Timsec 5042 Brass Adapter — QCC1 to 1/4" NPT, POL Female, 33ft PTFE Tape for Outdoor Propane Cooking

Overview

Meet the Timsec 5042 brass adapter, a robust propane line accessory designed for outdoor cooking and mobile setups. It converts a QCC1/Type 1 Male and POL Female connection into a 1/4" male pipe thread, making it easier to link different tanks and fittings on demand. This can be especially handy when rotating between smaller disposable cylinders and larger propane sources, such as during camping, tailgating, or backyard gatherings. The compact design also helps in tight spaces where quick changes matter.

Quality you can rely on

Built from solid brass, the adapter resists corrosion and weather exposure. Precisely milled threads are deeper and tighter for a smoother, more reliable seal when tightened with standard hand pressure. The package includes heavy-density PTFE thread sealant tape, specifically designed for gas lines, to enhance thread sealing and maintain performance across connections.

What’s included

• 1x Brass 5042 Male QCC1 Nut
• 1x 33 ft PTFE Gas Line Thread Tape (yellow)

Specifications and compatibility

The 5042 adapter combines QCC1/Type male threading on one end and inner POL female threading on the other, with a 1/4" male pipe thread on the opposite side. The design supports a straightforward hand-screw onto compatible gas tanks without tools. The gas direction is typically from 1/4" NPT to QCC1, and the 1/4" NPT end threads into a compatible female NPT fitting, enabling a flexible setup between different propane components.

Best-use scenarios

• Propane systems on RV trailers and campers
• Fish cookers, turkey fryers, and barbecue grills
• Connecting a larger tank to a smaller cylinder for extended use

Important notes

Not for potable drinking water applications. Use the included tape as directed and ensure all connections are clean and dry before assembly. Always inspect for leaks after setup in a safe environment. This adapter is designed for propane or natural gas lines.
