Hello: duhls
You posted.
I've called all the stores in my town about this conversion kit
and nobody know anything about one. Can I buy the natural
gas regulator and orfice separetly. Is it a generic natural gas
regulator ? What about the orfice ? Is there any general
spec. for it ?
My reply:
I am surprised there isn't any local appliance dealer with the parts. Yes. Any natural gas apliance regulator will work just fine on a BBQ.
You could purchase the parts seperately if you like. You may need to visit a local patio furniture retailer that also sells BBQ's. Often times their service people do conversions. The stores then will have the needed conversion parts.
In your area, which is unknown to me, you may also inquire at the local hardware stores, plumbing supply stores and inquire at a local heating and A/C retail parts store.
FYI:
Your question above is reposted here because I prefer not to have my FYI postings replied to. There are or may be others that want to print it. In that case, a reply then also prints, which is, in my opinion, unnecessary.
Regards & Good Luck
