Yes, to convert from natural gas, NG, to LP, you must use vermiculite rather than sand and add an LP safety pilot. If you currently have an NG safety pilot, you need to change the orifice in the thermocouple and exchange the sand for vermiculite. We recommend contacting your local Hearth Technologies dealer to do the conversion for you. To change from LP to NG, you must change the pan orifice.

Some log sets can be converted using a different pilot safety kit. Vent-free logs set come as a specific model for Natural or Propane.

Sunshine Gas Grills are available in two different versions. The "LP" version comes with the required hose and regulator and properly sized orifices (the little gas jets) for LP gas. The "natural gas" version does not include a hose and regulator (they aren't required) and includes orifices sized for natural gas. If you already have a LP version and want to convert it for use with natural gas (or vice-versa), replacement natural gas orifices are available from your dealer at a cost of $19.

A-6: (2003_09_03) YES! While this is not officially "blessed" by Grand Hall and voids your warrenty, many people have done this and it works great. Read all about it in the Converting Member's Mark BBQ Grill from LP to NG section.

Yes! The Rebates are funded by three parties - the Province of Nova Scotia through the Natural Gas Market Development Fund, Natural Resources Canada, and Heritage Gas, the local natural gas distribution company. The Natural Gas Equipment Rebate Program is designed to encourage Nova Scotian residential and small business customers to convert to natural gas using the highest efficiency equipment available.

Liquefied petroleum gas is a petroleum product separated out of natural gas and crude oil in the refining process. It looks and acts just like water, except for its boiling point. The boiling of liquefied petroleum gas produces a "steam" of a colorless, odorless flammable gas. odorant, usually ethyl mercaptan, is added to propane as a warning agent. This sulfur compound gives the gas its rotten egg odor.

They can burn one or the other, but not both. You need to be sure the gas hearth applicance you have is set up for the type of gas fuel you intend to burn. Conversion kits are available which will allow a unit to be changed to match the proper fuel type.

Yes they are, we offer each model both ways and we also keep an ample stock of both natural gas & LP models.

It is not an easy job. It can easily run $100-$300 or more. Legal requirements vary from state to state. Here in Texas, it must be done by someone licensed to do that type of work. This probably holds true in most other states. To find out, check with your local propane dealer. If he can't do the work, he should be able to recommend someone who can.

Yes and No. Only North American made barbecues. The more specific answer is that you can definitely convert almost any barbecue over to another gas, but the cost will be dependent upon the type and brand of barbecue you have. Some manufacturers offer conversion kits that make things relatively simple. The least you will get away with is replacing the gas hose and the valves in addition to any fittings you need to connect everything together. Side-burners can further complicate matters.

NO! Our propane patio heaters are designed, tested and approved for propane use only. Conversion kits are not available. Propane patio heater regulators supply 11" WC and natural gas requires 7" to 10" WC. Also, propane gas line tubing is made of copper and natural gas requires stainless steel.

Hayward heaters can be converted to use NG or LP. The heater may require a new gas valve, burner orifices and/or air restrictor plate upon conversion. Hayward offers conversion kits through your local Hayward dealer. A licensed or certified gas professional will need to perform the conversion.

No, SkeeterVac's are designed and certified for use only with a 20-pound propane gas tanks.  Conversion kits are not available. Any attempt to convert your grill is dangerous and will void your warranty

No, your Minden Master Gas Grill is manufactured to exact specifications and is certified for Liquid Propane (LP gas) use only. For your safety, conversion kits are not available. Any attempt to convert your grill is dangerous and will void your warranty. We will provide a Natural Gas version of the Grill if the market demands. Please let us know if you are interested in an NG version, email grill@mindengrill.com.

OPD stands for Overfill Prevention Device. As of April 1, 2002, no LP gas cylinder can be filled unless it is equipped with an (OPD). You can identify an OPD tank by looking at the valve handles, all the new ones are shaped like a triangle. So, as of April 1, 2002, no new valve, no fill. I still see a lot of these old valves floating around. Don't confuse the threads on the tank (old style vs. new style) valve with OPD. The OPD device is INSIDE the tank.

Under gas transportation, you will have the option of purchasing your supplies from Columbia Gas or from an alternative gas supplier. Columbia will continue to deliver the natural gas to your facility, but the purchase function will be handled by the company of your choice. This method of natural gas purchasing is similar to the telecommunications industry where you choose a long distance provider.

Natural gas may be stored in a number of different ways. It is most commonly stored underground under pressure in three types of facilities. The most commonly used in California are depleted reservoirs in oil and/or gas fields because they are more available. Aquifers and salt cavern formations are also used under certain conditions. The characteristics and economics of each type of storage site will dictate its suitability for use.

There are no transportation natural gas pipelines in the City of Bedford. There are numerous lines in Bedford that distribute gas which is suitable for home use.

No. Natural gas is a commodity and its price is determined by the market, based on several factors. When Nicor Gas buys gas on your behalf and delivers it to your home, we charge you exactly what we paid for it-we are not allowed to mark it up, by regulation of the Illinois Commerce Commission. The cost of natural gas makes up about 75-80 percent of your bill. The delivery charge makes up about 10-15 percent, and taxes make up the remaining 5-10 percent.

There are conversion kits available. Any conversion will be done at the user's own risk and negate the warranty coverage by the original manufacturer.

Only a qualified contractor should be used to remove old oil heating systems and install new natural gas equipment. Elizabethtown Gas provides expert heating installation service, as do other qualified contractors in the area. Check your local Yellow Pages for a listing of these contractors.

Your contractor must make arrangements for the decommissioning of your oil tank in accordance with all local and state code requirements. Just call us at 1-800-611-0480 or email gasadvantage@aglresources.com and one of our account managers will be able to determine if gas is available in your area.

Although one cannot list both unknown and hmm in the same converts clause, one could add another converts clause to the trait ConvertsTrait, stating that unknown is converted, relative to the other operators, which in that case include hmm.

If you have a unit, and it needs to be converted from natural gas to LP gas, or visa versa, call Rinnai technical support at 866-746-6241 ((866) RINNAI1). Go To Top

Since 1995 all regulators (the part that attaches to the gas tank to regulate the flow of gas) have included a safety device that restricts the flow of gas in the event of a gas leak. This safety device can be inadvertently activated in two ways, putting the grill into what is commonly called "bypass". The first way for the device to be activated is to leave one or more burner control knobs in the "ON" position when the LP cylinder valve is opened.

Should I just exchange my empty tank for a full one (WalMart, K-Mart) or would it be better to have my tank filled by a gas company that specializes in gas.

This is a disputed issue. I have seen./heard opinions on both side of the fence. With that said, I don't do it! I feel the three-way (gas/110v electric/12v electric) refrigerators used on most pop-ups aren't designed to be used on propane while towing. Most manufacturers recommend towing these on the 12 volt setting. Two-way (gas/110v electric) refrigerators are a totally different. By design, they are meant to be used on propane while towing.

Most Rv refrigerators have a button you push down when starting the refrigerator (lighting the pilot flame) on LP Gas. After the pilot ignites you need to keep holding the button down. Above the pilot is a device known as a thermocouple. It slowly heats up from the pilot light and once it reaches temperature it gives off a small electric current that allows gas to continue flowing.

In your tank there will be liquid on the bottom and pressurized gas on the top. As you use the gas more liquid turns to gas until the liquid is depleted. When this happens, the tank pressure drops off quickly. For this reason, pressure gauges are usually inaccurate. Other types of LP gas tank "gages" include a long narrow strip that is attached to the side of the tank (magnetic or glue).
