My new fitting and hose with regulator arrived yesterday. With all the confusion in how the web page Grill-Repair.com has the fitting listed, it did fit correctly. Happy about that!

Here is a good chart I found to help me at least understand what the heck I'm looking at. And yes, I think Brian B Atlanta understands what I hope the vendor did with their description on their site. I do agree it is confusing perhaps more so than they are intending.

I understand what you are saying Brian, However here is the explanation as to why they list it as 1/4 on their page. Below is from the youtube video on how to change it and in the comments from grill-repair.com @David Barhome Plumbing connections are measured by the inside diameter of the hose...

Looks like I figured out the answer to my own question. I ordered the below adapter to update and replace the original hose and regulator. http://www.grill-repair.com/images/parts/gasfitting2.jpg 00012 Brass fitting for gas hose connection. 3/8 inch flared male to 1/4 inch pipe male fitting...

I will be buying a new hose and regulator. My 1999 Genesis still has the original elbow fitting from the manifold to the hose which I did find was leaking. I've seen where others have picked up a new adapter to match up to the new version of the regulator and hose. Could someone please verify...

I totally agree with what you are saying about the LP vs NG valves. What would i look for inside the valves to confirm they are LP? The grill does have a propane scale, a faint LP on whats left of the tag, LP hose and regulator, the remnants of the clip on the hose that held the quick...

I am glad to hear that the orifices are likely correct at #57 or #58. I am pretty sure I have a new regulator I bought and never used for my Redhead Genesis in our condo in the Mountains. I will try a new regulator and let you know!

From the small amount of print left on the ID decal, it is definitely a LP model from the factory. What I need to know is what size the orifices should be for LP.

Does anyone know what size orifice is standard for LP Genesis 1000? I measured with the drill bit and was able to fit a #57 and #58 bit inside all three orifices. They looked original and untouched and the grill had the original LP hose and regulator so I would guess that the orifices are not...

Bruce, I power washed, scraped and used easy off oven cleaner on the inside. My son wanted to use the old grates and flavorizer bars for this summer since they have some life left in them. He will be buying replacements in the future. In other words its well used but "cleanish" inside.

I had a lot of fun cleaning this grill up and as I said before, this forum is filled with info on anything you may need. I just had to search a bunch of threads for the nitty gritty. Most of what you need is in this sticky thread at the top of the Weber gas grill page...

We were heading to my brothers house for Sunday dinner and we drove past this grill sitting out for trash. I didn't have anyway to pick it up until my son stopped by with his new truck. I said don't get mad but we are going to go pick up this greasy old Weber grill down the street and put it...

Thought someone here may want to check this Redhead out. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2355880828018104/

Dan, Do you know what the A3 and other markings to the right of the circled 99 mean by chance?

I was lucky enough to have a truck available the day we drove past a Weber Genesis 1000LX sitting out for the trash. I did not take many pictures of its condition before, but I will add some as I go and clean it up. It is in excellent shape, only parts missing were the burners, knobs, and...
