Considering this, can you run a propane generator on natural gas?No, you cannot run it on natural gas without modifications. The orifice that the gas passes through has to be changed to account for the different pressure of natural gas. A lot of propane appliances have a natural gas conversion kit available.Secondly, does a natural gas cooktop need a regulator? Normal piping for natural gas service includes a pressure regulator at or near where your gas meter is located. All connections after that point have the same low regulated pressure, which is less than 2 psig. Stoves, hot water tanks, fireplaces and barbecues do not need their own regulators. Similarly, what happens if you use propane on a natural gas stove? Conversely, trying to use a propane appliance with natural gas will likely result in a very small flame or no burner flame at all because of the lower pressure gas and the smaller orifice. Additionally, appliances cannot be converted from electricity to propane, or vice-versa.What is the difference between a natural gas orifice and a propane orifice?Natural gas is fed at a smaller pressure than propane, so to get the same heating value (usually measured in BTUs), a natural gas orifice has to be smaller than a propane one. This suggests that you can convert a natural gas appliance to a propane one and vice versa by changing the orifice on the gas valve.
