natural gas heater to propane how?

Haul it in to your propane dealer. They should be able to change the jets.

Be sure to search through the heater carefully. It may already contain the orifice to convert to propane. It's often attached to a card with instructions on how to change it. This is very common in ranges, etc.

Yes. Ask at the propane supplier.

Call Grainger and get the instructions for that model heater, they'll tell you if and how you can convert it to Propane. Depending on the unit, you may have to...

1: Change the orfice jets from the Natural Gas ones to Propane. Look inside for a small fabric pouch or paper coin envelope secured under a screw, they often send a set of orfices with the new unit. 2: Change the pressure regulator setting - from memory, Natural Gas appliance burners like to run at roughly 4" Water Column, and Propane likes 11" to 14" WC at the burner. Some regulators have a reversible cap that switches the spring pressure automatically, some can be adjusted, and some you have to open and swap the springs. 3: Change the electronic controls, or move a wire/switch to tell it what the gas supply is. With Propane you want a positive safety lockout - if it doesn't start the cycle properly on the first or second try it quits trying until the power is cycled. So you don't build up a big pool of unburned gas in the burner, and the ignition system just keeps trying to light the burner until...

Ill have to check on this as well. I was given a Dayton ceiling mount forced air heater (similar to the old Renzers) that was never hooked up. The transformer and guts are hanging out, but everything seems to be there..

I need a replacement air pump kit for a Dayton torpedo heater. Anyone know who the OEMs were? It was 37F in the shop last night...

Thank God for Carrhart insulated coveralls....

37F??? I *wish* it would get that warm in my (10°) shop. Many the day I've burnt my front while freezin' m' butt at the forge.

Shrug..Im just a wush living here in California. I figured I payed my dues living off of Lake Superior in Michigans UP when growing up. Now I live in the desert. Low humidity, warm (hot) summer temps, foggy winter nights..

Yeah....nobody likes a hot wiener with a cold bun. On the other hand, I notice when my buns are warm and my wiener is cold, I get all the snuggling from the rear, which ain't so good, except the condiment containers feel fine.

Just remember - the bi-product is water-vapor into the air. So a dryer or de-hydrator is then needed :-)
