When we renovated our house, we had our builder put in a propane
fitting on our deck to hook a gas grill to. We recently purchased and
put together a Charbroil grill and are having problems trying to figure
out how to connect it to our deck fitting. I've been told that we
should remove the regulator (grill has side burner and the grill &
burner lines come to a "T" and then into the regulator). Hubby is
disabled so this project is up to me. I've found a pipe that fits over
the regulator end to give me mechanical advantage but haven't been able
to figure out how to hold the "T" firmly and am not sure whether it
turns clockwise or counterclockwise. Any suggestions? Or should I
haul the grill to a gas place and have them do it? (nearest gas co. is
over 50 miles away).

Appreciate some suggestions. This "simple" project is driving me
nutty!

Hi Sandy,

Doing gas modifications such as you suggest needs to be done by
a lisensed gas fitter. If you do this by yourself and end up with a
fire, say goodby to household insurance.



There is no exclusion for stupidity in any homeowner's policy.

So Yes, Take it to a gas company and they'll steer you in the right
place... Hope that helps...Jimi


The exclusion that does not have to be written into the policy is that
it is a legal absurdity to attempt to insure against the consequences of
the insureds unlawful act. If the fire code in your state forbids the
modification of a listed gas appliance; most do; then any consequences
of modifying such an appliance are inherently uninsured.
