Locate the orifice that connects the base of the grill and the hose to one another.
An orifice is a valve commonly found on gas powered home products. This allows the gas to pass through from the source (i.e the propane tank) and burn properly.
Conncected to the orifice should be a nut. Use the crescent wrench to turn the nut counter clockwise and remove the hose from the base.

Step 4

Begin hand tightening the new hose to the nut that is connected to the orifice.
If you over tighten the bolt or do not hand tighten it first, you could cross thread the orifice and create more problems for the grill.
Once it has been adequately hand tightened use the crescent wrench to finish securing it to the orifice.
