I purchased this with the recommended propane pigtail Camco 59073. They do not fit together! I'll try to take a photo and upload.
Pigtail is 1/4" but female input on this is 3/8" and output looks like 5/8". I know the input is 3/8 because I went to a home dept and found a 3/8 brass end that screwed in fine. I didn't spend time verifying output but I put a measuring tape on it and it does look 3/8".
I needed all this for my popup trailer before leaving on vacation. I was very frustrated to find out it does not match specifications and I was unable to install. So I ended up having to reinstall my old regulator which is old and causing orange flames (So I can only use the outdoor cook top)
Now the frustrating thing about buying parts like this online. The return process. I enjoy the better value in buying from amazon but recommend you go to some RV parts store first to ensure the parts fit together properly. I suppose if you are not in a hurry you could write down the part numbers and check prices here on Amazon where it most likely is cheaper. Or buy from some online place where they will check that pieces fit together first.
Hope this helps you.

I ordered this propane regulator and a hose (made by the same manufacturer) to connect it to a propane cylinder, it arrived in the time frame promissed.In reading through some of the other reviews on similar products, one person had mentioned that the connector on the end of the hose that doesn't connect to a propane cylinder does not match the input on the propane pressure regulator. This is correct. The input on the regulator is 1/4" Female NPT and the connector on the end of the hose is 1/4" Male Inverted Flare. They're both 1/4", but don't be fooled, they are two totally incompatible fittings and need an adapter to use them together.
I looked for the adapter at 3 major home improvement stores to no avail. They carry Flare fittings, but not Inverted Flare Fittings. I finally found the part I was looking for at an Auto Parts store.
Here is the part I bought to remedy my situation, 124440 by Edellmann. I looked it up on Amazon and they have it, but there is no product description. Be assured, this is the adapter you want if you're trying to connect 1/4" Male Inverted Flare to 1/4" Female NPT. I reccommend adding it to your order to avoid having to drive all over town looking for it. Here is a link to the product Edelmann 124440 Fitting
Good luck with your projects!
