territorialmillworks Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Blower that I picked up has a 1" port for natural gas induction into the intake/blower housing. If I'm using propane into the blower, do I still need a nozzle or can I just plumb a line and use a needle valve and regulator for adjustment. I'm thinking that I may need a nozzle for brack pressure for adjustability but not for the air/gas mix. This forge will be used with a ribbon burner.

Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Sounds like a "Maxon" blower. No, that is the only gas connection you'll need. the ribbon burner is ideal for that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james gonzalez Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I would be interested in seeing pictures of your unit. I would like do build a ribbon burner type forced air propane forge to replace my worn out venturi burner type unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
territorialmillworks Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Grant, I may have confused the question...To clarify, I was talking about using a nozzle into the port vs 1/4" line plumbed into the port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
