Screw size

[k walsh]

Can someone please help me with the size of the small screws that hold on the propane burner valve of .y genesis 1000. I dropped the two of the below my deck into a patch of stinging nettles! I tried to find them but am covered in calamine lotion.
Thanks

Have you looked online for a schematic? Or call Weber? Just an idea

 

[Steve Hoch]

Are you talking about these screws?

 

[k walsh]

Yes!!!!!!

 

[Steve Hoch]

Yes!!!!!!

I don't know what size they are but I know the subject has come up before here so somebody has to know. You can try a thread search for the info.

Getting the right size, thread pattern and length is going to be tough. Probably better off just looking for a Genesis 1000 posted as a curb alert and start stripping parts.

A good magnet on a stick might pick them up while keeping you out of the nettles. Since it's a 1000 you are working on my guess is they are not metric. To me, they look to be roughly about a 4-40 screw. If you can't find the originals with a magnet you might take the valve to ACE hardware (or equiv) and try to match up some screws by carefully testing them in the threads.

6-32 x 3/8” for this style valve.

Nice!

If you ever meet someone that thinks they are smarter than you, ask them if they know the valve screw size for a Genesis 1000.

Now I know what the deal is with the screw from the flank steak on steel thread is all about!

Odd. I wonder if your valve differs from the valve I posted a picture of. That screw fit perfectly in the 6-32 nut in the photo.

The valve must be different. The 6 was too large and wouldn't pass through the top cover to get into the tapped base.

Weber used several different makes of valves over the years....They even used different makes on like models.

Just look how much different the valves are in the pictures that Gerry and I posted. They are both Genesis 1000 valves.
