Do you have a low or no flame on your Weber Q?
This
fitting will allow the use of any
propane tank hose and regulator found at home depot, lowe's, ace hardware, amazon etc.
FITS:
Weber Q Q100, Baby Q1000, Baby Q1200, Q200, Q2000, Q2200 or variant of
same (but not the Q140 or Q1400 electric grills). This is not applicable
to the Q3XX series of propane grills.
The
Weber Q regulators are known to fail often with low flame or no flame and are expensive to
replace. This adapter eliminates the stock Weber regulator and allows you to use a less expensive regulator and the ability to use full size
20lb propane tanks.
The use of aftermarket regulators will most likely increase the BTU's making your grill hotter than the stock regulator even on the low-setting. I recommend an adjustable regulator so you have more control of the output/flame.
This
is a very easy install that can be done in about 15 minutes, but it is
recommended that this adapter conversion be completed by a licensed
plumber for safety reasons. There are many videos on YouTube.
1. Remove stock Weber regulator from the grill.
3. Install the female end of this adapter where the old regulator was attached (use teflon tape).
4.
Install new hose with low pressure tank side regulator (sold
separately) to the other male end of the adapter. The male end has a 3/8" flare.
5. Connect regulator to any standard full
size propane tank, ie, 1lb, 5lb, 10lb, 20lb, 30lb, 40lb. Note, 1lb throw away
bottles will require a 20lb to 1lb propane tank adapter/converter.
6. Slowly open propane tank valve.
7.
Test for leaks with a spray bottle filled with water an a tiny bit of
dish soap by spraying all connections when under pressure. If you see
bubbles forming at any connection, redo the connection before lighting
the grill.
