What is the Flame King Hose and Regulator for Grills with Side Burner?
This is a low-pressure hose + regulator assembly designed for grills that include a side burner. It features a Y-splitter connection so you can feed two appliances from a single tank (e.g. main grill + side burner).
What are its specifications and features?
• **Length & Dimensions**: 27 × 3 × 2 inches.
• **Weight**: Approx. 1.17 lb.
• **Hose**: 24-inch weatherproof high-pressure rubber hose, rated for outdoor use and temperature fluctuations.
• **Connectors**: Brass QCC1 (Type-1) on tank side and 3/8" female NPT connectors for appliance/regulator side.
• **Certifications**: CSA-approved, durable connectors and leak-resistant design.
• **Compatibility**: Suitable for BBQs, smokers, cookers, torches, and hybrid setups that use a side burner.
How do I install and use this hose/regulator?
1. Shut off the propane tank and all connected appliances.
2. Disconnect existing regulator or hose from the tank.
3. Attach the Flame King hose/regulator assembly to the QCC1 port of the tank.
4. Connect the two 3/8" outputs to your grill’s main regulator and the side burner.
5. Gradually open the tank valve, then test for leaks (soapy water method) before full use.
6. Adjust the regulator pressure or flow as needed per your grill’s instructions.
How should I maintain it?
• Periodically check all hose and connector joints for wear, cracking, or leaks.
• Use soapy water to test for leaks after installation or if you suspect gas loss.
• Avoid kinks or sharp bends in the hose that might restrict flow.
• Protect the brass connectors from corrosion (wipe clean, cover if stored outdoors).
• Replace the hose/regulator if you notice persistent pressure problems or degradation.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Allows running your main grill and side burner from a single tank.
• Comes with durable brass connectors and high-quality hose for outdoor use.
• Certified for safety and leak resistance.
Limitations / cautions:
• The regulator is low-pressure, so total draw from both appliances must stay within the system’s capacity.
• Hose length and pressure drop may limit performance if appliances are far from the tank.
• Must be installed correctly and inspected regularly to avoid gas leaks or safety hazards.
