Weber Adapter Hose Q-Series and Gas Go-Anywhere Grills, 6-Feet, Black

Works perfectly!

We purchased this adaptor hose for our new Weber 54060001 Q2200 Liquid Propane Grill, and have been using the grill for several weeks now.The Q2200 grill is designed to use the smaller disposable propane bottles (it will accept both the 16.4 oz LP cylinders or the smaller 14.1 oz size) and they attach directly to the grill. It's a nice arrangement that also keeps the bottle up and out of the way, but the capacity of the bottles is considerably smaller than a full size tank. They're also not re-usable, so from the standpoint of not wasting resources, I think they are less desirable.The adaptor hose simply attaches to the fitting on the grill at one end, and is long enough to fit to the propane tank that will simply sit on the ground next to the grill. This grill and cart doesn't provide any provision to hold the propane tank itself, so it's an arrangement that takes away some of the ease with moving the grill from place to place and makes it slightly more cumbersome, but that's ok.One additional thing that some users might need would be adding these Brushtech Propane Hose Safety Guards to protect the hose from being damaged by critters. I haven't done that (yet) myself, but it looks like it will take two or three of the safety guards to fully enclose this 6' hose.There are also other adaptor hoses available that will accomplish the same thing. For example:- Bayou Classic M5LPH, 36" Stainless Braided Low Pressure Hose, 1-PSI Regulator, 3/8" Flare Swivel Fitting (note that a Anderson Metals Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 3/8" Flare x 1/8" Female Pipe will be required in order to fit to the Weber grill).The Bayou Classic hose may well be a better choice, since it's made of stainless braided material. I selected the Weber hose simply because I felt that the Weber product should be suitable for our uses, but if I have any issues with it over time I will return to this review and update it to report our experience.

Originally bought a cheaper hose to connect to an 20lb tank and the flame would constantly go out. Not an issue with this one and I’m no longer burning through those small propane tanks.

Previous hose developed a block in the hose.

I have a Q100 and had one of these hoses - it would never work - I couldn't get gas to flow. I took a caliper and measured the length of the nipple coming out of the grill (piece that depresses the schraeder type valve in the hose) b/c it look to me like the nipple wasn't long enough to depress the valve in the end of the hose. I found a 1/8" difference between the hose valve and regular small (3lb?) tanks that I normally use. I called Weber thinking that maybe I had a defective hose - they didn't really help, so I gave it to a buddy to try on his. Long story short - you have to remove the flat rubber washer from the grill nipple in order for this hose to screw in far enough so the nipple can depress the valve inside and allow gas to flow. There is a good chance that you'll tear the rubber washer while taking it out as it is actually sitting in a groove inside and has to be stretched pretty far to get it off. Easy enough to do, but not w/o damaging the rubber ring. I don't plan on using the small green bottles anymore so that's okay for me. One final note - I thought that having a big tank might increase pressure and flame adjustability but it didn't really. Love the Q, but do wish it had a little more range in flame adjustability.

I hate overpaying for a name brand. I am convinced the generic hoses do the same thing, but Weber scares you into buying the original brand.Nonetheless, it was as advertised and seems like really good quality.Ultimately, no regrets.

Make sure you read the instructions, especially the waiting for about 1 minute after turning on the propane tank for its safety valve.Fits like it’s supposed to when the Q1200 is on the table and the propane tank is under the table

Great way to save and not use the small tanks at a tailgate!
