Thanks!! I picked up a 2k bbq grill for free!! The flame was barely lit and the regulator was leaking through the top of it and the weep hole.. now I know that have a clog somewhere in the line..!
Can you tell me the proper size or the fitting that fits into the hose end opposite of where the regulator is. Or the barbecue end. I have an old RV stove and my 3/8 tubing from it won't fit into the regulator and hose that I purchased to hook to my 20 pound tank in my garage as a spare little oven
I have just had a Camco 2 stage 59333 fail by leaking. The small pinhole in the 1st stage that faces up (it is near the pressure gauge plug) was leaking nonstop and drained my new tank. I replaced it, but I am curious what that hole is for and how the regulator failed. Thanks.
I do not understand... if the out port is blocked... well, if the BBQ is shut off, it is the same as blocked. Would that cause problem to the regulator?
MetaView7 I believe it is actually just an over pressure vent. If the primary spring fails or a physical blockage prevents the seal of the inlet this opens to prevent that full pressure going to the appliance. It would also activate if liquid lpg entered regulator for example if the bottle was inverted.
Excellent video but I'm not sure what is going on with my Weber regulator. I have brand new burners installed on my 9 year old, 4 burner grill. I swapped it out with another LP regulator I have on a glass bead fireplace and everything works great so I'm pretty sure it is the regulator that's acting up. Weber tech support (10 year warranty) insisted it was the burners and sent me 4 new units. Oh well thanks Weber! I'll be calling you again for a regulator. After watching your video I am still unsure of the failure reason... Symptom: Turn on the tank. If I wait more than 5-10 sec - a lot of pressure builds up and when I ignite the first burner I get a huge rush of propane and a nice fire ball (contained within the grill body :-). The flame then settles down but adding a 2nd or 3rd (or 4th) burner in and the flame is barely wafting... So it seems that the diaphragm/valve combo is allowing too much gas/pressure to pass. But if that is the case, why don't all the burners have large flames? Just wondering what you think is happening inside. I fully expect to get a new one from Weber (or I'll buy one) but my left brain is curious... Thanks again for taking the time to create the video
@@travisdoe4663 Ha, well - I appreciate the insight any time it is offered... lol - I actually got Weber to replace the regulator and also learned about resetting the regulator. (and educated a family member on opening the tank too quickly... ;-) - thanks Travis.
If you turn off the grill all valves off the pressure is still in the hose like it’s blocked if the pressure in the tank should climb the regulator could bypass in the bypass the check valve on the regulator will shut down the flow automatically
Why does regulator freeze up? My propane heater will either shoot out more heat/gas or not as much when the regulator starts freezing/releasing propane. Whats going on here?

Hello, in a case where the regulator and the valve is the same unit like the one on a portable gas grill for example a Webber Q grill. Can I take apart that type of regulator valve? I own a camper and it has a low pressure quick connect for a external appliance such as a portable grill. I contacted my portable grill and it didn't work because it is putting out low pressure and the valve on the grill has a regulator. It lights up but just doesn't get hot enough to even fry a egg. Before I get myself into a situation, maybe you might know if I can take it apart the regulator to remove what regulates the gas without big consequences like a explosion. Hope to here from you soon.
Angel Torres I seriously hope your camper has not blown up by now!! Joking aside, if your main goal is “rig it so I don’t blow up” I would probably skip the mods and just buy a low pressure or adjustable regulator and remove the blow-up risk. 😝
Sorry fat fingers anyway redo the house twice now I've run into issues when it turned cold out 28 degrees seems to be the magic temp flame dwindles or very low pressures after I turn burners off to restart then too much pressure. I just shook out a bunch of water from that weep hole and my guess is if water can come out it seeped in the same way at 28 it froze causing the problem so it's doing what it's intended to do at closer inspection its stamped on the body of unit to protect it from the elements.aka rain. I disconnected mine shook a lot of water out wrapped that rascal in plastic and I'll find out tonite when things freeze again i hope I'm right if not what's another ten bucks.
Blocking the hose, was the stupidest thing I had ever heard. It is basically blocked when the valve is shut off. The weep hole is for atmospheric balance. And also, if the diaphragm ruptures.
We had a microburst come through yesterday and my bbq grill was tossed about 30 feet away. I checked the grill today and the weep hole is leaking when it turn on the propane. Does this mean I have to replace the regulator?
I think so. I had a similar issue. I have been smelling propane and notice last night that out of the peep hole I got a flame. I flew it out and turned off propane. I think you and I need need a new regulator hose.
Goodday, Please i need price quotation for the below. 1.LPG /Propane regulator with Flashback Arrestor. Your quickest respond is needed. Thank you. Regards Ignatius Moses-Mensah

this video was super helpful!! Thank you
Doesn't shutting off the BBQ look like a blockage of the hose to the burners?

I’ve counted a new hose to my Weber and there a gas leak coming out between the connecting head and the regulator. Any idea why?

Could a person remove the white plastic cut off valve and have a normal grill like before they made them
As condensation goes in there could you put Break Free in there?

Sounds like the diaphragm is shot, or the spring valve is not working correctly do to gunk buildup up probably, propane is a very dirty gas.

@@kyryder7220 lol, didn't look to see how old the post was. Glad you got it figured out though 👍
Can you do anything to fix or reset the regulator if gas is leaking out of the relief vent?
If you turn off the grill all valves off the pressure is still in the hose like it’s blocked if the pressure in the tank should climb the regulator could bypass in the bypass the check valve on the regulator will shut down the flow automatically
Praise him
So if it explodes will can you patch it up with aome epoxy and duct tape?
Only on your camper your idea you test it out if we dont hear from you guess you answered your question for us. Red green.

Will tapping it help with me fixing low flame pressure at my grill ? Can I service it.do they fail often. Thanks
That's my problem. Or do we just replace it?
I cant swear to it but I've got the exact same regulator for my stove in my camper now I been living in this sucker for 4 yrs now while I gut and redo

Who is thumbing this down? This is very helpful.
Some just dont get it?
@@sammyrothrock6981 some do get it.
turning off your grill causes the "blockage" he described
so what said was wrong
