Question

since I have all the free gas I want to use. I want to change a cook stove from propane to natural gas . so what size orfice do I use .or does some one know what size the hole is in the orfice> if I knew the size of the orfice hole I can drill the old orfice out

this is what I got a 2" line from the well to the separtor . from the separtor to a drip from the drip to a high presure regulator to 1" line going to another drip from the drip to a low presure regular . from the low presure to under the houe to a rigester of 1" steel pipe . what I want to do it change the orfice to regular gas
I' m not so dumb as to blow my home up also I dont have a a gas dealer . it's straight from the well 5000 to 6000 feet deep

I see some of these answer 's are from some people that dont know **** about what they are trying to tell me . I said it was free gas and with free gas you dont have a dealer . the gas well is on my property.hence free gas there is no meter

Answer 1

you'll find most cook stoves have an adjustable orifice all you need to do is adjust them out look at where the gas comes out of the valve under the top of the stove should be a hex shaped doodad there this is the orifice good luck.

Answer 2

I agree with the other people. Contact a dealer. Either the appliance dealer for the stove or a gas company in the area. Most gas companies sell and service equipment that runs on the gas they supply (even if you are not getting the gas from them). They will have the resources to help you. Don't waste time trying to drill out the LP hole. The tolerances need to be precise in order to get the proper flame. New orifices are cheap.

Answer 3

No you can't, unless you don't mind blowing up your house. It would be virtually impossible to drill a # 56 hole perfectly straight in. Orifices are dirt cheap ... literally. Order the correct orifice using the model number. While you are waiting for the new orifice, make certain the regulator can be converted without having to be replaced. If this is a straight cook stove, it may be a straight LP or NAT regulator. Look on the regulator. If it states LP, it to will have to be replaced.

Answer 4

Many gas stoves and cooktops can be either LP or NG simply by changing out the orifices, flipping the regulator and adjusting the air flow. The best source to find out if yours is one of them is to consult the manufacturer.

Answer 5

You need to contact the stove manufacturer, they have the change outs you need. Save yourself a house fire, it is worht the $15.00. I have natural gas, but had propane before gas was available. If you are talking electric to gas, it is not going to work. ou have to spend the mone on the appliance. Propane sucks, by the way.

Answer 6

Your title contradicts what your question is asking. Do you want to convert from Propane to Natural or Natural to Propane? Either way, call the manufacturer of the stove and ask them for a conversion kit. Ask for and "LP Kit" or a "Propane to Natural Gas" conversion kit.

Answer 7

Get the retrofit kit, comes with everything you need to transform to natural gas, different pressure and fire point come into play, call your local Propane supplier for details, good luck

Answer 8

apparantly you don't know **** either or you wouldn't be asking this question, would you? you really need to hire someone who is lis. to do this. If you have the well on your property, who maintains it? That person may have the knowledge and experience to be able to help you out without charging you much, if anything at all. Do you even have rights to the well? Just because it's on your land doesn't mean squat! I'm not being a smart***.....no more of one than you are, anyway... Just giving my opinion based on experience.

Answer 9

talk to your local gas dealer ,, those jets have to be machined to tolerance and you need a regulator. you may want to get a separator too, depending on how wet your gas is..

Answer 10

if you have the gas company come out they will do it for free. they did mine when i switched
