propane BBQ hose

[Tractorat]

I just replaced the hose on my old webber propane bbq that goes from the frame to the propane bottle. Everything works fine.



Here is a question I have. In the store, the replacement hose was right in with the other propane BBQ parts. As I was getting ready to throw away the packaging, I noticed an instruction sheet. It says that this hose is for a propane cooker as opposed to a propane BBQ. As I said, everything fits right up. The hose is even armored ( the original was rubber). Can anyone think of a reason that there could be a problem with this new hose ? Any propane experts out there ?



One thing that is different in this new hose is that the regulator is easily adjustable. The old one is fixed. Can that cause a problem ?



Thanks

I don't know, but I wish my grill had an adjustable regulator. I don't think the grill gets as hot as it should and I would definately turn it up a bit. I think I got the one that came from the factory at the low limit.

I have an adjustable regulator on the propane system on my boat for the range/oven. I adjusted it up a bit and it performs a lot better now.

Thanks,

I decided its probably OK. It is for propane. If it burns a little hot, Ill just turn it down a little
