can this unit be modified for natural gas

They sell them both ways the natural gas version is "Takagi T-K4-IN-NG Indoor Tankless Water Heater, Natural Gas" I would just buy the NG one. However if you already have it I'm sure you could get the correct orifice from the Mfg.

not sure.. I think you have to purchase it with the right nozzles for propane or ng....Since I have propane I made sure it was described as "propane". Maybe you could contact the manufacturer directly? PS this is an excellent h/w heater. I'm very happy with it...

I haven't tried it but it has the same makeup as a gas grill. You would have to change the orfice setting to account for natural gas and the connenction in order to connect to your supply line. If you aren't sure what I am talking about then you probably shouldn't do it because the unit doesn't come with a conversion kit

Yes. It can use either propane or natural gas. My unit came ready for propane but changing fuel type was a simple procedure. It works well -- heats both floors of my two story home.

You will have to hire a licensed plumber(?) to run a line from the nearest existing natural gas line. It will not be an inexpensive project.

No. Since nat. gas comes at a lower pressure, you need bigger size orifices. This package comes with more orifices than you'll need, but they recommend you store the original orifices in case you want to change back to nat. gas.

Here is the response to your question from the DuroMax Customer Service. "Our propane unit is not capable of running off natural gas. The system would require a different hose, carburetor, and jet set".http://www.duromaxgenerators.org/find_answers.html

I have never used this KAB6 on natural gas. I use propane and have not seen a better unit than this KAB6.

The unit I have runs on the gas piped into my home by the gas company. I call this natural gas, so yes. If you mean some other source of gas I can't say what will work or not. By the way, it works very well and my summer gas bill was cut in half.

It can be converted to LP gas but they already sell a unit that will do this. I don't know about "natural" gas, I think it could be with the right person doing it based on their skill level. Better to get one that is ALREADY built to do what you want it to do.

I was able to convert mine and it worked fine. I did the same thing I've done to everything that I've purchased that was intended for LP (propane) which is remove all of the LP gadgets (hose, regulator etc) and re-plumb accordingly for natural gas and then enlarge the jet accordingly. Of course none of this is UL approved or endorsed by Char-Broil in any way but if can be done. When completed the cooking time on natural gas was exactly the same as what the Char-Broil literature stated for LP.

Yes. You should be able to convert to natural gas. Look for conversion kits that support three burners. Also make sure the nipples are rated for the BTUs of the burner. If you want to, I can look it up for you. That said, see my response to another customer. I had some major challenges assembling this grill including need for some modifications because the parts did not fit perfectly. Also, I listed some tips on assembly as well. Once assembled, I am happy. I grill year round here in Washington, DC. :)

The pressures are different. The orifice size would need to be changed. Since natural gas operates at a lower pressure than propane, in theory you could drill out the nozzles to the correct size. I would consult the manufacturer first, because it is critical for the proper gas flow and above all, SAFETY.

Yes. I had my gas co. hook mine to my 250 gal. propane underground tank. They tied into the high pressure line just before the regulator next to my house and installed a tamper resistant valve with a quick connect on it. I have run it this way. Works fine. Would highly recommend you get your gas co. to do this. They need to see if the high pressure line is big enough. To hook it up this way also voids the warranty.

Call or email the company for this. I have a Generac 20K house generator on natural gas.

Ours says for liquid propane only. May be able to change the orifice to a natural gas. But, not that I can see. Sorry.
