Converting a gas stove to LP?
We have a new stove that is for natural gas, but has the option to convert to propane, which is what we have.
Presently our tank feeds the dryer, hot water heater and stove with a 3/8″ line coming into the house, provided by the propane supplier.
That seems inadequate as the stove manufacturer is recommending a 1/2″ line, with a disclaimer that the propane provider can determine the size.
With our old stove, you just changed over with a conversion piece but the new one has directions for converting the top burners, the oven burners and the broiler. I want to be sure I’m reading this correctly and all 3 burners need to be converted.
Just looking for a little corroberation for anyone with knowledge of these new-fangled stoves.
You are reading the directions correctly. The orifices that you need should be fastened to the stove somewhere (usually in the back at the bottom) and the NG orifices should be stored there after the conversion just in case it needs to be converted back in the future. Believe me this happens often and most of the time the orifices are missing and it takes a while to order them from the factory if they are even available anymore.
The 3/8″ line should be adequate for LP gas since LP is under a higher pressure than NG.
The directions are pretty much self explanatory and not too difficult to follow. It can be tricky retrieving the orifices from the top burners and keeping the LP orifices from falling down through. I have found using electrical tape to make the orifices a “force” fit into the socket a help in doing this.
Good luck in your conversion and if you require assistance just click on my name and contact me and I will be glad to help.
