Thanks. Ball valve is the same I guess then, so I'll go with 3 holes of 1 inch diameter. Found a local store that specializes in fasteners, so i'll get the nuts, bolts, and washers there. Now to find a cheap weber on CL....
I'm assuming the 3/4 inch pipe and ball valve is the way most of you folks are going..
3/4" is what i used and have had no problems.:thumb:
