Apex Nano 193bhs external LP connection installed

[Twisterbret]

I installed my external LP port for the Apex Nano 193bhs
The aluminum plate was cut from angle stock. Everything else was bought from Amazon. The key part was the bulkhead. If you don't know that name you will never find the part. The bulkhead allowed the gas line to pass
through the bracket and also has a nut to fasten it to the bracket.

Great mod! I have a question. Was there a plug in the manifold where u attached the stainless hose or did u get a new manifold?

[Twisterbret]

There was a cap that I removed. Here is a photo with the cap on it.

Thanks. It never dawned on me it could be s male thread. I must not have looked close enough. No wonder I couldn’t find a plug.

Reason I ask is I want to remove the existing quick connect hose.

I hard piped mine with black pipe and secured it to the frame with a pipe strap.
You did a nice job on yours.
