What is recommended gas type? Propane or LP; Is it safe for Propane Cylinder 20psi?

I don't know the psi, but I use a 20 lb propane bottle that a typical propane grill uses.

Propane IS LP. LP = Liquefied Propane. I'm not sure what you are asking about the 20psi cylinder. I would guess that 20psi is way too much. The unit comes with its own regulator, so the pressure is controlled by that, not the cylinder. In any case, a cylinder is a great deal more than 20psi, unless I'm mistaken.

Propane gas expands with a rise in temperature and a 100 Pound cylinder can only be safely filled with 23.6 gallons of liquid propane. This will then enable the gas to expand when the ambient temperature rises. The first time I went to a propane station ( I will not mention the Name) I could not believe when the attendant pumped 35 Gallons in the Tank and then asked me if I wanted more. Beware when you fill the cylinder and play it safe

I have tried operating the Wave-3 on one pound cylinders with a suitable regulator and hose. The heater would quit after a few hours due to the pressure drop in the propane bottle as the liquid boils and cools. A 11 pound cylinder has worked fine. I would expect that a 4.25 pound cylinder would also work fine, but have not tried it. The mercaptan in the propane tends to stay in the bottle as propane boils away and gets very concentrated as the bottle empties. Other than the objectionable smell from the heater when this happens, excessive mercaptan is bad for the life of the catalyst.

Not natural gas (without changing the regulator, anyway), but you can buy an adaptor hose that'll let you connect to a large propane bottle (20# or 30# bottle).

It works fine with extender hoses made for the purpose. They don't have a regulator but rely on the regulator assembly that comes with the stove. The stove end of the hose simulates the top of a 1# propane tank. The tank end screws onto the tank connector. Another variation connects to a propane tree which connects to the tank. Totally easy, totally safe, designed for that purpose.A 20# tank is not convenient to lug around but lasts a lot longer if you don't have to move it around. There are intermediate size tanks that are a compromise between capacity and weight.

NO !!! 1st its not safe to keep a 20-lb propane tank inside your house. If it were to leak or some other way vent the propane into your house it would blow your house apart if it ignited. Second it is more expensive to run than natural gas or bulk propane in a giant outdoor tank. Better to use something like this inside if you have to.ProCom Recon Dual Fuel Vent-Free Infrared Heater - 20,000 BTU, Model# MD3TPF

The burner that I ordered works very well with high pressure propane (like in a gas bottle). "Plug-in gas" tubes in a house use lower pressure, so the orifice size will be wrong, and the regulator will also be wrong. My advice: don't do it.

You can use the camping version cylinders (16.4 oz) or use an adapter valve to attach to a large propane canister.

I'm no expert on lp gas regulators for grill, etc., but the box for this "Low Pressure LPG" hose with 1-PSI regulator and 3/8" flare swivel fitting contains the following warning: ! DO NOT USE ON TURKEY FRYERS ! Elsewhere it also says "For use with LP outdoor low pressure cookers and gas grills ONLY! Do not use for any other application." If you want more info, you could check with the distributor, Barbour International, Inc. at 101 Cypress Way in Brandon, MS 39042. Hope this helps.

The external threads are the same as the 20 lb tank valve. The internal threads fit those little green 1 lb propane cylinders. You attach the hose from your LP appliance to the external threads, and a 1 lb cylinder to the internal threads.

Heated my 36 foot trailer in November in northern Ontario. I always runv30lb tanks but I cant see why a 20 wont work. Ed

Go find the owner's manual available on Procomm website. Propane line is attached at lower right hand corner. I use a 250 gallon tank. 20 gallon bbq size is too small.

I have been using the standard 20 lb propane tanks from walmart or any other place that has standard tanks. I have never had an issue with it tripping the "safety shut-off" that others have mentioned. I also have the "squeeze valve" that lowers the flame automatically to a pilot light level, and only goes on full when you squeeze. This will lesson the chance of tripping the safety shutoff because the gas increases more slowly as you squeeze. It is also drastically safer, as the gas will lower to pilot level if you drop the torch. Overall, if I squeeze fully the flame would set anything that is within 2-3 feet of the end ablaze. It produces a relatively loud roar that sounds like a jet engine. I cannot imagine wanting a much larger flame for home or small business purposes, so I definitely would say there are no visible limitations from the regulator on the tank.

Propane only! Uses small portable 16 oz cylinders or you can purchase an adaptor to hook up to a larger propane bottle.
