Cody's Corner of Random Rehabbing & Shenanigans

I used those before as well. But they are really designed to be used as table leveling inserts. They are not really designed as "Tube Connecting" inserts. They don't hold as well and the square flange on the end does not fit inside the tube, so it sticks out when installed.

In your opinion is there a best option product or is it just that style in general? Is there a stainless steel option?
 
Bruce said:
IMO: The actual tube connecting nuts are superior. They don't have the exposed square flange and they have dual star nuts which should have better grip than a single star nut. And, after all, that is what Weber originally used. I do not know of a stainless version of them.

You have a personal favorite brand or just that style in general?
 
The McMaster link I provided are ones that I have ordered and used in the past and was very happy with them. I could not find exactly what I wanted off Amazon or Ebay. But, I have not ordered or looked for them for a couple years.

Cool thanks Bruce! I don't need any at the moment but might need some for a project coming up.
 
I bought a ten pack and have used them on a few rehabs. I think I still have a couple left. Even though I now usually weld the failed connections, I do like having a couple sets of the connectors on hand as options.
 
There you go. Thanks Cody. I think the ones for the 1-1/4" tubing are harder to find. Does anyone have a good (less expensive) source for those?
 
Well, I figured I’d leave this here as I’ve been pretty non-existent on here for a while.

Last week we unexpectedly lost my father. He went quickly and peacefully, as he had hoped for, just not so soon. I am likely going to be taking some time away from grill rehabbing. Hopefully at some point this winter I’ll get back to it.

Those of you that enjoy an adult beverage, please feel free to raise a glass (without alcohol would be fine, too), to a man that thinks what we do, is a little crazy, but really f-in cool. 🍻

Sorry about your loss Cody. My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family.
 
Cody, I'd wondered. As I had PMd you a bit ago about a paint question. (don't worry about it right now). My sincere condolences and wishes to you and your family. Take good care of yourself and your family
