In a prolonged SHTF situation it will be the LITTLE things, like this, that will impact us in BIG ways. That is why I’m stocking my own SHTF hardware “store”.

[@ModernRefugee]

Great idea!

[@northerngirlhobbies]

Same

[@northerngirlhobbies]

Stock up for sure and use for barter. Also stocked the O-Rings for garden hoses. Have a great day!

[@henrymorgan3982]

If you have rubber spare parts (hoses) like this o-ring, make sure it is not exposed to the atmosphere. (ziplock) That alone will and is the usual cause of failure. A spare hose would also be a good backup. Broken o-ring, change hose now and replace o-ring later. This strategy works well if you don't want to stand in the cold replacing and o-ring in freezing weather. Great video!

[@debsmith5971]

MR you’re so right! We’re on top of mountain ⛰️ few miles from Kilauea volcano 🌋 water catchment, Propane is King!

[@johnpoole8321]

I also have the hookup to go from the old to the new. We have 100# tank with the old style but the new style we ran into the wall of the house to the propane fireplace. I will grab some O-rings though thanks for the reminder. Good to have extra regulators as well folks. For those in extreme cold, if the propane wont work you can take the connection off and use a needle in the hole if you see any ice build up. It happened to me a few times this year. Maybe because of the new big tank IDK but better than freezing . I also wrapped the hose and fittings with pool noodles put an insulated jacket over it and through a blanket over it and it's been good since. Stay warm and safe all.

[@ModernRefugee]

Take care.

[@mattwaters6987]

Yep. Bought a 10 pack a few years ago and your right, they do break over time. Great video. 👍😊

[@capnjimmy7357]

I have a tackle box filled with various o rings . I got from Amazon for about 10 $. It's came in handy before. I probably should pick up a couple extra propane fitting o rings 👍

[@MichiganHiker]

Really good information I've been using propane for years, I've seen them crack the o-rings but never had them totally come off. I use a silicone on them it won't break down the rubber compounds. But I will be picking up a few of the o-rings that's a great idea thanks so much.

[@fgallogallo7]

Good morning MR. I’ll make a suggestion. I bought English and metric O-rings in packs of I believe 650 different size O-rings more than likely 10 different sizes or more but that’s how you get a kit. sets for $7.99 at Harbor freight. And I did check and they have this size. I think I have enough O-rings to last lifetime long as you keep them in the plastic containers they claim they will not crack, another great video for important stuff for people to have extras. For around $16 including taxes you be glad you did. Have a great day.

[@ModernRefugee]

Great idea!

[@tonygotts199]

Vaseline on natural rubber (light rub) prevents it from rotting

[@3adscout826]

@@tonygotts199 many of those O rings are nitrile

[@n2skcmo]

In my experience the petroleum in Vaseline will eat rubber.

[@craigtegeler4677]

Yep! it sure will eat rubber! Some silicone spray the food grade just might be better!!

[@armedjames2279]

Yep I got the other one and I pray it doesn’t break ever winter lol 😂 thanks for sharing what you know sir very helpful 😀

[@rattrap8819]

Thank you good Sir for the plethora of wonderful ideas, tips, and tricks. Cheers from Tampa.

[@cowgirlhippiechick9911]

I have the old kind and noticed last weekend when switching tanks on the camper...my o ring is rotted! Great tip! Need to get extras!

[@CamppattonFamilyCompound]

I have a couple of hoses and adaptors that don't use O-rings. I have a couple of O-ring kits from Harbor Freight and they work too.

[@wherami]

Oh yeah I needed some o rings for a water system last year. I bought a big multi pack and has come in handy

Good tip , having a cup with you, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

[@JT-2012]

Great idea!👍 Just don't store them in an outdoor shed or hot garage. I've seen them get sticky and essentially melt or disintegrate. We're always replacing O-rings in Florida.😬

[@monkeyfoodgarden]

Thank you sir. Great information again on items that commonly get overlooked. I have been going thru my items and looking for what I need to stock for "spare parts" for the trucks, tractors, and common household items that we use every day. Still go by the 2 is 1 and 1 is none mentality. If the trade wars get going I'm sure that what was easy to get today will be a bit more difficult in the near future. Not a bad thing if it brings back made in the USA y'all just need to think ahead a bit. Have a blessed day.

[@ModernRefugee]

[@ambrosemclaren145]

God bless you, MR. Thanks. Just ordered them. We have five or six propane cookers/ grill/stove. Would have never thought about the O ring.

[@michaelkaer]

Thank you for that tip. I will check my hoses to see if I need some.

[@backachershomestead]

Great topic again. I've stocked up on these a few years ago. Not sure how long they will last in storage. Also I've had the plastic coupler crack. I'm sure over tightened and sun combination.

[@dannymatthews6365]

Another small thing you might want to keep on hand are thermocouples for the furnace and water heater.

[@ModernRefugee]

Yup.

[@ModernRefugee]

igniters for furnaces are also a point of failure.

I would keep them in a cool dark place in a sealed container.

Yup. Stock up.

[@henrymorgan3982]

That problem in my opinion is done.

[@ThisTooShallPass2030]

@ what problem is over?

[@akbychoice]

When you run out of propane! Have back up plans. Redundant systems in place.

[@marygallagher3428]

Thanks for the tip MR! Amazon has some but the listing says "Danco 9/16 in. OD x 3/8 in. ID, Rubber, #8 O-Ring, 20 per bag, 35725W" instead of a stock number of 3572B as is on your package. Do you think the ones on Amazon with the 35725W stock number would work?

Yes. Those should work fine.
