Need to upgrade or refurbish the old Weber? Start here!
I have owned my Weber since 1993. It was from Sears but is basically a Genesis 1000. The only replacement parts that I have purchased since that time is two igniters and the one that fits is the #7509 as found with this link Weber 7509 Igniter Kit. After years of dealing with the quick gas disconnect for the Weber Genesis 1000, it was time to switch to the more traditional propane cylinder. Why? MY OPD valve in my original tank somehow became stuck after a recent fill.
This adapter is nice and is the same length as the original regulator hose. Simple to remove the old hose and install the new one. I used some soft-set, slow drying compound sealant to lubricate and protects threaded piece and not allow any gas leaks. Worked very well and easily found at Lowes or Home Depot.
The easy on/off is great since no wrench is needed and this is as good as the quick release tanks.

Works great - switched from the old quick-release to the new design (which seems to be the only thing they carry nowadays!)
Weber Genesis 1000 Rejuvenation
There are other regulators for sale claiming to be for the Genesis 1000 but they don't have the needed 1/8" NPT male fitting. If you buy price only, the lower priced items have the 21" hose but not the 1/8" NPT you need to connect to the female fitting on the burner manifold.
