It could be either the thermostat or thermocouple is not getting correct voltage so will intermittent turn on and off.

SOURCE: B vent configuration of direct vent propane heaters

Yes, the design of the combustion chamber is limited at how much fresh air and combustion air can enter it. If you lengthen the venting, you will be causing more restriction and there will not be enough natural air movement to make it work. It will start, run for a minute or two and poof out. Not to mention you will be circumventing it's UL rating and if you sell your home with it installed, you are liable for any fatality or damage. Do you want to risk that? Don't even think of doing it! There are "Box" heaters out there sized from about 5,000 Btu's on up to 100,000 Btu's. Check the web.

It sounds like the thermocoupler is either not adjusted into the flame properly, or you may have gotten a bad one. The thermocouple is the main thing that makes the pilot work.

yes you can, but is complicated, involves changing injector, burner, and reprogramming the PCB for the new gas type. Get a pro to do it for you

I have a DYNA GLO VENT FREE NATURAL GAS WALL HEATER. I MOVED TO WHERE I DONT HAVE NATURAL GAS. CAN I CONVERT THIS HEATER TO PROPANE GAS? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

You probably could but hardly wise in my opinion. Propane has more carbon content and would produce more carbon monoxide and have a greater potential for being dangerous if the converter failed, though flueless heaters should be used only when the room is a good size and has at least the minimum required ventilation and if the heater is serviced regularly the danger would be minimised...

I strongly suggest you contact the manufacturer or a dealer about your question but if I was faced with the choice, if there was an external wall to the room requiring heat, I would consider a balanced flue heating appliance.

I need a thermocouple for a dyna glo natural gas wall heater

Billy here's a link to A & B Sales. They have what you're looking for. Whether your heater is Natural Gas or Propane makes no difference when it comes to thermocouples.However the length of the tubing does when it's a wall or stand type vent-free heater.

Have a vent free lp wall mounted heater.40 lp tank with regulater. pilot light will light but only the tip of pilot light is flame.there is a space between pilot light and tube where lp comes out. does not...

Too much gas pressure. Are you sure that this is a LP heater and not a Natural gas heater? Is the regulator you have rated under 1/2 pound pressure? Try to throttle down the shutoff on the tank to see if pilot gets better. If so, you have a pressure issue. Gas you adjust the pilot gas valve?
