Ratty Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi All I just by chance got a cermaic chip forge from the local blacksmiths yesterday that he had running on Natural gas. I want to convert it to LPG but I dont know what adapter I would need to do that. The forge gas hose has a cooker type connecter and I want to connect it to a standard size propane hose. But I have no idea of what the adapter is called so hopless searching the internet. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 What I did was to go down to my propane supplier and say "I need to hook this to this". 5 minutes later I was walking out of the store good to go! They could also advise me on if I needed to re-do the orifice for a NG to LPG conversion. Probably not a problem for a blown system with a good gas needle valve on it; but I did need it for an aspirated NG burner to aspirated LPG burner---and they did it for me for a couple of bucks and a "come back in an hour". (welding shops often have conversion fittings too) Finding a *good* propane dealer; preferably with someone on the staff that's been in the business for a looong time is just like money in the bank. When my wife bought a 40 to 50 year old propane kitchen stove, (no NG in the country!), the local propane place actually had a fellow who had worked on them when they were *new* on the market and could give it a thorough inspection before we installed it.
