can the valve be used as a propane shut off? Thanks/

According to Kingston, "Kingston Mini Ball Valves are designed for air, water, or inert gases." Inert gases being those similar to helium, neon, argon, etc. However, I believe the US government places a certain safety requirement on gas valves that Kingston has either not applied for, the government does not recognize this type of valve or something else. Amazon sells gas valves: http://www.amazon.com/Brasscraft-TBV8--Inch-Valve-Rough/dp/B00527E9N0/ref=sr_1_4?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1376661221&sr=1-4&keywords=gas+valve. Best bet is to contact Kingston ((866) 628-8287 (310) 326-8287) http://www.kingstonvalves.com/85/Products/26/3/parts_details.aspx. They do not appear to sell any valves that involve human safety.

No. Propane runs at a higher pressure than natural gas. I would check the overall pressure rating of the natural gas hose shown.

This unit has the turn valve to control and or turn the gas on or off. In case of tip over , their is NO mechanism that would automatically turn this off.

It has to be used outdoor if using propane, and yes, the unit can be damaged by rain or snow, so it's better if you cover it. But do not bother buying this and hoping it will work on propane. Mine worked for a day and failed. No customer service, no parts, only speaks french (which I do). DO NOT BUY!

It has a quick connect where it attaches to the main gas line,but NO it does not have a separate shut-off valve. I installed a separate ball ball valve.

No. Must use propane tank. Very poor made unit. Fell apart after 2 days sitting outside. I would not buy again.

You can but you may need to use two cartridges of gas to get the results you are used to. I don't leave the gas cartridges screwed in. Pointless with the stop valve. don't forget to shake it each time you use it.

Yes, we are using this adjustable regulator on a std propane tank (available at any home center). The new style tanks with the course external threads on the valve also have the finer inside left handed threads that this regulator screws into. If for some reason your tank valve does not have the internal left hand threads the regulator will not fit.... in that case get rid of your tank.

I am hoping you are not thinking of hitching this up to the natural gas supply in your house. I can't imagine you not blowing yourself up if you do. I would seek the advice of a certified plumber but my initial reaction is that the pressure of gas coming into your house from the street is far greater than what this unit can handle. If you mean gas from a large outside propane unit, that is probably doable, but again I would seek the advice of a professional. Gas is one thing I wouldn't fool around with.

The shut off valve is plastic but I do not know exactly what type or melting point. It can be mounted away from a heat source

Yes the valve is plastic but considering you're attaching it to rubber fuel lines melting should not be an issue. This is the type of valve that comes standard as a fuel shut off on many small engines including lawnmower and snowblower engines.

It's currently configured to connect to a propane tank. I assume your house gas line is natural gas, but probably has the same connection. I say yes. You can always plumb it with the right fittings if not.

The valve on this tank is identical to a 20 lb propane tank typically used with gas grills - right hand thread. I think the other end of your connector hose would need to connect to a "POL fitting with a left hand thread".

Not directly, but there are attachments you can get that will regulate natural gas for propane applications, I imagine those would work.

No there is no shut valve on the unit -I use the tank shut off as I have nothing else on the gas line. Ya can buy a inline hand valve for lp gas service a most hardware stores. The thermostat from suburban is a seperate part and has a off seting but gas is still going to the unit controlled valve

No. The gas shut off valve is typically installed by the gas company to the stub. You may be able to find a handyman who can do it. The hose attaches to that valve.
