I do not recommend someone to tamper with propane connections or regulators unless you are knowledgeable with it. Propane is a "very" powerful gas. Set up properly it is Great. But dangerous if done improperly. Call a professional for your safety.

All pro SPC 150T propane heater. starts and runs great for 10 minutes and then shuts heat down and blows only cold air. let sit for time and it repeats process.

It is possible that the problem with your All Pro SPC 150T propane heater could be caused by a faulty gas regulator or pressure switch. The gas regulator controls the flow of propane while the pressure switch controls the temperature of the heater. You may need to replace the gas regulator or pressure switch in order to get your heater running again. Additionally, you could also check for any loose connections or clogs in the fuel line.

How to connect two 1000 gal lp tanks together

Assuming that you want only one tank to run out at a time, you will need to set each at a different supply pressure, then Tee them together on the delivery side of the regulators. You will need pressure-holding regulators. Pressure-relieving type will not work unless you add a one-way backflow prevention valve after the regulator in the branch that is set to lower pressure.

I have an Enviro propane fireplace insert installed last year & it worked fine. The tank & regulator were changed because I got another gas supplier. For some reason now I have a low flame....

It sounds to me like you need to increse gas pressure. Most propane fired units need at least a 11 inch water column of pressure for proper operation. This relates closely 7.5 ounces. I would have regulator checked out by qualified service techs. Thank you

http://www.northerntool.com/downloads/manuals/177883.pdf

You need to a 8-11WC regulator for propane and if you are using natural gas you will want to keep the pressure between 3-10WC

If this is connected to a propane bottle you want o use at least a 100lb bottle.

Thanks

Can i switch a model RN30 from natural gas to propane?

Only the portable heaters that are manufactured to be used on dual fuel (nat gas/propane) can switch from one to another. If they are made for 1 type of gas only, they are not field serviceable and cannot be converted. Douglas

Hooking up a pool heater to propane.

A pressure regulator and pipe or hose. Whoever is selling you the tank/propane should be able to help you size everything based on the tank hook-up and tank pressure. The heater nameplate will tell you the proper inlet gas pressure that the regulator will need to reduce the tank pressure to.

Hot water heater doesn't work 2 years old

First I would check to be sure your propane tank(s) are not empty and valve is not turned off and that the required gas pressure is being delivered to the unit i.e. pressure line tubing is not kinked or leaking - pressure regulator is operating properly.

Another culprit could be the thermocouple is malfunctioning or is not positioned properly, hence not allowing it to sense the flame.

Procom ML300TBA Heater: Liquid or Gas

Propane exist in a liquid state when it is under pressure in a propane cylinder. When the valve on the propane cylinder the pressure on the liquid is reduced and the propane reverts back to gas state.

Also, regarding the tank you need....
the owners manual probably states what size you will need but, with most heater like the one you have it will require a 100 lb tank (approximately 25 gallons). You will also need an inline regulator set to 11" to 14" of water column between the tank and the heater.
