Charbroil Universal Hose & Regulator 20-inch for Side Burner — Weatherproof Type-1 Low-Pressure

The Charbroil Universal Hose and Regulator is a 20-inch, weatherproof low-pressure hose with a Type-1 regulator designed to replace worn connections and connect side-burner grills to OPD tanks.

If your grill’s original hose or regulator is cracked, leaking, or simply worn from seasons of use, this Charbroil replacement kit gives you a straightforward, durable option. Crafted to match Type-1 fittings commonly found on grills with side burners, the 20" hose and regulator assembly is built for outdoor conditions and engineered to fit a wide range of models. It’s a quick swap for homeowners who want a reliable connection without altering the tank or grill plumbing.

Will this hose fit my grill’s side burner?

The Charbroil Universal Hose and Regulator is made to work with most grills that use Type-1 (OPD) connections and have a dedicated side-burner feed. Because it follows the standard Type-1 fitting, compatibility is high for many major grill brands and models. Still, verify your grill’s existing connection type before purchasing to ensure a direct swap.

• Type-1 fitting aligns with OPD tanks used on many gas grills
• 20-inch hose length suits common side-burner routing and clearance
• Universal design accommodates a variety of grill manifold layouts
• Designed specifically to replace hoses and regulators on grills with side burners

How weatherproof and durable is the hose?

This hose and regulator kit is constructed to resist typical outdoor exposure—sun, rain, and temperature swings—so it won’t degrade quickly from regular backyard use. The hose material and sealed regulator connection reduce moisture intrusion and chafing at common stress points, helping the assembly last through multiple seasons.

• Weatherproof hose material reduces cracking from UV and moisture
• Sealed fittings minimize water entry and corrosion risk
• Low-pressure regulator built for steady, safe flow to side burners

Is installation difficult and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable making basic grill repairs: disconnect the tank, remove the old hose and regulator, then connect the new Type-1 fitting and tighten per manufacturer recommendations. No specialized tools are required—just standard wrenches and a leak-test solution or soapy water to confirm connections are airtight.

• Turn off and disconnect the propane tank before starting
• Use a wrench to secure fittings; tighten to manufacturer's torque guidelines
• Always perform a soap-and-water leak test before first use

What safety and performance points should I know?

This kit replaces the hose and regulator but does not change your grill’s designed gas pressure or burner settings. Use only as a direct replacement for Type-1 connections and follow local codes for gas appliance service. Regularly inspect the hose and fittings for wear, and replace if you find any damage or leaks.

• Compatible with OPD tanks using Type-1 connections only
• Low-pressure regulator preserves intended burner performance
• Inspect annually and after heavy weather events for safety

Who is this for? The Charbroil Universal 20" Hose and Regulator is ideal for grill owners who need a dependable, weather-resistant replacement for a damaged or aging side-burner connection. It suits DIY-minded homeowners, property managers, and anyone maintaining a gas grill that uses a Type-1 (OPD) fitting. If you want a direct-fit replacement that restores safe, low-pressure fuel delivery to your side burner without complicated plumbing changes, this kit is a practical choice.
