yes
You have the change the orifice and the regulator (because LP and Natural gas are at a diffrent pressure). I've used adaptors from a camping suppy store. this is not totally true. If you look at the side of the regulator, it might have a marking on it that says LP/NG. This is an auto adjust on the regulator that you can use a screwdriver to change from one to the other. However if you don't have the markings then it will need to be changed.
A Natural Gas Orifice is Larger.
It is best to contact the appliance manufacturer for correct orifice size when converting from one type of gas to another.

Yes, That is a must do.
An orifice is a natural opening.

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.
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.
A supply house such as johnstone. Take all information of the furnace and old orifice with you and show them what you need.
