What is the btu rating? Will a 1/2 " natural gas line be sufficient. What are the supply and delivery pipe sizes, 3/4"? I assume a 120 volt supply is necessary, if so 15 or 20 amp? What accessories e.g. pressure relief, back flow, etc do you recommend?...

19K BTU in natural gas. 120 Volt. 20 amp would be preferred. 3/4" supply both in and out. Gas supply is 1/2". No backflow or pressure release needed. Any plumber can service the unit. Replacement parts would come directly from Noritz.

Hello, I would like to have a few more specific details in order to answer this 100% such as, are you going to be using all 3 at once,pipe size both coming & going, also how far are you ejecting the waste, etc etc. But, hey, my friend, if you are going by Flotec's recommendations & specifications then based on my track record on my unit you will EASILY handle all three. Don't worry about it EASILY handle it!!!! Good luck Sir & I am sure you will experience a great deal of satisfaction with this product ... Trademasters No Problems, Just Solutions

When I was putting the grill together, I saw that the owners manual gave instructions on how to attach a natural gas line, as well as propane, to the unit. I was not not planning on installing the natural gas option so I did not pay too much attention to that process. I am not sure if one needs to buy any additional parts to get the natural gas option working. Good Luck

110V, but not sure of BTU. I will say, this product underperformed for my needs. The deminsions given are the complete size of the unit, I guess I was a little disappointed in the actual heating element size. We bought two units & tried to use them in an enclosed, covered patio at a restaurant about 20x40, and it wasn't near enough. Additionally, they pull a lot of wattage. We couldn't plug anything else into to the circuit without popping the breaker, so one unit per breaker for us, and nothing else, and we are talking about a commercial building.

I am not sure. I'm sorry I cannot be much help but I would suggest starting with your propane provider or local plumbing store. you are fortunate to have the big tank to draw on. the little 20 pounders don't last too long and very expensive. good luck in your search!

what kind of range do you have? If you take a close look at your range, may need a flashlight, you should have brass "nut" / adaptor. Should have a "hex" type head, that can be easily unscrewed (7mm nut driver). Each adapter "nut" has a whole (orifice) through the middle. Natural gas requires, SMALLER wholes in order to regulate the gas flow, while LP gas requires LARGER holes. here's the manual for this kit: http://www.scribd.com/doc/126214047/GRLP3-LP-Conversion-Kit-Instructions LOOK at page 4 for BTU ratings.

Where the gas line connects on my pro com 30000 btu heater is for a 3/8 " pipe . I had to get a fitting to go from 3/8" to 1/2" black pipe . Then i could connect my shut off valve using 1 made for 1/2" black pipe. I bought everything i needed at a menards store. Hope this is helpful.

First a question: Are you using residential 4oz Natural Gas to burn in this burner? (This will NOT work with 2lbs natural gas or propane - these are natural gas tips). To prevent blow-back, I always light on a low fuel setting. I have a 12" long 3/4" pipe that I put in the burner, and then I have a ball-valve for gas flow rate control. I normally only run this at 25% open to 50% open - and the flames are already huge enough for my 80qt and 120qt stock pots. If you have plugged nozzels, that could be an issue (I did have one I had to clean-out with a ice-pick). Judging from your question, you may just have too much fuel coming out. Keep the flow lower when lighting, and you might be surprised how little you need to get up to 4" flame tips of major heat. Good luck!

I googled to find the BTU's needed for my size of pool. I also contacted my utility company and they informed me the size of pipe and that I needed a bigger regulator for my house. This was very important to have enough gas for my house and heater to operate properly

I use natural gas, and this model is 24,000 btu.Using the thermostat control helps regulate my usage. I use this as a secondary heating source.

Yes, but....there is always a 'but.' If this is residential, most gas meters will flow 250k btu. Add up everything on the metered line and if it is more, ask the gas company for a 500k btu meter. If commercial, do the same. I would run a 3/4" black iron line to the heater and reduce it to 1/2" for the pressure regulator. This regulator is meant for line pressure up to 2#.... No higher. Make sure you know what the supply side pressure is.

Are you telling me to do something?? I believe you are trying to ask " WILL THIS connect to my large home SUPPLY?" Possibly I don't know how your gas lines are configured but, with the proper fittings it could.

Natural gas has less BTU's than Propane, so you would need to change the oriface on the propane burner to larger, usually HomeDepot or Lowes can help with that

I was using a 6500 BTU unit for a meat cooler long before I heard of the CoolBot system. When I bought the CoolBot I figured I had nothing to loose by hooking up the old 6500 AC. They recommended a 12-12,500 BTU unit for my size cooler. The smaller unit froze up. It just wasn't enough to handle the colder temps.Go to their website. They tell you the capacity you need, and also the brand and models to avoid. I was about to order a 12,200 BTU unit when I read their data again and they said never to buy that model. It was not sufficient and would not work. I followed their brand rec. and my unit works like a charm. There is about 4-5 years of customer info on the website.

My recommendation is to call a local supplier of gas. They should be able to explain how or suggest a technician you could call.

Works great. Let me know which engine your running and I will tell you which pressure regulator to install ahead of it. You need a large micron pre filter ( 30 micron is great) and a 10 to 20 micron between pump and rail. Keep the inlet side 3/8 to keep from restricting pump. That's the mistake people make and burn the pump up from starvation. Good luck with your project .

Strictly speaking as an amateur: 3/4" pipe is fine for an average household fun. Be sure to use the gas-type pipe thread tape or liquid sealer, and check for leaks. Believe the unit comes with a standard 110VAC plug, and that is low amperage. Unit works like a champ and the Takagi folks I communicated with were very helpful. Be sure the exhaust vents properly so that you have no (odorless) CO accumulation!
