You change the orifice in the burner. Propane and natural gas require different orifice sizes. You should check with your gas or propane supplier, or contact the manufacturer for more detailed information. If you have good information and are a pretty handy individual, you might be able to do the conversion yourself. But, be warned, if you make a mistake, if could be tragic.


Switch from natural gas to propane side burner on grill Can i switch a natural gas burner over to use propane?

this can be done but its not as simply as just hooking it up. you will need to change the manifold which is not always readily available. depending upon the manufacturer of the grill, you will likely need to order an L.P. (Propane) manifold directly from the manufacturer. Most propane distributors will convert natural gas appliances to LP for a modest fee. It is a matter of changing orifice sizes to let less gas into the appliance. Since propane burns about 4 times hotter than gas, an orifice which is about half the diameter is used. We had all of our gas appliances, dryer, stove, BBQ, converted when we moved from a location with natural gas to propane.

Can you convert a propane clothes dryer to natural gas if so how?

Conversion of Natural to PropaneYes you can. I purchased a new dryer and needed it to be propane ready...you need to get the proper oriface (which lets the gas in to the burners) changed out. Natural gas oriface has a larger hole than a propane orifice. Check with your local H. V. A. C. companies or with your gas company.AnswerYes you can, but whether you should is another matter. I purchased a new dryer and needed it to be propane ready...you need to get the proper orifice (which lets the gas in to the burners) changed out. Natural gas orifice has a larger hole than a propane orifice. In addition, the regulator must be modified. It may involve flipping an insert under the cap (typical of stoves) or it may require conversion parts packed in the conversion kit (order one specific to your drier). This regulator is part of the piping within the back of the drier. Incidentally, conversion orifice(s) should be included with the drier and screwed to the body in a clip. When you change it over and label the equipment as converted to propane, put the old natural gas orifice in the clip and screw it back onto the body. Put the instructions in a paper envelope and tape to the outside of the body of the drier.Your local gas plumber knows the routine.Check with your local H. V. A. C. companies or with your gas company.
