Can you convert any grill to natural gas?
Not every propane grill can use natural gas, so be sure to consult your owner’s manual. Many LP grills have manufacturer ‘dual-fuel labels’ showing they can be converted to NG. If so, then the manufacturer will offer conversion kits via their website or other retail outlets. You’ll need to buy a natural gas grill.
Do you need a regulator for natural gas grill?
All natural gas grills are required to have an appliance regulator. It regulates the pressure going into the grill. It is good idea to have one on an LP grill that has high BTUs. These grills will include an appliance regulator that is convertible.
What size orifice is needed for natural gas?
Natural gas pilot orifice sizes typically vary from approximately 0.014 to 0.026 (inches diameter). Examples include 0.026′′ for a commercial cook- ing appliance pilot (1,835 Btu/hr at 4′′ pressure), and 0.018′′ for a natural gas water heater pilot (879 Btu/hr at 4′′ pressure).
Does Weber make a natural gas conversion kit?
However, due to safety considerations, the complexity of the technology and gas train components, as well as the level of disassembly required, we don’t allow conversions or provide conversion kits.
Which orifice is larger propane or natural gas?
Natural gas is a much lower pressure gas than propane and converting the appliance to one or the other gases requires that the differing pressure is compensated for. The reason for this is because natural gas orifices are larger than propane orifices strictly because of gas service pressure.
Can I convert my Napoleon propane grill to natural gas?
We do not manufacture conversion kits. Our Napoleon grills are gas specific, are certified and tested for their specific gas type and should not be modified or adjusted in any way. If you require service for your grill.
Can you use a propane regulator for natural gas?

Are all natural gas grill regulators the same?
Are All Gas Grill Regulators the Same? Every propane gas grill uses an LP regulator, but not all regulators are created equal. Though the purpose is the same, different types of setups require different types of regulators. The type of regulator a grill needs is based on the specific propane application requirements.
What is the purpose of a natural gas regulator?
A natural gas regulator brings the gas pressure to a normal level by detecting the gas pressure downstream of the regulator and modifying the spring valve as necessary to provide a continual flow of gas.
How much does it cost to hook up a natural gas grill?
How much does it cost to hook up a natural gas grill? Typically, installing a natural gas grill will cost between $200 and $400, according to HomeAdvisor. This includes running the gas line to your grill and then hooking it up. Low-end installations may cost under $200, while high-end installations may cost up to $800.
What is the difference between a natural gas orifice and a propane orifice?
Because of gas service pressure, natural gas orifices are larger than propane ones. Attempting to use a propane appliance with natural gas will likely result in a very small flame or no burner flame because of the lower pressure gas and the smaller orifice.
Can a propane fire pit be converted to natural gas?
You can convert fire pit to natural gas using a propane to natural gas conversion kit. You’ll need a natural gas line run from your house to the fire pit. This is necessary so you can hook up the conversion kit and have access to the natural gas supply.
