Control valve

[Robert - Resabee]

I have a 2002 Weber genesis silver c. I need to replace the side burner control valve but am having trouble finding any online for sale at retail sites as well as used.. any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I'm not sure you can buy that valve anymore either, I'm leaning towards not. I do occasionally see the entire side burner for those grills for sale on eBay. Out of curiosity, what's wrong with that one, maybe it can be fixed?

If you blow up the first pic you can see the hole....I'm ignorant with the verbage...in line between the two screws....leaking ...follow the top of the pic straight down..you'll see it

Yes, I see it now. That seems like a weird place for it to just break like that but there it is.

That is pretty much just a retaining collar. Maybe a small dab of JB Weld would do the job

I was thinking the same lmichaels...when I push the stem down I can see movement inside...made me nervous....I'll try JB and see what happens....thanks

Do let the "peanut gallery" know

Its brass . Take it apart - clean it up with a brush - and sweat some solder into the hole/crack with a good amount of flux.

OK, is that really a HOLE or just a nick or imperfection in the housing? Does gas leak from it?
