Looking for Genesis NG valves

[Dave-MI]

Hi all - I have a Genesis Silver A that I am switching from Propane to NG. I have everything I need other than the valves.

As I understand it, I don't need the whole manifold (because I already have the appropriate orifices) I just need the on/off/level valves from a Genesis grill.

The Silver A is a two-burner model, so I just need two valves. Anyone have a few to sell?

Hi Dave, the Silver A has two types of manifolds - square and round. The valves are constructed differently for the manifolds.

Best to include a picture of the grill and the manifold.

Good you noted that. I've only seen and worked on 2 or 3 of those and did not know they had 2 different manifolds. The ones I saw were round with screw in valves

 

[DanHoo]

Yeah, there are two different valves and also slightly different graphics on the control panel.

The round one has less "sweep" for the valves with Low around the 5-oClock position.

The square one has more sweep with Low at the 3 oClock position

Below pics are for a Silver B, yet it should also apply to the Silver A

round on the right square on the left. the round one is older than the square one.



older style control panel with less valve sweep ( round manifold )



newer style control panel with more valve sweep ( square manifold )

Thanks - my manifold is the round type.

Thank you for the pictures. You need valves from a round manifold Silver A, B or C

Or

You can replace the manifold assembly with a square one from a Silver A or a 2005/2006 2 burner Spirit

Thanks for all of the fitment help!

So I'm looking for these parts, or I could still do a swap with someone wanting to switch from NG to propane.

I would keep an eye out for the appropriate silver A or B on FBMP, they are generally easy to find and cheap. You can then swap over whatever parts you need and resell the donor grill.

A NG 2 burner Genesis is a rare bird though.......................sadly

 

[Dave-MI]

Yeah, I have been keeping an eye out and haven't seen anything for a while. I figured swapping out the valves would be more likely than finding a 2-burner manifold. That way I can get a couple of valves from one of the 3-burner units.

That is what I would do. First off the 3 burner is WAY more common and by virtue of it being more common more likely to find the correct valves

This is true.
