Can this heater be used with 100 pound propane tank

I do not see why not.. I frequesntly change between my 20# and 100# tanks. However the 100 # tanks do not have the same connection as the 20# tanks but most hardware store do have the addapters to handle the job.... I prefer using the 20# and they usually last us a long time with moderate use. They are also easier to exchange as opposed to getting refilled. Good Luck....

Robert, we have two twenties on line with our heater, but I can't think of any reason why you couldn't use a 100# tank

1-866-356-1992 to hear from Eccotemp directly. I received a reply directly from them in regards to your question and the answer is up to 100#'s. It's been over 2 months and I'm still on a 20# tank of propane used for BBQ's that's in the green. As I've stated, my bathroom is basically outdoors but protected from the elements. This is a very useful alternative to keeping down the electric bill!

Yes, the low pressure regulator is what makes it work right. I tried it with another low pressure regulator and it would not light up. Changed to the one that came in the box and lights right up. It works very well for my BBQ trailer.

Yes it can, and I am using it with a tank that is even heavier. The pressure from the tank is the same as small tanks and it is also regulated down to lower pressure with the regulator it comes with.

Absolutely, as long as you have the correct adapter. I got a small aluminum 10 lb cylinder to use with it. Light weight and it runs for a long time. Best heater I ever bought, just sips propane.

Yes, but there is an issue with freezeup after about 45-60 min. I got around it by hooking up 2 (20 lb) tanks up together using an attachment (http://www.propaneproducts.com/catalog/all-mr.-heater-parts-fittings-hoses/mr.-heater-2-tank-hookup-98.html) good luck.

Even the 10,000 btu Unit says it takes a 100 gallon tank. You'll also need a 3/8 male to 1/2 inch adapter to even connect it with a shutoff valve. If you need a small space heater for bbq tanks, buy a top tank unit. They will burn for about 29 hrs on a tank, but they're also dangerous.

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.

The tank shown is just disposable. If you are using the heater to heat a garage I would recommend you purchase the hose and adapter to connect to a 20lb. propane tank. Running the heater on high I have been hard pressed to get more than 4 hours per 1lb tank.

It COULD be used for that, but normally 100 lb cylinders do not have the external acme threads to which this attaches. You would need an adapter sold here on Amazon (search GrillPro 11051).

If the heater ran constantly, it would use 4.2 pounds every 3.5 hours. So if you actually had 100 pounds it would have a total run time of about 83 hours. But most 100 pound tanks are filled to 80% to allow for expansion, so you probably would have closer to 67 to 70 hours depending how full the tank is really filled.

Yes, you should have no problems mechanically - the fill connections are the same. Remember that 80% of total rank capacity = "full", i.e. it will only take 5 lb of propane.% full = 100 x (GW - 11.1)/5[propane is 4.4 lb/gal]

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.

Yes if the valve in back of heater is set to LPG instead of NG(Natural Gas), Propane can be used.

You are not able to do that. You can use 10, 20 or 100 lb tanks only. I wanted to connect it to my 1000 gallon home tank and they (the gas company) said I could not.

It sure does if you are using the grill tank style valve . You will have to get an adaptor if you want to hook it to a 100 pound tank.

Tanks like this are filled by weight, hence the 100 pound rating. A 100 pound tank empty weighs about 70 pounds so when full this will weight about 170 pounds. Tanks are typically filled 80% full to allow for expansion, because at standard temperature and pressure propane is a gas, but it is easily compressible into a liquid. If you calculate the volume of this tank it is roughly 30 gallons but you only get and pay for roughly 24 gallons.

You need a 100 watts for a heater and I don't know never tried it I am sure it don't matter I do know you can have fully under water

Yes. This can be connected to a 20lb propane tank using a kit. Also be on the look out for a stand in the next couple of months

With any propane supply, whether it be a 20lb or a 100lb tank, you need low pressure regulation after it to supply your cooking devices. This fryer in particular has a 3/4" connection which you can connect into your system.
