A Natural Gas Orifice is Larger.
No, natural gas and propane orifices are not interchangeable. Natural gas orifices are larger than propane orifices due to the different properties of the gases. Using a propane orifice with natural gas can lead to incomplete combustion and potential safety hazards.
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.
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.
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. you have to change the nozzles for the burners and for the stove portion. The replacement nozzles generally come on the rear of the stove upper right or left corner on a small 2" strip. the nozzles are small with 6flat sides to allow tightening with a wrench. to gain access to the nozzles for the range top generally you have to lift the top,remove the burner, unscrew the propane nozzle and attach the natural gas nozzle. the natural gas nozzle has a larger orifice to allow the gas to pass through to the actual burner. the stove is a bit more complicated but can be done by anyone who is semi mechanically inclined.

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.

When converting a Dearborn heater from propane to natural gas, the orifice will need to be larger to allow for the different gas flow rates. You may also need to adjust the air mixture to ensure proper combustion. It's always best to consult the manufacturer's instructions or a professional to ensure the conversion is done safely and effectively. Remember, mistakes are just happy accidents waiting to be fixed!

No. Propane is a gas under normal pressure and temperature conditions while gasoline is liquid. Gasoline consists of larger hydrocarbons than propane, chiefly octane and its isomers.
Hi, Good question you have there and I for one am glad you asked it. Your system will burn way way rich air fuel ratio mixture as that LP gas requires much smaller jetting simply because its heat output per given volume is roughly 3 times that of natural gas. Be careful with any kind of fuel in your home, (especially) LP fuel. I have seen houses blown completely off their slabs and foundations because of a fuel leak matched with some form of spark. ( Usually an electronic furnace ignitor ) NOT ALWAYS,,,, but, you get the point. Have your LP supplier to rejet your furnace and set it up for you. Usually if you are changing over to their fuel they do it at nominal prices and sometimes nothing. Hope this helps: Jimiwane
Either through propane tanks that are filled as needed or pumped directly to the home through underground gas lines to a meter on the house. Larger amounts are sent through gas pipelines that run cross country which carries larger volumes.
"Natural gas" is primarily methane but usually contains small amounts (less than 20%) of other flammable gasses such as ethane, and ethylene and contaminants such as carbon dioxide. When first recovered from the ground, it usually contains larger amounts of heavier flammable hydrocarbons such as propane, butane and pentane which are removed for other uses prior to the remainder being sold as natural gas.
I expect the energy difference between staggered and eclipsed conformations in propane to be smaller than the energy difference in ethane. This is because ethane has more rotational freedom than propane due to the presence of an additional carbon-carbon bond, resulting in larger steric hindrance and a larger energy difference between the conformations.
