Can you drill the orifice larger in a gas range to convert to natural gas from propane?

It is not recommended to drill the orifice larger in a gas range to convert from propane to natural gas. The orifices are designed for a specific gas type and changing them without proper adjustments can lead to safety hazards such as gas leaks or incomplete combustion. It is best to have a professional technician perform the conversion to ensure it is done safely and correctly.


What size is the natural gas orifice in inches?

The size of a natural gas orifice is typically measured in drill bit sizes, with common sizes ranging from around 0.024 to 0.036 inches. The specific size depends on the appliance and the gas pressure being used. It's crucial to consult the appliance manual or a professional to determine the correct size for safety and efficiency.

What is the function of the gas inlet and gas spud in the Bunsen burner?

In the gas industry, the process of beginning to drill a well. Initially a larger drill bit is used to drill a surface hole, which is lined with casing and cement to protect groundwater. After the surface hole is completed, the main drill bit is inserted and the well is drilled to the total depth.


What is the diameter of the burner hole for natural gas I am converting a heater from propane to natural gas and the replacement burner is not available. I think it could be number 54 .055 inch?

Gas jet numbers are often proprietary and specific to each manufacturer. There is an old British Standard BS720 which calibrated jets in terms of cc's of petrol per minute at a head of 20 inches. The Amal Carburettor Company in the UK make these, but the calibration goes up in increments of 5 from 20 up to 100, and in increments of 10 from 100 to 500. With jets to BS720, the flow is directly proportional to jet number, but this may not be the case with other manufacturers jets. It is almost certain that your jet does not conform to BS720, as a BS720 No. 160 jet is about 0.040", and the larger the number, the larger the jet. However, if your original jet is a number 55 Amal jet for propane at 14" water gauge (37 mbar), then a number 120 will be about right for natural gas at 8" water gauge (20 mbar). As an approximation, the orifice area of the jet should be increased to 210 to 220% to go from propane to natural gas. Therefore the approximate jet diameter should be increased by the square root of 2.1 to 2.2, i.e. 1.45 to 1.48 times, so a jet of about 0.080" will probably serve. However, if you go to natural gas, you may have flame stability problems, with the possibility of flame lift-off occurring. You may need to adjust the air control and the burner pressure. If the flame does not have blue cones, then combustion will be incomplete, and you should seek expert advice about the conversion.

What is the drill bit that i need to convert natural gas to propane at 40000 btu's?

you cannot do this because a natural gas orifice is larger than a propane orifice. you can make a propane jet work for a natural gas jet simply by drilling it approx. 210 % you must buy new jets. usually the company that made you appliance will sell the jet kits for you! HOPE THIS HELPS YOU! GOOD LUCK.
