This Coast to Coast flared ball valve in 5/16" x 5/16" SAE gives you simple on and off control in a caravan gas line. The gear drops straight into an existing 5/16" flared run so you can isolate a cooktop or heater without reworking the whole setup. The quarter-turn handle over the 5/16" bore makes it clear when the gas is flowing or shut while you pack up camp.

The valve uses a metal body with SAE flare seats sized for 5/16" tube and comes with matching flare nuts already fitted. The handle length around 25–30 mm gives enough leverage without crowding nearby hoses or brackets. The compact form sits neatly in lockers where you might only have about 60–80 mm of straight pipe. That makes this a smart buy for tidying up control points across typical low-pressure LPG caravan systems.

Q: Can this valve be used on LPG systems in caravans?

Yes, this flared ball valve suits low-pressure LPG systems in caravans and RVs that use 5/16" SAE flared copper or approved gas tube. A licensed gas fitter should handle installation and testing. Correct matching of 5/16" SAE fittings keeps joints tight. That helps maintain compliance with Australian gas standards across your setup.

Q: Do I need extra flare nuts to install this valve?

No, this valve comes complete with flare nuts on both 5/16" SAE ends. Your gas fitter can connect straight to existing 5/16" flared tube without buying separate nuts. Fewer separate parts help reduce install time. It also keeps every joint matched to the valve seats for better sealing.

Q: Where is this valve usually installed in a caravan gas line?

This 5/16" SAE valve is commonly placed close to appliances like cooktops or heaters. The compact body suits spots where the straight section of tube is short. A nearby shutoff makes maintenance or appliance replacement simpler. It also lets you isolate a single branch while the rest of the system stays connected.

Q: Can this valve be used outdoors under the caravan?

Yes, the metal body suits exposed runs under a caravan when installed by a gas fitter. The 5/16" SAE flare connections match many underfloor LPG lines. Protection from direct stone strikes and strain on the tube is still important. Proper mounting and support help the valve stay secure over rough roads.
