<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.

Their hardware line covers both exterior and interior needs, from compartment hardware and screw covers to cabinet hardware sized to fit travel trailers, fifth wheels, Class A and Class C motorhomes, and toy haulers.</p><h3>Trusted by RV Dealers and Owners Nationwide</h3><p>AP Products has built its reputation not just on product breadth, but on a genuine commitment to supporting the dealer network. The company has managed dozens of national retail and OEM accounts, and their parts are stocked widely to ensure availability when and where RV owners need them most.

Product Details

The AP ME517 is a QCC (Quick Closing Coupling) Type 1 propane connector designed for LP gas applications in RVs, motorhomes, and outdoor appliances. This essential fitting features a 1-5/16" female ACME thread inlet connection and a 1/4" male NPT outlet, allowing secure attachment between propane cylinders with Type 1 QCC valves and LP gas appliances or regulators.

Key Features:

  • Type 1 ACME connector with built-in excess flow safety feature
  • 1-5/16" female ACME inlet x 1/4" male NPT outlet threads
  • Black handle for easy hand-tightening without tools
  • Rated for 70,000 BTU capacity

  • Durable brass construction for long-lasting performance

This connector is commonly used to adapt modern Type 1 QCC propane cylinder valves to various RV and camping appliances. The excess flow feature automatically restricts gas flow in the event of a line break or excessive flow condition, providing an important safety measure. The black handle allows for tool-free installation and removal while ensuring a secure, leak-free connection.

Easy to use

Great place to shop, low prices and ease of website to browse!

Fast and easy

Was fast and easy just waiting to see if it's what I ordered

Very easy and great price on this item.

First time order. Quick and easy

So far so good!

Autoplicity had the lowest list prices I could find anywhere for KC hilites! I was only going to get one pair, but the price was so good, I bought two! Shipping wasn't free and that's my only complaint. Regardless, it was only 12 dollars for a 300 and some-odd dollar order. Shipped in 3 days; should arrive soon!!!

Ordering was easy and quick. Your form showed Paypal but wouldn't let me select it.

Great, will shop again in the future.

Good shopping experience online, cheapest price available online for the product I bought. Top quality automotive products.

Great price, fast shipping and the items was correct. A perfect transaction. Thank you!
