Is it dangerous to attach natural gas to an LP valve on a furnace?

Yes this could possibly become a problem. LP gas and NATURAL gas have different properties, such as but's per cu ft, specific gravity and so on. Appliances are regulated differently for each, such as pressure and orifice sizing. A potential hazard is introduced when these properties are not compensated for. Although it is fairly easy to alter a FUEL GAS appliance from one gas to the other, some appliances may not be able to be altered. It is always a good idea to check the mfgr. listing and have an experienced/qualified person perform any modifications. (remember… gas goes… BOOM) Some mfgr's do not allow modification outside of the factory at all, or at least require a qualified/trained technician to complete the modifications to maintain the listing. SAFETY FIRST and ALWAYS… Hope this helps. Terry

How do you convert a furnace to propane or natural gas?
Change out the gas flow orifice size to propane and adjust the gas valve.
Can you use pipe unions in Natural gas lines?
Yes. But, only if the union is after a main shut off valve and is before and appliance connection. ex. A ball valve then pipe and a union before an furnace connection. Unions used as couplings to lengthen pipe are not code approved.

Can you buy and repace the diaphragm in your furnace gas valve?
No, you should replace the valve.
What is furnace draft control?
A valve that brings atmospheric air into the furnace exhaust to help expel the exhaust gases.
How do you identify an electric furnace from a gas furnace?
an electric furnace runs off of 208/230 Volts while a typical gas furnace runs off of 120 also a gas furnace will have a valve for the gas relay where the gas enters the furnace.
What is the typical gas manifold pressure for a natural gas furnace?
3.5 inches WC for a single stage furnace. 2 stage would be 1.75`` low fire and 3.5`` hi fire. For a modulating gas valve, follow the mfr`s set up instructions.
Is natural gas more efficent for heating homes then electricity?
Yes. Specially if you have a 90%plus condensing furnace. This furnace has two heat exchangers, which means that it uses the combustion chambers radiant heat as comfort heat, if the furnace is matched with a 2 stage or modulating gas valve, the savings can be between 40 to 60 percent savings on utility cost.
Can you use pipe unions in Natural gas lines?
Yes. But, only if the union is after a main shut off valve and is before and appliance connection. ex. A ball valve then pipe and a union before an furnace connection. Unions used as couplings to lengthen pipe are not code approved.
Can you use a gas valve from a 64000 btuh lp furnace into a 124000 btuh ng furnace?
That's less than half the btu's required what do you think!
What to do if your furnace keeps blowing water out of the relief valve?
Nothing as a furnace is scorhed air a BOILER is either water or steam and "Relief Valves" are for liquid thus either you have a boiler or your furnace is being flooded from an outside source
How does a thermostat extinguish or light a furnace?
It sends an electric signal to the valve to tell it to turn on or off.
