Hello All. On to the next issue...
I'm having function problems hooking up my gas grill to my accessory LP port on the my RV.
My grill uses 1lb gas containers so I purchased a 1/4 in dia, 12 ft hose, with a female quick disconnect and a 1"-20 male thread. Hooked everything up and very low flame at max settings. Saw that the grille controller had a regulator built in and combined with low pressure line from RV was not allowing enough gas flow. I purchased a controller that fit the grill without a regulator, fittings that would go from the male 1"20 to a quick disconnect to mate with the new controller. and put that together. The flame was better but still poor. Also checked with Winnebago to determine the output LP flow at the port. They said 11 inches of water which should be enough for the grill.
The only other item I have found while working this out was input from a website that said one should use a 3/8 inch line minimum to ensure flow is not restricted.
Before I replace my 1/4 hose with a 3/8 in dia hose, I was wondering if anyone had anything to offer in way of advice. Am I on right track? Larger hose makes sense but didn't know if I was missing something else.
Thanks
Dave
