Before replacing an RV's propane BBQ quick-disconnect, identify the female shutoff socket, male plug, protective dust cap and any appliance hose as separate parts. Many look alike, but size descriptions alone do not establish compatibility. This model-number reference compares JR Products, MB Sturgis and Camco components with actual UsedRVParts catalog photos.
Female shutoff, male plug and dust covers explained
The RV supply outlet normally has a female quick-disconnect socket with a shutoff. The matching male plug is attached to a compatible appliance hose or connection. Dust protection is different from a shutoff or an actual gas connection.

Identify the part numbers before ordering
| Part number | What it is | Connection details |
|---|---|---|
| MB Sturgis 104052 | Female Model 250 quick-connect ball-valve socket | 1/4-in female NPT supply-side connection; regulated LP use only |
| MB Sturgis 401132 | Model 250 male quick-disconnect plug | 1/4-in male pipe thread on opposite end; a listed mating plug for 104052 |
| MB Sturgis 302005 | Blue male-plug dust cap | Protects a compatible Model 250 male plug when disconnected |
| JR Products 07-30435 | Female quick-connect shutoff valve | 1/4-in female thread and compatible female quick-disconnect coupler |
| JR Products 07-30455 | Male/female quick-connect components | 1/4-in pipe-thread applications; identify the included matching set |
| JR Products 0730465 | Female-coupler rubber dust plug | A protective plug for the JR female coupler, not a male gas plug |
| Camco 59853 | Male plug and female shutoff kit | 1/4-in FNPT supply side and 1/4-in MNPT plug end; check exact coupler family |
| Camco 57282 | 10-ft extension hose | Male-to-female quick connectors; contains no regulator |
Manufacturer and model names matter more than appearance. An unidentified quarter-inch quick-disconnect should be matched to its original maker, profile and pressure specification before choosing a plug or dust cap.
Outdoor kitchen appliance hoses: check both ends
MB Sturgis 0030448MBS is a 48-inch assembly with a Model 250 male quick-disconnect plug on the RV side and a 3/8-inch female flare swivel on the appliance side. The related 0304120MBS is a 120-inch outdoor-kitchen hose with the same general end-connection arrangement. Both should be selected by exact MPN, fitting profile and the appliance manufacturer's specified inlet—not simply by hose length.
A quick-connect extension such as Camco 57282 is a different design with a male and a female quick-connect end. It contains no regulator. It should not be used to convert a high-pressure appliance into a low-pressure appliance or to bypass required pressure control.
For low-BTU uses MB Sturgis also offers Model 250 quick-connect ball valves. For 104052, consult the manufacturer's actual capacity and working-pressure specifications when evaluating the total connected appliance load. The combined supply capacity must suit the RV regulator, hose and appliance requirements.
