QD question re BBQ
Hi Bob,
A question about the QD on the Weber side of the hose. Did the nipble have a check ball inside and did the quick disconnect have a check valve inside it?
Thx, Brad

There are no check valves. The nipple is a straight through and does nothing but actuate a plunger in the QC connector. When it's unplugged, it shuts off. Even then, the connector can possibly leak when the nipple is unplugged, so I shut it off at the trailers QC fitting.

The nipple I just purchased has a small ball inside, I believe to make sure the direction of flow cannot be reversed. My QC has a plunger inside as yours does, I thought the plunger acted as a check valve, but as you said the plunger just opens the QC for flow.
With the setup noted above and the 5th wheel having 11WC pressure, is there enough pressure to provide amble propane to fire up the Weber to its max BTU of 8,500.
Thanks for the great job on this thread.......

11"WC is standard regulated pressure and plenty to run the Weber. I run a CampChef with 30K BTU burners off my trailer connection and it makes short work of a pan of fish.

From a propane dealer in Austin, but you can buy them anywhere. Just ask for a Low Pressure propane hose. 1t will come with connectors and you'll have to buy the appropriate adapters.

I've made all sorts of mods to my LP appliances; Weber 120 and Campfire-in-a-Can for myself and many Weber grills for friends. I get all of my parts from these folks:

They sell all the hoses and connectors you could ever possibly want. Just make sure that for the low pressure systems that you use the "250" series of connectors; they are the proper connectors for our RV systems.
