why do you have to install it outside? Will it work with a gravity fed system.Can it be converted to natural gas.Lots of questions.

The flame is open to the atmosphere even though it is inside the metal housing and it could build up carbon monoxide. If installed where the previously existing gas water heater was, and the exhaust pipe is vented to the outside, it should be ok ... but check with your local authorities to be sure. I doubt this one will work on a gravity feed system. It takes pressure for the ignitor to light the burner, and even off of the well pump where I live I sometimes have to run the kicker or accessory pump to boost the pressure enough to keep the burners lit. I know that some appliances can be changed from natural gas to propane & vice-versa by changing the delivery ports and the regulators, but I don't think the company makes a crossover kit for this unit. There are On Demand Water Heaters on the market that are already natural gas however. Just my opinion ... I think by the time you buy and install everything you would need to make this unit work for you, it would be easier and probably less costly to buy one that is natural gas, will run on a gravity feed system and can be mounted where you need it to be mounted. PS: They do make the On Demands in electric models as well. Those may be installed indoors since there is no flame.

No, they are set up for propane. You may try asking them if it's possible to order one for natural gas. Kits are sold for conversion to natural gas if you're a handy guy, or a dealer/appliance repair outfit will do it for a charge. In some areas, the local utility will do it also.

The left side is propane only and it could be converted to natural gas; if you can do it yourself. Save your money, the unit is a great idea and the design idea is good but it is made of such cheap materials they should pay you to take it off their hands. A real piece if crap.

You have to change the orifice for natural gas. I have never found where to get one, as I would like to switch mine over.

I'm not sure if you can convert this unit from propane to natural gas. You usually have to change the jets in the burner to do this with other gas burners, so it might be best to talk to a service representative from your gas company. Hope that helps...

I would contact the manufacturer (http://www.championpowerequipment.com/) and ask them if it is financially feasible or doable. You don't want to spend a fortune converting this generator if you can buy a natural gas one for the same price. And if you go down this road, be prepared for lots of government red tape. You will definitely need a building permit and have everything check out by a licensed electrician and a plumber - which means more money. Natural gas would make more sense than gasoline, but it comes with a very high initial price.

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.

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....

Not the way it comes, it's propane. But I do believe they have conversion kits to make it natural gas.

I use it on propane but it should work with natural gas as well.. FYI it works well!

It is not designed to be converted to gas. However, It is heavy duty and if you have the right skills and tools, you may be able to make it work. Even using wood, I like it and recommend it.

This Weber grill is designed for LP. If one is available it would need a natural gas conversion kit. I think it would be better to look for a grill optimized for natural gas. The gasses work at different pressures and flow rates.

There is a plug on the bottom of one end. Whether it can be used to hook up a gravity feed, I don't know, as there isn't much room between thetank and the side of the pick-up. I only used it for a drain plug when I removed the tank(I traded for a gas model truck and the tank cannot be used for gasoline).

I don't see any problems with Government Regulations because it's a portable generator. Now if it's used as a permanate fixture to a dwelling then you would get into Gov Reg & Permits. I agree with B Barber that it's built to run on Gasoline. If it could be converted you would have make too many changes for it to be feasible.

Ours is connecting to a propane tank. It runs great on propane. We wanted it off the natural gas grid because of failures last year. How long it will run depends on the size of the tank and the tank needs to be in gallons.
