Here's how I did the conversion on my Weber Q:
Weber Conversion
BTW, like Jim posted above, some members have left the regulator on and are satisfied with the performance. Some members have reported lower flame and BTU outlet with the regulator on and claim the bbq does not get as hot. The fitting to replace the regulator was so cheap I went that route.
Thanks for the additional information. Maybe it's hard to tell from the picture but the Calore part 401153 looks like something screws into it. If I remove the regulator from the Weber I will need a fitting that screws onto the threaded metal pipe. tks
You're correct, and that's why you need that little 1/8" pipe to 1/8" pipe coupler (NPT) I referred to at the end of my post. Got mine at Lowes as indicated. You don't need this fitting if you go with jr's post I also added as he put a ball valve where the regulator goes. I didn't add the ball valve on the Weber as my trailer has one.
The coupler I got is from Lowes under Watts part number LFA-706 for about 3 bucks.
