A 4 day weekend, and no torching.
Tell welding guy its the same "connector" ( "b" type) that is on base of propane/acetylene regulator (the output connector from regulator where hose attaches)... That is only "custom" piece you need, all other pieces are "common"..... Used one off old dicarded fuel regulator will do as long as it is not damaged...


"b" fitting...





IF you go with barbed fitting and cut off hose end, it should be a common item at any hardware store....

Barbed connector...





Reducer.... Used to adapt barbed or "b" fitting to incomming NG gas pipe/cutoff valve...





Worm type hose clamp...





"Single" bolt clamp ( Mike's suggetion)





Maybe you need to print out pictures and take them with you.....
