Even if we do not have a tank under the Weber side shelf we will have a gas line attached to a large tank elsewhere.
#Converitng a webber gas grill from propane to naturnal gas install
However, if we remove the LP orifice and install a natural gas orifice we have to consider our pressure. Now if we’re converting from NG to LP we will remove the natural gas orifice and we install the propane orifice. If we have one pound per square inch of water pressure in a half-inch garden hose we will have a different flow of water than the same garden hose with 10 pounds per square inch, right?! The amount of pressure allowed through the BBQ regulator will also affect the BTU’s in the grill. Usually we do not need to completely remove the manifold but just need to loosen the manifold so it slides away enough to extract the valves from the burners.Ĭhange the orifice on the weber control valve to convert fuel to LP or NG.Įvery gas appliance is regulated for a particular pressure setting.
In their intelligent foresight Weber attached these brackets with thumb-screws easily unscrewed to slide the entire manifold assembly off the burners. Under the manifold are two flat steel support brackets holding the manifold pipe to the right side of the barbecue firebox. The other option is to below the gas manifold on the far right side. If the botls are not totally covered in cooking greases and years of sauces we can unscrew these bolts, lift the burner up from the far left corner and slide the burner away from the burner. We can go into the fire box with the cooking grates and flavorizer bars (Weber heat shield vaporizers) out of the way so the far left side bolts holding the pipe burners in place are accessible. The gas orifice is screwed into the tip of the control valve and determines the BTU rating of the grill and fuel type. Which is nuts! Even as a Weber warranty service provider we and they are not permitted to perform a process as ridiculously simple as converting to natural gas or converting to propane. We get these requests because we know gas barbecue repair technology very well with many, many years of experience - and because Weber made all their dealers sign a legal contract agreeing not to convert fuel type in any Weber models.
We go get requests for assistance with Weber barbecue grill gas conversions. A 20 year old Weber is worth 10 of the new barbecues being sold with the Weber name on them today. Our work ethics are very strict so please note we tried vehemently to dissuade the client from buying a new model instead of repairing this old model. A client purchased a new Weber barbecue and asked us to dispose of this old model. We rescued this old Weber barbecue grill. American Made Weber Models manufactured before 2007 have the ability to stay in use for multiple decades with minimal replacements.
