Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mr. Heater Hose with Regulator and Quick Disconnect for Big Buddy Heater #F271803
Customer Review: Worthwhile Accessory to Buddy Heaters
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have a Buddy Heater, this item is a must have. The buddy heaters work off of three different sources:1lb, 20lb and 100lb containers. The 1lb containers connect directly with the heater. The 20 and 100lb tanks need an adapter and either a regulator or filter. First, realize the price difference and waste of using 1lb tanks. Your two options for connecting to the 20lb and 100lb tanks are either this adapter hose/regulator kit that stores neatly on the underside of the Big Buddy Heater or to buy the adapter and a filter piece seperatly.
A 1lb tank costs almost $10 a pop.
A 20lb tank costs almost $20 to refill ($1 for 1lb)
- the 20lb tank costs $40 if you need to buy the tank as well
Customer Review: Good Value--Doesn't require a filter
Summary: 5 Stars
This hose costs more than the one without the regulator. However, it has several advantages that have been confirmed by Mr. Heater (I called them):
1) The regulator keeps the pressure coming from the tank into the hose at a very low level, which is safer.
2) You do NOT need to purchase a fuel filter with this hose. The regulator prevents oils from leaving the propane tank and entering your heater where it could do damage. Although you pay more for this hose up front, you don't have to buy fuel filters periodically, which are required with the other hose that doesn't have the regulator.
Customer Review: A Buddy Heater must have.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must have item the the Big Buddy Heater. It saves time and money. It is very easy to connect/disconnect to the heater. The 12 ft hose is a good length for my uses, I heat my two car garage with the heater ( very toastey). If you decide to get this product, read the directions and be sure to turn both the gas tank and heater on for a minute or so without trying to ignite the heater. This gives the gas time to travel the length of the hose to supply the heater. If you don't do this you will be cursing your heater while you hit the ignite button a hundred times.Customer Review: Great!

this hose works awesome with the Bug Buddy Heater!
Just hook it up to your BBQ propane tank and go. Big Buddy lasts about 45 hours on one BBQ tank using this hose!
One tip: you do not need to buy the filter that someone above recommends, it wont even fit and is not required. Oh and to the above reviewer: thanks for wasting my money on that filter!

Customer Review: Couldn't Find At Local Retailers
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased the Mr Heater but couldn't find the hose with regulator at any of the retailers locally who sold the heater. We ordered and received it in just a few days. It works great with the tank from our grill.Mr Heater MH18B Portable "Big Buddy" Heater
