Hi,

I just bought Performer with gas assist. I also got a Q adapter hose that the sales person said would fit Performer also. Problem is that the connector doesn't fit.

Here's a picture of the adapter I got:

Here's a picture I found from Amazon:

The end of this adapter looks like it could fit if I unscrewd the connector for the disposable bottle, is this how you are supposed to install this?

(Now the connector fits these:

.

The Gas tank end is different in European bottles, but I can easily change that if I get the right connector for the Performer end.

Thanks in advance,

Tuomo

Thanks for the confirmation Evan!

So when I get it, will I have to unscrew the brass connector that the disposable bottle is normally attached?

well that is how it works on our US models but I , to be honest, am unsure if the connection is the same on EU models....

No problem, I had a look on the manual from Weber US and the parts diagram seems exactly the same.

I could not find any information about this for Performer. There was a long discussion about baby Q, but the problem is that with baby Q, you replase the whole unit (including the regulator). In performer you cannot do this (well, you can but wouldn't want) because the requlator is connected to the valve and lighting unit in Performer.

I think I'll take my changes with Amazon and order the parts from there... (of course they don't ship to Europe but luckily my friend is visiting US next week

)
