First time BBQ owner and I am trying to connect to the natural gas hook up at my house. I assembled the BBQ following the instructions but I think there is a piece missing for connecting the BBQ gas hose to the hook up, to save me wandering home hardware for hours, can someone identify what I need to acquire to complete the attachment? THANK YOU!!

An adapter: https://www.lowes.com/pd/EASTMAN-5-8-in-OD-FLARE-X-1-2-in-MIP-GAS-FITTING-ADAPTER/5015591785?user=shopping&feed=yes&srsltid=AfmBOopwJA_qtHjiOdGeHaT4uyTS–HmtmUhznpjOVTD8BmrdiuW_eUak9o
It looks like the female adapter is attached to the male adapter that’s coming from your grill, just take it off and store it for now. You can put the new one onto the pipe that’s coming from the floor if you’d like. Check inside the quick connect to see if the o-ring inside is in good shape.
You may also need to convert your grill via a kit to make it work properly with natural gas.
It almost looks like the piece with the blue cover is the same piece that’s on the new fuel line. I think you need to take the older connection off or it looks like you can disconnect the new fuel line from the gold adapter and just hook it up. Sorry don’t know the terminology myself.
Did you buy a natural gas grill?
I could be wrong but it looks like the hose from your grill already has the female quick-disconnect attached. Pop that off and the remaining male end should attach to the female side attached to your 1/4 turn valve.
That’s a quick connect. Take off the female end from your hose.
Looks like the new hose has both parts/sides of the quick disconnect in place. you need to remove the new male part of the quick disconnect and you are good to go. You can replace what’s on you old house line with the new parts or just leave it be and save the new parts for future use.
More adapters!
Once you figure it out, make sure you put some dish soap around the connection, then turn it on. If you smell gas or see bubbles, the connection is leaking.
plumber here, unthread the guy with the blue on it. its an old one of what you have, use the new one so you know it won’t leak. get some pipe dope and put it on the threads and screw together. 2 pair of channel locks should do the trick. don’t go incredible hulk you could crack the brass.
If it’s a propane grill, you will have to drill out the jets for it to work.
You should call a plumber if you can’t figure this out with your eyes.
The Grey flex pipe you have, it has both the male and female ends on it. There is a ring on the female end that you can slide back, which will unlock it so the male end can get pulled out. Then plug that male piece into the gas connection and you should be good to go. Assuming they are the same size at least. Make sure to turn the handle on the valve so it is in line with the pipe. That means it is open and the gas is flowing.

Bbq?!? That’s a grill.
your brass connection has a slip collar that will disengage the part that is the same part with the blue plastic thing. once you pull off the female end from the all brass connection, it should slip into your connection coming from the gas line

I would spend the money to get a licensed plumber to check out your overall installation. Money well spent, in my opinion, plus they should have time to look at at least 1 other issue you have at the house.
Looks like you have the lesbian connection…. female to female. Need a male connector on grill.
Nothing it looks like.
