Weber 7501 Hose and Regulator Kit (14-1/2-Inch) Review

Weber 7501 Hose and Regulator KitI recently picked up this same Weber regulator.Believe it or not, I had a squirrel eat through my supply hose.It was old and covered with a "garnish" of drippings from meals gone by, and in his earnest he chomped all the way through the hose and drained the tank.I will admit that at first I thought I could seal the hole with the great fixer upper, duct tape.But it was a no go.After refilling the tank, the instant smell of gas permeated the air.(If this happens to you, or you get a hole in yours for any reason, forget the duct tape.It will leak anyway and be dangerous).This Weber assembly is pretty much the one that is found around here no matter where you go, so I picked it up.My grill is a Charbroil, but I feel that this hose can be made to fit any grill.The tank connector is a universal fit and will screw easily onto any tank.Its the other end that where you may have to improvise.Apparently the fitting at the end of the regulator on newer grills has been simplified to a screw on like the tank side, (took them long enough).My old time dependable grill had a regulator that was not so accommodating.I solved the problem by completely cutting the fittings off and twisting the end over the regulator valve.Although its relatively easy to slip on, the regulator valve is thickly threaded and the hose stays tight and secure. Even so, when dealing with gas its best to make sure, so I installed a small worm clamp around the end and the job was done.Safe and completely without leaks.

Its my opinion that if you are in the need for a new supply line on your gas grill, no matter what brand it is, this universal kit should fit it nicely.If its a newer one the job becomes a simple matter of screwing to ends on.If you have an older one, you can improvise as I did and be grilling before you know it.Its an easy job.And if you are an online shopper, I feel that ordering this kit here on Amazon will save you a lot of time running around wondering which one to get.Recommended should you ever have an aggressive squirrel in your future...
