Need Help With LP Hose For Regulator

[Bull]

My (new to me) 75-200k BTU tophat radiant propane heater needs a new hose for the regulator-to-heater connection. Mine leaked like heck on the trial run, at the fitting that exits the regulator.

Anyway, I ran the info on the hose through Google, and found the following info: It's a ChuanHseng CHC 0201 1/4" I.D. with 350 PSI working pressure and 1750 PSI burst pressure. -40 degree to 60 degree Celcius working temperature.

This hose is Chinese, and I'd prefer something USA, but since I don't know exactly what I need in terms of fittings on each end, I figured I'd try and find info on the original part and let that guide my selection of a replacement.

I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out what I need.

The sticker on the hose says it's from Desa Heating Products. The sticker also has the number MH28601. One end has a male fitting, the other end a female fitting. The male fitting is too large to thread into the female fitting; I don't know what size or pitch either is.

I see that hoses come in all kinds of lengths and with a variety of fittings on each end. I don't want to order the wrong thing and lose time getting this going.

Is this enough info to get some help?

last year I went to my local farm and tractor store and picked up a high volume hose and regulator combo unit for about $25.00 Might want to go that route. Any store that sells grills and patio accessories ought to have one as well.

I was scratching my head when trying to figure out a place to go locally where there might be knowledgable people and an available product that suits my needs. There is a TSC a few miles away, but I didn't even think of them.

I ordered a made-in-USA 15' hose with 1x4" male and 1/4" female ends. I think that is what I have; we'll see.
