Question re: burner tube length

[MarkCuda]

I know there is a 4 page discussion on burner tudes and I'm going to start another
The burner tubes that I ordered came today from Amazon.
The crossover tube is 13 inches long, it falls out, can someone actually measure one that is supposed to be 13 and a half inches ?
The brand that has a 13.1/2 inch crossover tube and 29.1/8 inch main tube, that's what I'll order.
Thank you in advance

Yes, the crossover tube is supposed to be 13 1/2" long. I and a few others have received burner tubes with the crossover being too short.It seems they mix them up with the shorter one for a Silver B.

Yeah, that's seems to be the downside to ordering these aftermarket burner tubes. Sometimes they send the wrong crossover with them.

Are these Weber burner tubes or aftermarket burner tubes? The problem I had with aftermarket was not the length of the crossover. Either the diameter of the crossover is too small or the holes are too big. They fit very loose where the Weber ones are tight

at $33 they are aftermarket

 

[MarkCuda]

The burner tubes are knockoffs, if I am assured that the Weber tubes will have the 13 and a half inch crossover tube, I'll pony up and buy them.
Webers part number is 7506.
I could tack weld the crossover tube in but I shouldn't have to.

I've never heard of anyone getting a short crossover on a Weber set, just the aftermarket ones.

I have bought from them before for Genesis x000s. I think I bought three and have used two of them.

an older thread with the fun I had.

need help finding burners for genesis 1000 that have the correct length crossover tube

Does anyone have a recommendation for a set of burners with the proper length crossover tube for a Genesis 1000 / Genesis 3 cookbox? The ones I've ordered recently have too short of a cross over tube. I need 13 1/2 yet I'm getting ones with 12 3/4. more details... last Wednesday I...

I just want someone to actually measure a crossover tube and post a picture.

Thank you very very much
But, is a guy going to get the same length crossover when he orders the complete tube assembly, that is my concern.

What, you didn't believe me when I told you it was 13 1/2" ? I measured one of the ones I have laying around my garage just to double check.

 

[MarkCuda]

Thank you Steve
I'm keeping the Amazon burner tubes and I just ordered the crossover tube from Grillparts.
Thank you all for helping me here, I truly appreciate it

the short tubes work great on a silver B

 

[MarkCuda]

Here's how short I am, yes, there is a joke there

I hope you read into the product more than just looking at that one screen..... You have to actually LOOK at the dimensions of things to KNOW they are what they say they are and compatible with.... and even then you just have to hope. I've seen waaaay too many conflicting 'claims', pictures and dimensions all over amazon that make me pause and dig deeper. Sometimes the discrepancy is actually for the better - like my burner tubes - but that is a rarity.
