Can this heater work on propane as well as natural gas?

I think the P in model # RL94iP stands for Propane, and that is what we use it with (i for indoor. So if it's RL94iN its meant for natural gas.). So yes, it works on Propane

Yes we have propane and addressed that question to the gas and electric companies. Our heater is working fine.

yes ours is on propane - be sure to list that requirement when you purchase

Yes. It can use either propane or natural gas. My unit came ready for propane but changing fuel type was a simple procedure. It works well -- heats both floors of my two story home.

Natural gas is considerably different from the cylinder gas LP or liquid propane. The orifice required for natural gas is much larger as natural gas has a lower BTU rating and requires less oxygen to burn efficiently and cleanly. You can not use propane in an appliance or heater rated for natural gas as the gas oxygen mix will be completely wrong and it will not burn properly and will be dangerous. The poor gas oxygen mix if you were to use propane would cause sooting in your unit and the soot might catch fire and thus could be disastrous! In other words DON"T DO IT! There are units that cost a bit more, in other brands and they are listed as dual-fuel and can be adapted to use either LP (propane) or natural gas and the book tells how to do it precisely.

I think that would be an accident waiting to happen without a proper modification. There is no way to hook a propane regulator to natural gas because the connection if different. My stove can use both fuels but came with special outlets for that purpose to allow the correct amount of gas to flow. Save your house from destruction and contact the manufacturer before the fire and or explosion.

No it cannot. It will only work with propane. I know they make natural gas fire pits but they are way more expensive.

This was bought a gift for my son in Kuwait. I was there to help him to assemble. The unit was setup for propane. If you order this unit, it has to specify natural gas.

My use was for a natural gas wall heater. I have no expirience with propane and how their thermo-couplings work. I do believe they would function in a similar manner.

As long as the propane heater is self ignited you should be fine. I merely turns the power on and off to what ever is plugged into it.

I can only speak about my application. My application is natural gas with a 750 milli-volt pile generator. In this case the thermostat works flawlessly. I don't think it matters whether you're heating with natural gas or propane. Ensure the gas valve is compatible with the thermostat. Thermostats are generally low voltage items and I'm fairly confident your propane control system is compatible with this thermostat. But without reviewing the specifications I CANNOT accurately say yes or no.

The heat here is a central propane furnance, so I can't respond with accuracy. However, I don't see why it wouldn't as it is a digital and provides an on-off based on the surrounding temperature. Sorry that I can't provide more info.

It has standard pipe fittings for natural gas, but you should be able to add the correct fittings to hook up to propane. Try Home depot for fittings.

Does not work with natural gas as is. To use natural gas the burner must be changed out. Natural gas does not burn as hot and requires a greater output.

If you have the same quick connect that Mr. Heater uses on there heaters it will work. Your heater should use the same psi as all propane burners and heaters use. If you do not have the same quick connect there are an abundance of connectors out there. Just make sure you buy a hose that is regulated at the tank.

Anything that runs on propane can be converted, but the hardware could be quite expensive. Make sure that the cost of the burner plus the cost don't exceed something that Amazon already sells that is natural gas ready. Good luck, and be careful.

I am not sure about natural gas......I understand that it can be converted to Propane (Bottled Gas) by installinga "kit" made for that purpose....

No, I haven't done that. The tank works great for camping as a stove and light propane source, with the relevant equipment. If the heater you mention is supposed to work with standard propane tanks, then sure, it should work on this one.

it can be used for propane or natural gas it has the hook up line for both. the electronic ignitor is battery operated. and yes i have used mine when the power is out
