Manifold differences between older Genesis 1000 and and later Silver?

[Stefan H]

I have read somewhere there might have been difference in gas pressure on the manifolds depending on model. I being stupid took apart a few Silver and 2 older 1000 and stashed the manifolds away without marking them. Meaning I really don’t know anymore which one goes in which grill because I thought it would not matter. How do I identify the correct ones for the correct grill? Thanks.

I don’t know anything about differing pressures. The spacing between the valves is not the same, though. The 1000 manifold has the burners set further apart then the Silver 3-burner manifold. That is why you cannot substitute manifolds or control panels between these models, even though the hoods and grates are interchangeable.

Thanks Jon. That helps a lot. Always something to learn from you experts here.

Another easy way since I have both the valve stems on the 1000 are way longer than the Silvers put the manifolds together you will see the difference.
