There is a bit more to it than described above but this should not affect the O/P
The curved tube from the regulator that connects to the grill has a valve, like a tire valve stem type valve in it. There is a probe in the grill's half that depresses the valve so propane can flow, if the regulator is not connected to the grill no flow. (Safety feature) this is not true of many other grills by the way Just so you know.
However since the valve is in the regulator portion.. It does not affect the O/P
What you'd need is to have a Propane store find a fitting that matches the fitting on the grill (either that or wack the regulator off the curved pipe, which I do not suggest, Unless the regulator has failed for other reasons) and attach a hose to it.. That way you could simply connect at the low pressure point.
I'm not comfortable doing that kind of work myself.. though I do have the skills, But though I am comfortable working with propane.. NOT THAT comfortable. After all as I answered for the class during test review:
What happens if you mix Air and propane in the proper ratio and there is a spark?
You land 2 counties over... (When the laughter died the instructor said "Exactly")
