for an attractive finish.
The size fitting needed depends on the propane tank valve outlet. Common sizes are POL, ACME, and QCC1. Check your tank valve for the fitting size stamped on it. Mensi offers a size chart on their website to help customers identify the right propane fitting.
No, Mensi fittings are designed solely for use with propane tanks and applications. Using them with natural gas could lead to dangerous leakage or explosions. Only use fittings intended for natural gas with those applications.
Brass is more durable and corrosion resistant than cheaper fittings made from materials like aluminum or zinc. This means Mensi’s brass fittings will last longer without leaks or breakage during use or storage.
Check if your propane tank valve outlet and the device you want to connect have different fitting sizes or styles. If they don’t match, you’ll need an adapter fitting to connect them securely. Mensi has a variety of adapter options to work between different fittings.
Yes, Mensi fittings work for RV and camper propane hookups. Their versatile fittings allow easy connections from the RV tanks to grills, stoves, heaters and other camping accessories that use propane fuel.
The chrome plating gives the brass Mensi fittings an attractive shine while also adding protection from corrosion. This prevents weather damage during outdoor use. The smooth finish prevents scratches on tank valve surfaces as well.
Fittings should be tightened securely by hand. Never over-tighten with tools or you could damage the fittings. A moderate amount of tightening by hand until snug should create a leak-proof propane connection. Always test connections for leaks.
No, pipe thread sealants should never be used. Propane fittings seal via metal-to-metal contact between threads. Using paste or tape sealants can actually cause leaks. Simply tighten by hand for a secure connection.
Use a propane hose adapter from Mensi to safely join and seal two propane hoses together for a longer reach. Make sure the adapter fitting matches the hose end fittings to create a leak-proof seal. Follow all safety guidelines for hose length and handling.
