Yes it can be converted, however you cannot buy orifice, will require a license.

Its complicated to convert. Get a qualified gasfitter to do it. The part number to convert LPG to Nat Gas is R1911 (at least it is here in New Zealand)

You don't mention any error codes displayed. If this is the case I would start with a new main PCB. It should try and light for approx. 10 seconds and then go to lockout with an error code 11 if it was a gas supply issue. This is all controlled by the PCB hence my opinion on a PCB fault.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your input. Winter is coming and I will have a look at the heater this weekend. Good, clear advice. Thanks again."

SOURCE: Is it possible to convert a rinnai avenger 25 from

Yes it Should but you will want to check with manafactuer because it will need a conversion kit for lp gas. Natural gas is a different p.s.i. than lp gas so don't try without conversion kit. It should be just a small fitting that goes inside the gas valve. Hope this helps have a good day

SOURCE: adjust natural gas to lpg

You need a new orifice - the store you bought the appliance from should have the kit. DO NOT use lp with a natural gas orifice - you will get a huge flame!

I HAVE A JACUZZI HEATER RINNAI 95GS-5 DO THINK PROPANE WOULD WORK ON THIS ITEM

Contact Rinnai, or look at product manual.
Products rated for natural gas do not work with propane.
Propane burns hotter and has more pressure... wrong gas can cause explosion

What does it take to convert a Rinnai R75LS water heater from propane to natural gas?

Contact Rinnai.
Gas control valve is different, burner is different, burner and gas valve must match, threads are regular instead of reverse, dip switches probably have to be changed since combustion of NG is not as hot. Maybe different sensors. Pressures are lower with NG.

Rheem 300170 HWS service manual

1) Rheem does not post service manuals.
Call Rheem and ask why, since the other big manufacturers, AO Smith and Bradford White do post service manuals.

2) You need new propane gas control valve, and matching combustion parts to fit existing tank.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Rheem-Water-Heater-parts-catalog.pdf
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/IMG_1826-LP-burner-450.jpg

3) Rheem does not recommend changing gas type, especially from natural gas to LPG.
LPG is higher pressure, and burns much hotter and requires cast iron burner, unlike the lighter-weight metal used for Natural gas burner.
The manifold tube and thermocouple must match the gas control valve, and gas-type and have correct thread for propane.
The combustion chamber and heat transfer surface can also be heavier metal for propane heaters.

Need help

I would use the instant unit for a secondary unit to a large conventional heater, 40 gal min, gas or electric. They are both about the same now, but when the power goes out, you might not have the pump running, but you will have hot water! And whether it is a secondary or a primary water source, you will have a hot supply feeding it just in case. We have 2 people in the house, and a 30 gallon unit, and it is not big enough. The 40 gallon tank worked great. Hope this helps.

How is liquid lpg system set up? i have a aqua star mod.125vp that i would like to install in my home, the liquid lpg. is the part im not shure about. thanks d.r.

The lpg either cylinder or gas tank must have a pressure reducing valve which sets the gas pressure to that required by the boiler.
After that valve the piping is the same as for any gas boiler.Where the pipe goes through the wall floor of similar - make sure the pipe has a sheath to protect it from gouges and or wet

The regs - Not sure about the USA but here in UK we have comply. different regs for tank or cylinder
The lpg supplier is a good source of info

I have a Rinnai tankless gas water heater and this things beeping and flashing 12 everytime we turn on the hot water the water will get hot but you have to wait for it to stop beeping

Error 12 is failed ignition - this can be caused by many things, but normally a low gas pressure, or no gas pressure upon ignition.
Try turning the hot tap on very slowly till till the control shows burner is lit. Then turn it on faster. If it stays going with no error, you might have a faulty regulator, not opening fast enough to meet demand. Especially common with lpg models,a lot rarer on natural gas.
