I have a Sunbeam outdoor propane grill that I need to replace the hose on,
because it got cut and leaks.
The problem is that the valves and regulator both have the hose clamped onto
them with a brass clamp, not a screw on connection that is widely available.
I am having a very hard time finding someone who even carries LPG hose by
the foot let alone the capability to clamp it onto the valves and regulator.
Any ideas on where I could go to have a new hose put on? I live in San
Marcos, CA near San Diego. I've been to Barbeques Galore, a hydraulics
shop, a propane company, all with no luck.
Or ideas on where I can buy a crimper, clamps, fittings and hose to do it my
self?
Thanks,

Your cheapest solution is probably to just replace
the hose/regulator as a unit. Usually a $15-22 item.
People on this ng will scream but if all you have
is a cut, then cut all the way through the hose,
look for brass fittings to attach to hoses
together (essentially a tube with ridges that is
slightly larger than the inside diameter of the
hose) at Lowes or a hardware store, and secure
with small screw clamps.
Realize that the pressure within the hose will be
less that what you produce by blowing in a tube.
