Propane connection problems

I have a 1999 Weber Spirit 700 with a quick disconnect regulator.  I just went to exchange propane cylenders and after exchanging I discovered teh connector on the new cylinder was different from the quick disconnect on the old weber.  What adpater do I need?  The new connector on the cylinder looks like this



the quick disconnect on teh grill looks like this

Did your old tank have a coupler on it that you didn't take off? You now have a tank that requires a screw on regulator.  Solutions would be to acquire a screw on regulator or a quick connect coupler.  The coupler would most likely be cheaper but needs to be removed every time you exchange tanks.

old tank had a different valve that didnt have any removable connectors.  Would it be easier long term to change regulators to this one?  http://www.grillparts.com/weber/categorylist.asp?src=base&product_id=62565&gclid=CjwKEAjwsvmvBRCT5ozK-dmY7D4SJACyIoJmycasRIyJYP8esp5GgcU-JcmBFX6OSboscUuDOTyjWxoCFnbw_wcB

Whether it is easier is entirely up to you.  In my experience, there is no advantage to using a quick connect over a screw on regulator.  Both will work just fine, including the part you linked.  Pick which ever option is more convenient for you.

I went with the regulator.  Now it works!   Thanks!
