Weber 7502 Hose and Regulator Kit (21-Inch)


Does not fit E-310
Despite what others have posted and the fact that this item appears during a search for Weber Genesis E-310, this regulator will not work properly. It is too short (by a lot - the original hose is twice as long) to route the hose without stretching and also going in through the wrong way (directly under the grill box) which will result in melting over time and is not the way to route the hose according to the manufacturer instructions. The part that is needed is a 42" regulator #81603, which is very difficult to find online for some reason. I had to return this part to Amazon and reorder somewhere else. If you have the Weber Genesis model with the tank inside the cart/cabinet do not order this one!
Not as advertised
This is the first thing I've purchased from Amazon that I felt compelled to review, simply because I don't think its actually the product that it is being claimed to be. After opening the shipped package from Amazon I found that the Weber package inside of that had already been opened and that the tamper seal had been cut. Then I opened that up to find that the regulator and hose were not at all like the one pictured both on the Weber packaging or the website, in fact on the packaging you can clearly see on the hose that it states it is Made in Canada, whereas on the one in the box it had Made in China. The regulator and hose I was replacing came with my weber grill and were substantially different from this one, which had very poor build quality and didn't feel substantial at all. Ultimately I think this seller is using the Weber packaging but selling off brand stuff. If I had wanted that I would have gone to Ace Hardware. Buyer beware.
too short
It said this hose was for the model that I owned, but it definitely was not. IT was too short. I was able to finagle everything to make it work, but everything is stretched out and the nozzle is now pointing in the back of the grill.
