I have a mr heater model no mh18b. is the gas filter that comes on the heater good enough for a 20 lb tank?

It depends on where you bought the gas, is it a clean outlet or questionable supplier? Particles can build-up in old hoses and flake off microscopically into your 20lb tank when loaded (filled). Only use 20lb tank outside of your home, run hose from outside to inside through a window which should be open about 3 inches for ventilation. I open the window at the bottom to let in O2 and open the top window to let out the CO.

I did not know that a filter comes on your heater, but if one does, there is no need for two. But I recommend a filter when using any tank that you refill.

yes. Whenever I have used this heater in my hot house ,I have always used a 20 gal. propane tank and it works very well.

No you can not use a 20lb tank. We live in a condo and we love it. A one pound tank works great for us.

No, it requires a regulated gas supply down to a low pressure in inches of water, not tank pressure. Look at a Mr. Heater Buddy heater, they have an internal pressure regulator and are designed to connect directly to a tank such as a small cylinder or a 20 lb grill size tank or larger.

I bought one and looked into that. Yes, with an accessory feed line and a conversion adapter to go to the canister connection you can fed it with a 20 lb tank. They even have a grommeted opening at the base that loos like it was made to feed that line into it. But the option I chose was to get a canister refill adapter and just refill the small canisters from my 20 lb tank. That way the heater is still fully portable and I have that endless supply of fuel from the 20lb tank. the line was $20 and the adapter was $8.

This is a 2 stage regulator, and it has the POL fitting which should fit into the threads on a 100 lb tank. Based on that, it should work for you. I installed one of these on a 20 lb tank at my hunting cabin to run a 4 burner cooktop and an 18000 btu wall heater. It has worked well for about 3 years so far.

Yes the 20# tank is adequate and will give you plenty of use before having to be replaced

If by "bar-b-que propane tank" you mean a standard 20-pound propane tank, then yes. No problem!

It comes equipped with the fitting for a 20 lb. tank. you would need an adapter to use the small 1 lb.cannisters.

You can actually actually get the adapter hose for the grill to 20lb tank anywhere. I bought mine from Walmart. Amazon has them, etc. Just make sure you are getting the hose that goes from a small bottle to normal propane, length as desired. I got a longer one so I could stow the 20lb bottle away.

we have an electric tank less that is rated at 4.5 GPM. We have very hard water in this part of MA and also have a well. We have been in this house for 30 years and have had problems with pipes rotting away. When we installed the electric tank less we installed this filter also. We used the heater for a few months and than had the plumber perform the maintenance suggested by the tank less mfg. It was clean as a whistle. Our flow rate is not as high as yours but if you had one in line with each heater - i would think it would work fine. Our heater used 120A for 4.5 GPM - if yours is electric it most use a lot of power! For our use I am very satisfied with the filter and given our water quality situation and how clean the heater was - i would highly recommend this filter. KR in MA

As per Mr Heater website certain heaters are not recommended for use with 100 pound tank. Answer is listed under FAQ on their website. Hope this helps.

I have a 20g hex tank and this fit perfectly. I can take measurements tonight if that will help.

If the fitting on the end of the hose/regulator fits on a standard 20lb tank, then the adapter should work.

I use a G90 on a 55gal tank. You should always use a larger filter than required on a given size tank. Bigger is better.

The 10 X 20 lee filter fit perfectly in my tank with same measurements. Good luck

You need to buy the propane version of this heater, not the natural gas one. Search for it - its on Amazon. It will work fine with one of those 25 pound tanks you can exchange at Home Depot or other such places, but it wont last very long at full blast. I have two 40 pound tanks. Whenever one runs out, I switch to the other one and go get the empty filled. I use mine to heat a weekend cabin. If you are going to heat continuously, I would suggest a much larger tank.
