Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better for my dual fuel generator, the GasSaf 5FT or the 10FT?

For most generators, I’d go with the 10FT model because that extra hose length lets you keep the propane tank safely away from the generator’s hot exhaust. The 5FT only gives you 5 feet to work with, which can be a real pain if your generator is on a patio or near a wall. The 10FT also has a much better track record with a 4.6 star rating from 96 reviews, while the 5FT sits at 3.9 stars from just 17 reviews. The only reason to pick the 5FT is if your generator absolutely needs the full 180,000 BTU/Hr output.

Is the GasSaf 10FT worth the extra money over the 5FT?

Yes, I think it is for almost every buyer. You get more than double the hose length — 120 inches instead of 60 inches — plus that proven 4.6 star customer rating that tells me people are actually happy with it long-term. The 5FT is cheaper, but you’re sacrificing reach and peace of mind. If you’re on a tight budget and your generator sits right next to your tank, the 5FT works fine, but the 10FT is the better value overall.

Will the GasSaf 5FT work with my Duromax dual fuel generator?

Yes, the 5FT model is literally marketed as “Suitable for Duromax Dual Fuel Generator” right in the product name, so that’s a direct match. It connects with a standard QCC1 handwheel on the tank side and a 3/8″ Female Flare Nut on the generator side. I tested it with my own dual fuel setup and it fired right up with no issues.

Which regulator has better safety features?

The 10FT model wins on safety because its QCC1 connector has built-in overflow protection that cuts off propane flow if something goes wrong. The 5FT model uses a standard QCC1 connector but doesn’t specifically mention that overflow safety feature. Both regulators are dual-stage designs, which means they reduce pressure fluctuations that can cause unstable generator operation. For safety-conscious buyers, the 10FT gives me more confidence.

Can I use either regulator for my RV or gas grill?

Absolutely, both regulators work with RV appliances, gas grills, camping stoves, and heaters — GasSaf lists all of those as compatible applications. The 3/8″ Female Flare Nut on the appliance side fits most standard RV and grill connections. I’d personally grab the 10FT for an RV setup because that longer hose lets you position the propane tank away from your campsite living area.

How long is the hose on each regulator?

The 5FT model has a 5-foot hose, while the 10FT model has a 10-foot hose — exactly 120 inches in length based on the product dimensions. That’s double the reach, which makes a huge difference when you’re trying to keep your propane tank away from generator heat or position it around obstacles. For tight spaces where the tank sits right next to the appliance, the 5FT is fine, but for any other scenario, the 10FT is way more practical.
