<h3>About AP Products</h3><p><strong>AP Products</strong> has been a cornerstone of the recreational vehicle industry for over three decades. Founded in 1994 by Tom Manning Sr. — with roots going back to 1992 — the company began with a straightforward goal: offering a complementary line of packaged screws to support an existing supplier relationship. What started as a niche hardware offering has since grown into one of the most comprehensive RV replacement parts portfolios in North America.</p><p>Headquartered in Coldwater, Michigan, AP Products serves both the OEM and aftermarket segments of the RV world. Their catalog spans everything from adhesives and sealants to electrical components, braking systems, doors, locks, seals, and slide-out parts — making them a true one-stop source for RV dealers and enthusiasts alike. The company operates a group of 13 brands, focused on bringing high-quality, often American-made products to market and filling gaps that other suppliers have overlooked.</p><h3>A Broad Product Range Built Around RV Life</h3><p>One of AP Products' most recognized product segments is <a href="/2843-ap-body-trim-molding-46915">body trim molding</a>. Whether you&apos;re restoring a sun-faded travel trailer or refreshing a Class A motorhome, AP Products offers aluminum insert trim molding in a range of finishes — including Polar White, Colonial White, Black, and Mill Finish — designed to fit securely and deliver a clean, factory-like appearance. These trim solutions are made in the USA and backed by a limited warranty.</p><p>Lighting is another area where AP Products shines. Through their StarLights sub-brand and their broader electrical lineup, AP Products offers a wide array of <a href="/2843-ap-driving-light-bulb-16367">driving light bulbs</a> and RV-specific lighting solutions.

Product Details

The AP ME1653AR is a soft nose POL (Prest-O-Lite) excess flow adapter designed for safe propane connections on RVs, campers, and portable LP gas applications. This safety fitting features integrated excess flow protection that automatically shuts off gas flow in the event of a sudden pressure drop or hose rupture, protecting against dangerous propane leaks.

Key Features:

  • Solid brass construction for durability and corrosion resistance
  • Soft nose POL connection prevents damage to cylinder valve seals
  • 1/4 inch male NPT outlet fits standard low-pressure propane regulators
  • Brass handwheel for easy hand-tightening without tools
  • Left-hand thread POL nut fits all standard LP gas cylinder valves
  • Built-in excess flow valve rated at 0.9 GPM for safety
  • Ideal for adapting 20 lb to 30 lb refillable propane tanks

This adapter is commonly used in RV applications to connect portable propane cylinders to low-pressure regulators for appliances, heaters, and cooking equipment. The excess flow feature provides critical safety protection by automatically stopping gas flow if a line break or excessive flow condition is detected.
