Hello sagoo. Welcome to my Gas Appliances topic and the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
First. Define "cabinet heaters." Do you mean cabin heaters? Very likely the heating pros on the site will need this info and much more detailed and specific information about these heaters and how they are currently installed. Also the need for the conversion, etc.
Second. Posting the question in the correct forum topic will provide the best possible answer to the question. My gas appliances topic does not accept question about heaters, therefore I moved your question here for you. Doing so will provide the best possible results.
Kindly use the reply button to post all replies, add additional information or ask additional questions when replies are posted. Using this method moves and/or keeps the topic back up to the top of the list of questions automatically and keeps all content on the same subject within one thread.

Most heaters can be converted by changing the orifice(s) & using a kit to change the gas valve pressure. Some are not convertable & others require the gas valve be changed out. If you will post make & model of the heaters we might be able to tell you more.

Make & model is Perfection-Schwank. Model isWVRC250CTN-P
50,000 btu. It was already switched from NG to LP 12 yrs ago. A different gas valve was installed. Now I want to
change it back to NG. Thank You...Tony

Have you asked the company that made it for a change over kit for it????

I think the Perfection part of the business has folded. Schwank still makes commercial/industrial heaters but from what I understand, the residential end is gone.
