I need to correct my original post.
I still haven't modified my BBQ (I have one small propane bottle left to use), but another member pointed out to me that the WeberQ has a MNPT fitting to which one attaches the quick disconnect.
Part #401153 (1/8" MNPT - 250 Male quick disconnect) is MNPT. Ideally, you want it to be FNPT...I haven't checked with Calore, so I don't know if they make one. The easy workaround for part #401153 1/8" MNPT is to pickup a 1/8"FNPT-1/8"FNPT coupler at Lowes, HD, etc. Sorry about the inaccurate information!
JR, that's what I found out too. The Watts coupler from Lowes is needed if you're not going to put the ball valve on the Weber. The ball valve is female/female and would eliminate the need for the coupler if you went that route. You use the Watts coupler between the Weber's 1/8" male NPT and the Calor fitting you posted originally then just hook up your hose. Easy setup.
I have a ball valve on my trailer's quick connect so did not see the need for 2.
