We have propane not natural gas. Do you recommend this unit for propane?

Look for a combustible gas alarm instead such as the Kidde KN-COEG-3 or the SafetySiren Family Safety Combustible Gas Alarm.

Kathleen, I have one of those working on natural gas and it works like a charm! You should have or buy the propane version and it will run on any tank, but if you need to run it on full for an extended time, I would recommend getting a larger tank. If it's a small room however, it is probably sufficient to run it on a low setting and then a small propane tank will most likely last quite a while. So, in a nutshell, it depends... Sorry, that's the best answer I can give you. Good luck and hope you're staying warm.

I believe if it can run on propane it can run on natural gas. You'd have to have it hooked up by a license plumber and he would know whether to replace the pressure regulator or not. But if I remember right they both use a low pressure regulator. That's what's on the unit.

Anything that runs on propane can be converted, but the hardware could be quite expensive. Make sure that the cost of the burner plus the cost don't exceed something that Amazon already sells that is natural gas ready. Good luck, and be careful.

I believe this unit only works with natural gas. I'm sure Rinnai makes a unit that uses propane. To get the proper model number go to the Rinnai website.

This kit is used to convert the propane model to a natural gas model. It would be required regardless if the unit was on wheels or built-in.

I use natural gas which connects to our home gas line. A small propane tank would work on a unit made up for propane use.

I have only used propane, natural gas is a mixture of various organic compounds, most of which are volatile and explosive. I would do your research on the composition of your particular natural gas and consult the manufacture if it is safe to use this burner with said natural gas.

I have this hooked to my house natural gas. It produces a great deal of heat with a significant gas flow. Although I haven't tried it with Propane I would guess a 20lb tank would be inadequate for the type of gas flow and heat produced.

This is propane (L.P.) Only. Can not be converted to Natural Gas. Have to get one set for Natural Gas and then convert the orffices for natural gas. Look for a conversion kit get made for your unit. It may not be able to convert it.

Here is the response to your question from the DuroMax Customer Service. "Our propane unit is not capable of running off natural gas. The system would require a different hose, carburetor, and jet set".http://www.duromaxgenerators.org/find_answers.html

We do not recommend that the unit be connected to your propane line on the motor home rather than a standard propane tank. The fittings required to do so are not offered by the manufacturer as well.

If you have natural gas service, perfect. If not, you will need to get propane service.

I don't know if the burner is rated for natural gas. You would need a completely different regulator as well.

No, they are set up for propane. You may try asking them if it's possible to order one for natural gas. Kits are sold for conversion to natural gas if you're a handy guy, or a dealer/appliance repair outfit will do it for a charge. In some areas, the local utility will do it also.
