WTB- NG Manifold for Genesis ii LX 640

[Joe Boscolovic]

My 6 burner is LP but I want to swap over to NG since I have a gas line for a grill. Being a 6 burner, an LP tank doesn't last too long. Anyone have a good used manifold they want to sell? I found new online but they are backordered. I'm not sure if Weber stopped making them. The Weber part number for the manifold is 66477. I'm on the east coast, in NJ. Thanks.

I'm guessing the valves on a six burner are the same as a three burner.

If so, you could get two three burner manifolds and swap the valves into the six burner manifold.

It's the valves that differ.

Thanks. I thought of that also. A 3 burner manifold is almost as much as a 6 burner. 2 of them would be more than I paid for the whole grill !!

Looks like my new manifold shipped. I ordered it from a company in Canada called Friendly Fires. They were the only outfit that actually gave me a ship date. They said 6/17 and they shipped it 6/17. They were also the best price and very good to deal with. I'm supposed to get it 6/23. I'll keep you all posted.

Got the new manifold. Took me 2 1/2 hours to swap it out including a half hour trip to the hardware store for a flare adapter for the NG regulator.
Took 5 minutes to adjust the airflow and it's burning great. Was able to get the grill up to 725* !! It struggled to get to 675* on LP.

I have the LP manifold available if anyone is looking for it or just the gas valves for a Genesis 2 LX grill ( I assume the valves are all the same, whether 3,4 or 6 burner, but check your part number.) The manifold is part number 66481, for Genesis II LX S-640 LP Model # 63004001. The valves themselves have the number 73871 stamped on the stem. I also have the tank scale assembly, part # 66756 and the panel reinforcement bar that goes behind it.
