Burners have to be replaced with natural gas types.
Pressure will also require adjustment.
Not a DIY job... engage a licensed plumber/gasfitter.
I brought a gas heater it saying on the back its propane
now i have a natural gas port in the lounge can i just plug
this heater in or do i need conveters??
Thanks

you have a natural gas connection in the lounge? Are you sure it's not a propane gas bottle connection?

I bought a portable Room heater designed for Natural Gas quite cheaply and had it converted to Propane Gas.
I have to say I was very surprised the place I took it to for conversion only sort of 'scribbled' out the old Natural Gas Label so I chased up a sticker to put on it.
I KNOW the heater is LPG but no one else would by reading the old label that was there.
Apparently they can ship Natural Gas by Ship in a liquid form so I wonder would they ever release NG gas in cylinders the same way as LPG?
Based on some of the things people get up to now who use any form of Gas, the imagination is running riot at the moment if that ever happened.
I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
jets and regulator need changing
dont say linux if i wanted it id install it

Any house that has a portable NG heater will have a bayonet connection. All quite normal and safe.

I have no idea about propane as the ones I am talking about are for NG. You questioned the use of bayonet connections for NG and I am simply highlighting that there are bayonet connections for use on portable NG appliances.

Not sure if the Propane Bayonet & Natural Gas Bayonet are identical, however they may be.
My last house (23 years ago) in Wollongong had Natural Gas with bayonet fittings in rooms.
EDIT; forgot about the OP, yes as above, jets & pressure/regulator need to be changed to suit the correct gas.

The information is out there; you just have to let it in."
I posted earlier I bought a NG Portable heater and had it converted to LPG and the hose/bayonet fitting was NOT changed.
Go to any Gas supplier and none of these fittings are marked in any way to differentiate between the two.
I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
they bayonets installed for either gas is exactly
the same they are only the supply of the gas.
The type of heater etc connected needs to match the gas
supplied as the jets and regulator do the actual work.
here is a good page explaining whats needed to be done , would take me about 15 minutes
back in the day when i used to do it .
dont say linux if i wanted it id install it

Basically its up to the user to buy the correct appliance to connect to the gas service but when you think about it and how 'Over the top' they can be at times, it is a wonder the connections arent different.
Not many would know that there were at least two different size outlets on the Gas Cylinders.
Until they were 'standadised', the NSW Railways had their own sized connections on the 49 Kg Bottle, it was roughly one diameter bigger than what is used today, the reason for the size difference was to stop anyone else using them.

I fix my own car, do my own electrics and plumbing but one thing I will never touch is a gas appliance !
The explosion or death from CO poisoning can come with no warning.
I wouldn't even consider using a flu-less gas heater.

You are reasonably safe connecting a LPG appliance to a NG source as the likely result will be an extremely small flame under almost no pressure, but the other way around could cause massive flames !
Open a bbq gas bottle and you can hear the gas rocket out under pressure. Do the same for a NG outlet and you'll struggle to hear it. As mentioned earlier the size of the jets is much larger in the NG to compensate for the lack of pressure.

When I was a kid, I used to have an imaginary friend. I thought he went everywhere with me. I could talk to him and he could hear me, and he could grant me wishes and stuff too. But then I grew up, and stopped going to church.
