I have a Vermont Casting VM450SSP Grill that needs a new Hose Regulator-S/B Valve Assembly. I have ordered two separate times what "Appliance Factory Parts" thinks is the part I need and both times the regulator hose assembly comes as a low pressure regulator. The old regulator assembly has a much larger inlet for the LP gas and doesn't say low pressure. It is a dual hose assembly that feeds 4 burners and a side burner. The part # is 50002900.

This ma=y be a case of changes in parts for your VC Grill. The ownership of Vermont Castings changed 6 years ago, when Majestic Fireplace, who was then the owner went bankrupt and Monesson Hearth products bought VC in the bankruptcy. Shortly there after, Monesson made some sweeping changes to the grill line (your model was discontinued) and really up graded what Majestic Fireplace had done with that line of grills. Overall, they started building a better quality grill.

Unless you have a piped in high pressure propane gas system, the one that Appliance Factory Parts furnished you should work fine (based on what I saw on their website). In addition, if you purchased your grill, prior to the change in 20lb LP Gas Grill Tanks Valves, 6 years ago. Some manufacturers changed their grill hoses to conform with the new OPD Valve grill tanks. It wasn't required, they just did it, to avoid regulators locking up, when the tank valve is opened to fast.

Hope this helped answer and solve the problem for you. Happy Grilling!!

I have ordered all the Grill replacement parts for gas grill Model VM450SSP but I can't find any hardware for the grill. I need to replace all the screws on this grill they have rusted.

Your best bet, is to take out one of each crew that you need and head over to your local hardware store and purchase as many as you need for each one. Some will be sheet metal screws and others will be nuts & bolts. I would recommend that use stainless steel screws, whenever possible. While you're there, you may also want to consider buying a new cover for your grill. So that it won't rust out again.

Since your Model Vermont Castings Grill has been discontinued, screws and nuts and bolts are not considered a standard replacement item.

Hope this helps you and Happy Grilling.

Need a parts list and diagram for vm450ssp

As is typical with Vermont Castings, when they discontinue a model (as is the case with yours), they discontinue any reference to it (Owners Manuals, Parts Manuals, Replacement Parts, etc.) and refrer the customer back to the VC Dealer. However, there are a few parts available through online grill parts stores. But they are pretty limited.

At one time, NEX Grill was manufacturing the VC Grills for Vermont Castings. You may want to check their website for availability of parts.

Hope this helps you find what you need.

Good morning My gas grill will light,but there is

If by lighting, you mean just very low flames on each burner, that get no higher when you adjust the blame height ... the problem can be solved rather easily.

Turn OFF the propane tank, disconnect the hose/regulator from the tank and wait 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, reconnect the hose/regulator to the tank and turn the tank valve on VERY, VERY SLOWLY, until the valve is fully open. Light the burner furthest away from the tank first and turn the flame to high. Do the burner flames appear to be normal now, for the highest setting? If so, continue down the line, lighting each burner separately and turning it to high. Do all the burner flames appear to be normal, now? If so, you've solved the problem! If not, repeat the sequence above and be sure you're turning the tank valve on in slow motion.

If repeating the sequence didn't solve the problem. the burners and the venturi tubes need to be removed and cleaned.

However, if you had just installed a new tank with fresh gas or turned the tank on after it had been off for a while, I believe the first solution will solve your problem. In the future, always remember to turn the tank valve on Very, Very Slowly.

Hope this helped solve your problem. Happy Grilling!

Second and third burner burns with a low flame. Burner closest to gas supply works as usual.

This problem can be caused by a number of things. Is this a new grill? If not, is this a new problem?

First -Check to see if the fuel hose is bent or kinked.
• Make sure the grill area is clear of dust.
• Make sure the burner and orifice are clean.
• Check for spiders and insects.
• The regulator has a safety device that restricts the flow of gas in the event of a leak. This safety device can be triggered without a gas leak. To reset the safety device, turn all burners "OFF" and close the Liquid Propane cylinder valve. Disconnect the regulator from the Liquid Propane cylinder and wait 1 minute. Reconnect the regulator to the Liquid Propane cylinder and slowly open the valve until the valve is fully open. Light all burners and observe the temperature.

Is there a conversion kit from lp to natural gas for this model VM450SSP

Hi,

Usually there are no conversions for LPG - NG on BBQ units. You need to contact the manufacturer about this and then get a 'Gas Safe' engineer to carry out the conversion.

The reason for this is that LPG is a higher pressure (37mb) than NG (20mb), and stringent testing must be carried out for leaks etc.

I hope this helps
