propane hose leak-valve question
All knowing list, I hope someone can help me out.
I found a leak on the high pressure propane hose (the hose between tank and regulator). The leak was at the regulator end. It was leaking between the swaged / crimped fitting and the threaded nipple on the hose. It was not leaking at the actual screw connection on the regulator. I disconnected the hose, and a ball bearing, spring, nylon sleeve, and a threaded washer fell out. I assume this is a check valve arrangement. Anyone know for certain the orientation of those parts? I do not beleive that they are from any regulator internals, but thought I would ask before I make wrong assumptions.
Thanks

Sam, I believe they use Triton brand parts but I would call Beneteau Parts to be sure.

OK, I found a replacement hose at West Marine. It did not have the correct regulator end fitting, but a quick trip to the hardware store procured the correct adapter fitting. The hose was an inverted flare type and I need to convert from that to a 1/4 pipe thread. Simple.
I spoke to Marshall Brass in San Marcos Texas, as they are the manufacturer of the regulator. They said that the ball and spring were part of the hose assembly, so I simply purchased and installed. Simple fix all in all.
I would suggest checking the hose. If it is "stiff" by a new one and have on hand. For approximately $30 USD its worth having on hand.
