Quick partial disassembly of Weber genesis 1000

[Cody Bratton]

Personally, I would use an adapter, probably a 45 of some sort, just for a little extra room for wrenches. Also remember to use tape/dope on those fittings (not saying it like a jerk, just as a concern).

Just remove the brass nipple. If I've taken one like that off I must have taken 20 of them off. Pretty easy really

That's interesting. I have this spare Genesis 1000 manifold and the fitting for the regulator is on the side of it instead of the bottom like yours. View attachment 121824

Yeah, I have another 1000 I fixed up and gave to my father. The intake hole is just like the one in your picture. Also on the how to video for changing a regulator on the 1000 posted here it shows the hole on the side as well. That’s what made me wonder what is more typical.

I got it off by cutting as close to the metal on the hose as possible and had to force it under the valve. What do you mean by the brass nipple?

Where I circled simply remove then the fitting unscrews from the manifold

Oh yeah, that would make total sense. I actually briefly tried that but could not find wrench thin enough. Found a small crescent wrench that would work just now actually, oh well next time. So I guess this bottom location is not too uncommon?

Not at all.
