If you don't have natural gas coming to your home than you will need to exchange the heater for a propane model. If you have natural gas coming through your home through a main gas line in the street you will need to contact a plumber or heating & cooling contractor to make the connection for you. You can contact me for any more questions at gsecher@gmail.com.

This hose is designed to use the quick-connect low pressure piping outlet past the propane tank connections. You may need to go to a RV shop and piece together some kind of adapters for your need.

The gas connect is inside but the propane tank would be outside. You can find the manual via using google to see how it connects.

No. It's regulated at the generator. Just attached the hose connection to any portable propane tank.

Yes, because it is not plugged into anything. We have it connected to our propane tank (professionally done).

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 can hook it to the big propane tank with the converter hose, not included of course. I bought the hose but have not used it because i am using up the several small cannisters that I already have. I don't know about hooking it to a fixed natural gas line.

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 you would need a hose to connect the propane tank. I use a hose with 5 # & 10# tanks.

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

Well you don't give much information but I'll offer something that might help. I bought a stove that ran on natural gas and bought this kit to switch it to propane. I did not have to change anything where the stove connects to the gas line so they muct be the same. Hope this helps!

You definetly need a 3/4 in. Gas line connection to this device because it runs at a maximum of 199k BTUs which a smaller line won't put out. The size of the gas line at your meter is determined by the number of appliances and BTUs the whole system requires.

You will need to go to a propane dealer and get an adapter. Any plumbing supply should help you also. I had to buy a couple of adapters.

Hi, we just ended up getting a bottle propane for a few bucks. I am not sure about running it from a gas line on a camper. So sorry. The product itself is great and we have it attached to our boat. We love it!

short answer, no. it has to have the same connector as your gas grill type propane tanks

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.
