I'm buying one of these for my home in Cozumel MX. So I need the unit, valve kit, 100lb tank, 3/4 inch gas line & what size & type of regulator?

City gas pressure comes out around 2psi. I've seen this unit run off of a BBQ tank with a bbq line that comes out around 2psi or so. It did need some brass adapters to make it fit the unit though (from bbq line to rheem fitting)

Dave, you'll need to buy some hose and fittings. I converted my tank to 3/8" hose because the unit comes with 1/4" hose output. I used quick connect fittings also so unhooking hoses is a snap.

Just what you see, the unit and humidistat. Transformer and saddle valve too. You need wire and copper tubing.

I called my Gas Co. They had a service technician come out and measure it out for me. We installed a 2 inch pipe to the pad then 3/4 to the heater And even then I had to convince them to install a their largest meter, because at their smaller meters starved my heater of gas when the water heater and house heater were in use.

If you have 2 psi pressure coming to the appliance then this regulator is what you need. Your gas supplier will be able to tell you what your line pressure is. If it's not 2 psi then the appliance should be ready to connect to your gas piping as is .

Usually there will be a regulator on your natural gas meter on the side of your house or at your propane tank outside your home depending on which type of a gas you are using. So yes it does need a regulator , but if your house is running propane or natural gas it already has a regulator in place. I installed my eccotemp FVI-12-LP to a 20lb propane tank using a regulator from a propane shop rated for the water heater btu . Also you can't use those plastic handled hoses that you see on BBQ or rv tank connections because they contain a check valve that will cut the flow of gas to your heater when you fire it up. The check valve thinks there is a gas leak because of the high demand of the water heater, its a safety feature for bbqs. Hope that helps.

No name brand on regulator, however seems to be good quality as some of the reviews I read said previous kits had poor quality regulators. As for the valves, they are ball locks, the kit in my opinion is a really good buy. Kegs came pressurized, and in fairly good condition (obviously used) I had to replace one seal on one keg, but new seals are provided.

yup, you have to get a hose, regulator and tank. Works much better with gas, tried it with flux core wire and was very hot and messy. Hobart makes a fixed flow regulator that I have and it seems to work well, just cant tell whats left in the tank.

I don't see it here on Amazon, but if you go to the EdgeStar website, they call it the "Conversion Kit." The regulator is pretty bottom of the line so you have to make small adjustments or you will overshoot the pressure.

There is a "Patio kit" that might be better served. Both kits come with 25 psi regulators. You will want a lot of 1/4" lines where as the "Garden kit" is built on a 1/2" trunk line. The Garden kit is very accommodating though and will serve your needs but you may need to purchase additional 1/4" line and emitters.

I use the mr heater ten foot buddy hose. the regulator is part of the heater.

I bought a 110 psi compressor with a 2 liter tank. Works like a dream. Make sure to have tight hose connections because they can and will seperate due to the high pressure.

I'm assuming from the way you referred to 'my LP source' that you have a tank, regulator, valve, and probably a flex line. My best recollection is this takes a 1/2" MPT connection but someone in the plumbing department will know for sure. I'm pretty sure I connected mine to standard black threaded gas line. My guess is you'll have a brass connection to your line.

generally you need a certified tech from your local gas co. too hook up. you need a special regulator & depending how you install and run the line out side it all depends. call a tech.
