On screwing regulator hose back on Grill Butane is coming from leak between knob you turn and butane tank…I assume the hose and regulator need to be peplaced.. Hey Mannon!! Give us a call so we can troubleshoot with you further — Thanks! Thank you, JP. I have a small hose with 2 female connections it go to the side burner on a charmglow I checked 5 different cg dealers and none have it or have not even heard of it what gives? Unfortunately, we do not sell that part either.
The Brinkmann corporation is the manufacturer of your Charmglow grill — maybe you can contact them for that part. Good luck! Good morning. Could you recommend the replacement part number and price so I can order one? It looks like you have a 4-burner grill that uses cast iron rail type burners.
I would suggest the Hi-Flow regulator for that grill. Whichever regulator you use, you will need to make sure is made specifically for a gas grill use. Hi Kim! Sorry for my long delay in answering. We actually just started selling these again! They had been unavailable for the past year. There is a small plastic gasket inside the collar that attaches the regulator to the LP tank. Mine has broken into many pieces, I think this why I get no gas flow to the burners. Is this a common occurrence?
At any rate, I believe a new regulator and hose is needed, just wanted to confirm that this gasket is essential. It would be my suggestion to just buy an entirely new one. In almost all cases the answer is no. The regulator is usually what people call the regulator and hose assembly for a propane grill. In recently-made grills, all the regulation on a natural gas grill is done through the natural gas valve.
Natural gas grills just need to be hooked up to the gas line or ported to the gas port on the outside of your house using a quick connect hose Natural Gas Quick Connect Kit How this helps! I have two tanks. One tank expired and we got a new one. When I tried the new tank, it leaked.
It blows gas out the connection between the tank and regulator. I switched back to my old tank and had no leak. Are the tanks different? Do I need a new regulator? Hey Dave! The biggest likelihood is that you do need a new regulator. We have lots of options available and we source them directly from the manufacturer to get you a great product at the best deal.
Hi Pam! I hope it helps with your question but please let me know if you need to know anything else! Because you are not replacing the burners, heat plates or ignitors on your grill, it should be the same process. Most regulators have a standard fitting that makes removing and replacing them the same from grill to grill. If you have any other questions about your regulator or other parts for your grill, just let me know! You must be logged in to post a comment.

Technically, the regulator is the silver colored disc part that looks like this: The hose connects it to the brass fitting which is the part that screws onto your grill. As I mentioned, the regulator brings gas to your grill burners. Here are some indicators you need a new gas grill regulator Low heat coming from your burners when your gas is turned on high.
Do a visual check on your burners to make sure they are all in one piece and there are no obvious holes or problems. Your burners light up unevenly. For example, if the burner on the far right flickers or hardly lights, the middle burner has low flame, and the left burner has a normal looking flame. Over time your grill gets less and less hot.
Last week it took 10 minutes to grill some burgers, but today it took 15 to grill the same burgers. What else could go wrong? What are the differences in gas grill regulators? How do you know? Special Cases Keep in mind, a standard regulator and hose will not work if you have: Natural gas grill NG A crimped hose onto the valve or manifold in your grill. The following ignition procedures are written assuming you are turning the burners off 1st, then the Propane Tank.
Therefore, each sequence starts from the all off positions. While it is acceptable to turn the burners off and leave the Propane Tank on, we strongly recommend you to go ahead and turn the Tank off also. Turn on burners. Turn on Propane. Turn on your propane tank. Now, you can turn the burners on.
Basically, the key here is to be sure to have your burners off before you turn on the Propane. This is because if you turn the burners on first the gas will not be pressurized in the hose causing the Bypass to trigger. To the system, it appears there is a gas leak; hence, the bypass triggers.
Turn on Propane. Turn on your propane tank. Now, you can turn the burners on. To put it simply, the key is to be sure you have your burners off before you turn on the Propane. If you turn the burners on first the gas will not be pressurized in the gas line causing the Bypass to trigger. You see, in this case the system detects there is a gas leak; hence, the bypass triggers.
Even though there is no leak; because the back pressure is low the system will think there is. The burner will not light with igniter or match. Burner does not get hot enough. Low or incomplete burner flame pattern. Turn off the gas at the propane tank.
Disconnect the hose from the propane tank. Really, it comes down to the BTU requirements of your grill over your personal preference. Step 1. Look at the information sticker on your grill. Be sure to add all of the BTUs main burners, rotisserie burner or side burner. For example, on a Gas Grill, the information sticker will list the main burner BTUs this may be in total main burner or per burner.
If listed per burner, you must multiply the total of burners times the BTU per burner. If there is a rotisserie burner or a side burner, those are listed separately, as they generally have a different BTU rating than the main burners.
As you can see from the below Napoleon Grill example, the information sticker located on the back of the cart shows the main burner BTU per burner. They also give you a total BTU not all manufacturers do this. Step 2. If your grill is under 60, BTUs, a simple hose and a basic regulator kit will be sufficient.
Step 3. If your grill is over 60, BTUs, then a single or two-stage regulator may be the best option. In the above example, this grill is over 60, BTUs, so it would not be a good fit for a basic regulator kit.
Step 4. If you have a built-in grill, you will need to use a stainless steel flex hose with your regulator. We also want to be sure to mention appliance regulators. These regulators are essentially backup regulators and attach to the manifold of the grill and should be on any built-in grill.
Keep in mind, you still need a regulator that goes to the tank. Step 5: Make sure you check the BTU rating of the regulator you are purchasing. If you need help choosing the right LP gas regulator for your grill, please contact us.
Tip: The safest way to go is by connecting the gas hose and regulator with a brass fitting in a custom hose regulator kit. This way, if any piece were to go bad, it can be replaced. This is likely due to a low flame caused by a decreased flow of gas. A low flow of gas is likely caused by an LP gas regulator issue. This is because regulators, like any grill part, are prone to wear and tear. Note that gas regulators cannot and should not be repaired.
They need to be replaced. Have more questions about what LP gas regulators are, how they work, and how to choose the right one for you? Check out our FAQ section below.
