Weber 41455 20 Pound Tank Adapter Hose for Use with Weber Q and Go-Anywhere Gas Grill

Buy this hose only if you have no squirrels or other rodents where you live. They bite right through this Weber hose, they ruined mine after just 1 month of use. A far better product that does the same thing is the Freedom Grill FG-50HA hose. It is stainless steel braid hose, and animal proof. It is slightly shorter, but still plenty long enough to reach from the Q grill at table height to a 20 lb cylinder on the ground. Thanks for earlier reviews that point to the FG-50HA. I bought it and it works great with my Q.

There's no mention of this in the product description. This product won't work with the Weber Q 300 Grill.

This is a must have if you want to hook up a standard 20 pound propane tank to your Q grill. Buy it - it's a must.

I had the same problems as many others with low flow, but after a call to Weber (very friendly, helpful, and NOT in India) I was good to go. I have found that when turning on the tank you need to simply turn it extremely slow until you hear the gas just starting to flow. Once it has done that for a couple seconds you can turn the valve on at a normal rate. I couldn't imagine doing it a 1/4 turn at a time every time. As long as I am careful to do the slow valve turning, the hose work perfectly. I have been very happy with it and my Q220 grill. It's too bad they can't make the saftety valve a little less finicky. I've noticed in stores that this hose now has a green plastic nut. I wonder if it is an improved version???

I used it 4 times and it was fine, then it stopped working.Good luck trying to get Weber to give you a new one.They insist the customer is to stupid to grasp the concept of "open slowly" and is unable to tell time.
It's not like I forget how to use it after 4 times,it is just a piece of cheap junk.I spent 6 years working on aircraft.If I didn't know when a valve was sticking there would be a lot of dead people on my record.

The worst thing is Webers sickeningly sweet attitudes while they tell you how stupid you are.They are quite aware of this issue and are selling these cheap hoses because they get a higher markup than they would on a quality, stainless steel protected(for squirrel proofing) hose.
