Hi
I have a boiler that runs on natural gas supplied from the national grid
Its for central heating and hot water
Its a Worchester 21i Junior
The cooper gas inlet pipe looks like 15mm and the bore of the hose on my gas bottles are 5/16"
My question is would my methane boiler work on propane butane with a restrictor/ regulator

Thanks
James

Its a what boiler.
The what pipe?

Why not try and run it on used chip fat? Good stuff Ive heard.
Are you some kinda wally, or you just finished renovating a kitchen in Manchester?
Surely a wind up :rolleyes:

This is a wind up surely.Why would you want to do what you are asking and run a NG boiler off lpg?
I never said LPG
and the bore of the hose on my gas bottles are 5/16"
Gas bottles draw the fluid out from the top of the bottle not the bottom so therefor its a gas not a liquid

Nope waste engine oil taken out of the waste oil bank at Morrisons supermarket

Change of plan
As you can see from the last pix I have removed the inlet pipe (after regulator) and the outlet pipe from the gas meter
I plan on joining the two together with a hose and some fittings
Therefore bypassing the meter
I pan on using hose as opposed to coper pipe for easy quick fitting
The question is what kind of fittings do I need to purchase
Question. What kind of thread are the on the compresion nuts on the inlet and out let
Maybe I could find a nipple for both ends
But they dont seem to sell tail/barb/hydraulic fitting in the plum center so do you think there is any thing ready made up in at the plum center that I can fit stright on

Thanks
James
