Assuming the following typical conditions:

  • natural gas manifold pressure is 3.5" w.c.
  • propane manifold pressure is 10" w.c.
  • natural gas and propane specific gravities are 0.6 and 1.52 relative to air
  • natural gas and propane energies per cubic foot are 1038 and 2516 BTU
  • your orifice coefficients are the same

then the propane orifice diameter should be 0.623 times the natural gas orifice diameter.

Can you use natural gas in a propane orifice?

No, the orifices are sized different between Natural Gas and Propane as their properties are different. Gas Code book has the proper orifice sizes required for each appliance and their BTU's.


How do you convert a propane clothes dryer to natural gas?

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.

Liquid Propane instead of Natural Gas. The orifice in the burner and pilot light are different sizes. The propane ones are bigger and let too much gas through and the flame will be too big.

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.
