Convert Weber Q hose to quick connect

I am trying to convert the hose kit linked below that I bought for my Weber grill that allows me to connect it to a 20lb bottle:

http://www.amazon.com/Weber-6501-Adapter-Q-Series-Go-Anywhere/dp/B0012XXD4Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407198683&sr=8-1&keywords=weber+conversion+kit

I found the quick connect nipple I need but was wondering if there is an adapter that allows me to screw the big green end of the hose (the end that normally screws onto a 20lb bottle) and then converts that to a 1/4" quick connect nipple.

    That sucks...commits the grill to the camper. Wanted to be able to keep it whole in case I wanted to use it with a 20lb bottle.



    I actually took the Q's regulator and put a female quick connect on it. This way I can still use the sm green bottle or the adapter hose to a 20#er if needed.

    Put the quick disconnect BEFORE the camper regulator, and leave the grills regulator on. That way, it can still be used with a bottle.

    you're prettymuch committed to this hose then unless you buy the QD's and build your own. Personally I don't mess with LP crimps

    No conversion necessary, the green end screws on your 20lb (or 5 or 11) bottle and the other end screws into the un-modified Weber connector where the disposable bottle would normally go.

    I already have that. I want to convert the green end of that into a quick connect.
