Is it possibile to change a mobile home from propane gas to natural gas?
Due to differences between natural gas and propane, they require differing amounts of gas supplied to the burner. This is controlled by the size of the opening where the gas goes into the burner. The mechanism for control is called an “ORIFICE,” which usually is made of brass, and looks like a short, fat bolt, with a tiny hole at the center of the bolt head. The difference between the orifices for each gas is accomplished simply by varying the size of that hole. There is a conversion kit that you can buy at the hardware store. It is fairly simple to do. Typically it involves switching out orifices, which look like a short bolt with a hole in the middle. Take out the old, put in the new.
