Does this product work with an LP tank or does it require a gas line?

You are looking at the LP version so it will work with a propane tank and a regulator.

Not directly. This unit makes it easy to connect an external propane tank to the RV. This pigtail looks just like the one on the firepit (it connects to a tank). The other hose goes from the RV tank to a threaded end that is the same as a 1 lb (disposable) propane tank. You could make it work if you purchased an adapter that adapts a 1lb tank to a refillable tank fitting ( Camco 59213 Female POL/ Male ACME X 1"-20 Male Propane Adapter).

Only if you get the propane model (LP) If you hook propane to a gas model you will burn your houes down!!A small tank wont last to long I dont know how long.

We use a tank. I don't see why it wouldn't work with a gas line. However, the little concealment door would need some jimmy-rigging.

My husband is in the process of getting this hooked up. We purchased the transfer switch so it is a little more involved. Our hope was to run a hook up from our 500 gal tank but some of his coworkers (hospital maintenance workers) said there could be an issue with pressure from our large home propane tank so they referred him to our propane supplier. You might want to call your company and speak with an expert. We haven't made the call yet.

This particular model can be used with Liquid Propane tanks only thus LP on the end of model name. Natural gas models are marked with NG and are usually shown with the hose hookup on the picture.

The LP5500 unit is designed for use with a 20 lb. or 30 lb. tank, but can be utilized with a larger tank. To ensure the unit will properly attach to your larger LP tank, we recommend contacting a local plumber, or the propane company that supplied the tank. Generac does not offer a kit or parts to attach to any other tank, but your local plumber should be able to ensure your connections are proper and meet your local code. The regulator inlet pressure from an LP tank should be between 30 and 100 psi. Please note that any damage to the unit due to utilizing a larger tank will not be covered under warranty.

It is not recommended to connect to natural gas line. You can purchase a conversion hose and hook it up to a 20lb. tank though. It has one burner, but it is a loop burner, so it covers the surface of the grill very well.

I use natural gas which connects to our home gas line. A small propane tank would work on a unit made up for propane use.

If you are asking about LP tank, DO NOT USE. This regulator is for a maximum of 5psi, LP will get to 200 psi plus on a warm day. This regulator is for stepping down the pressure on an internal line of less than than 5psi and reducing it to 5 to 10 inches water column for an appliance. Be very careful if you don't understand what and why when working with combustible gases.

According to the instructions that came with it you should be able to siphon gas from the tank. However, as of now I have only used the sump for removing oil from the Engine and it works well for this job. I have not as yet tried to siphon gas with it so I can't answer how efficient it is for that purpose.

Yes it will work just fine. Be sure to turn down the regulator so you aren't using 150 psi. We use about 30 psi to blow our lines. It has a small 1.5 gallon tank so it will work fine.

Yes, but you need either a newer type Mr. Heater hose and/or a Mr. Heater LPG filter. Under high pressure (un-regulated) LPG hoses leach oils and contaminants into the gas which over time eventually cause clogging inside the heater. Their new hose is designed for un-regulated LPG.

Your building code will let you know if it's okay. Some states let you have a propane ventless but not natural gas and there's restrictions as to what room you may install the unit, as in not a bedroom. And yes a gas line is needed for the gas unit. I put in my line but I'm a building contractor, so unless you are handy you will need a plumber to install the line.

It works for both but with LP you have to add an air mixing Valve in front of the connection to the burner to avoid soot and smoke.

As the other person stated, you cannot just connect a gas line to a device that is designed to burn propane. Appropriate chages would need to be made. You can contract the manufacturer to see if they have a kit to allow the change. Insofar as the actual piping work to make the connection, you can do this yourself if you are familiar with working with pipe fittings, copper tubing, flaring tools, etc. Just be careful and soap bubble test all of your connections.
