The instructions say to install a natural gas regulator. It is for my small bathroom with natural gas. Is this required ?

I really can't say I got it for my granddaughter and they haven't installed it yet

You will need the pipe & connections to supply the gas to the unit. I installed a stop valve before the heater and used a flexible hose/pipe to heater. I also used hardie board and a piece of sheet metal on the wall behind, though not required.

Yes, it does require a regulator. Amazon has them for sale here: Mr Heater Two Stage Propane Regulator but you might be able to find one cheaper elsewhere (tractor/farm supply store).From the installation manual: WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8" NPT(National Pipe Thread) inlet connection to thepressure regulator. Use of floor mounting feet willrequire you to use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to makegas connection.CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the Propanesupply. This heater requires an external regulator (notsupplied). Install the external regulator between the heaterand Propane/LP supply.The installer must supply an external regulator.

You have to change the orifice for natural gas. I have never found where to get one, as I would like to switch mine over.

The NG model is for natural gas. I had this professionally installed. One day I come home to the fire department in my bathroom. They took the unit off the wall where it was burning a hole through the back. Could not get a refund -- they sent me a refurbished model. No way I would install this brand after nearly losing my house.

Do not hook it to a natural gas line, the regulator is not set up to handle natural gas. Propane burns differently and you could have serious fire/explosion issues with natural gas.

If you are going to install the heater in your house that has the large propane tank already running a water heater and furnace, and you are going to connect it to the existing LP piping, you don't need another regulator. You will however, want to make sure the existing piping is large enough to "carry" the additional load. If you are going to run the new heater separately, than yes, this regulator will run it. FIY, I'm an LP service tech.

Are you telling me to do something?? I believe you are trying to ask " WILL THIS connect to my large home SUPPLY?" Possibly I don't know how your gas lines are configured but, with the proper fittings it could.

No problem. Also pressure regulator should be before tank if you need one. Put ours on this summer and love it. Yes it works.

No. I had to hire a plumber to run a separate line From my natural gas source. He also made me a selperate line from the generator to the gas hook up. This generator needs a specific amount of PSI to do the job right. Hire a licensed plumber to do the job right ,for the safety of your family. having said that,I am extremely pleased with the generator. I finally have peace of mind !

It depends on how this is used. If you are replacing a unit in an rv then nothing else is needed. If you are installing this where propane hasn't been used before then you would need a regulator and hose that would attach to this unit and your propane tank.

The one I bought is for natural gas. You still need to get the stainless steel exhaust pipe to install.

Yes you do need electricity the unit has many sensors and a fan that needs electricity it runs on standard household power 110volts. I replaced my old water heater that was a natural gas unit and already had a gas line that I used it is a 3/4" service and seems to work well

I bought this for my propane fireplace. You will hve no problem with your natural gas. It makes the fireplace look beautiful, much better than the black stones that were placed in my fireplace when I had it installed. You will be happy that you replaced them.

When I was putting the grill together, I saw that the owners manual gave instructions on how to attach a natural gas line, as well as propane, to the unit. I was not not planning on installing the natural gas option so I did not pay too much attention to that process. I am not sure if one needs to buy any additional parts to get the natural gas option working. Good Luck

Yes & its not a big deal. Many heating & ac stores will do it for you. You will need a flex supply hose (required & avalible via amazon). Remove the short connection hose & regulator from the grill as you will attach the new flex line direct. There are 3 jets that regulate the flow to the burners. They need to be enlarged to allow more gas flow as natural has is under less pressure. For drill size contact companys who do heating instalations. I have enjoyed the no hassel, no tank & not running short of gas when grilling. Hope this helps & hood luck. Bill

It must be connected to a natural gas line (pipe). If you don't have natural gas where you live, this unit is not for you. If you do have natural gas, it does operate without electricity so is good if you lose electricity.
