The regulator that came with the conversion kit is probably fine if you don't want to spend the extra money on a Weber branded one.

I agree,

Yes change the entire manifold use an OEM regulator. Beware aftermarket ones are sometimes too high pressure many marked as 1 psi which is really about 65% MORE pressure than the grill should have. Spec is 11" WC

Hey I just had a question for you if you can help you seem to really know your stuff I’m looking to do the conversion from gas to propane and getting the conversion kit is no problem but I want to change for the proper manifold like you said would you know what manifold or part number I could get that would work with my Weber Genesis silver B and be much appreciated

OK, there is no such thing as a "conversion kit" for any Weber grill. On many if not most Weber grills the valves are different between LP and NG. IDK why but they are. There are some however that are the same and that is luck of the draw. Though I've only seen it on gen 2 Summits. In any case you need the manifold and the proper regulator (if applicable to the model) to complete the job. Finding the manifold (assuming someone else hasn't butchered it up) is tough

Post a pic of your silver B and a pic of the control panel.

edit: if you can include the 4 digit number on the lower left corner of the control panel that will help. It might be 8101 or 8128 or something similar.

Silver B's used a couple of different manifolds over the years. You can tell which one you need by the markings on the control panel. There is a "regular" one and a 270 degree sweep version.
