Cleveland, OH ---  Mr. Heater Inc. has announced the introduction of a new Buddy Series oil-free hose for connecting its line of Portable Buddy and Big Buddy heaters to 20-lb. propane tanks for long term use. The Buddy Series  hose can also be used as a tank connection for small barbeque grills and camping stoves.

“The new Buddy Series hose is made from a new oil-free material that eliminates the build-up of residue that can reduce the flow of propane to the heater over time,” states Jeff Haire, Vice President of Hoses, Fittings and Accessories at Mr. Heater. “This is a great opportunity for retailers to offer their customers a connection solution that contributes to the longer lasting performance of Mr. Heater’s Buddy heaters as well as other small propane appliances.”

The new 10 ft. Buddy Series Hose Connection (Stock number F273704) is available in a clear pegboard-ready plastic clam shell package with a suggested retail price starting at $31.95.

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Heater Inc., a subsidiary of Enerco Group, Inc., is a leading manufacturer of gas-fired portable heating products, propane hose connections, fittings and accessories. For more information contact Jeff Haire at 800-251-0001 or visit www.mrheater.com.
