I'm buying one of these for my home in Cozumel MX. So I need the unit, valve kit, 100lb tank, 3/4 inch gas line &amp; what size &amp; type of regulator?

City gas pressure comes out around 2psi. I've seen this unit run off of a BBQ tank with a bbq line that comes out around 2psi or so. It did need some brass adapters to make it fit the unit though (from bbq line to rheem fitting)

I use this regulator with it, hose is included on the regulator.Bayou Classic 7850 0-30 PSI Adjustable High-Pressure Propane Regulator for 1/4-Inch Inlets and Outlets

I found it on the Lotos web site in the manual. The CFM requirement is only 3.8. @ 66 PSI. A small compressor should do the job. Tank size will not matter if you have at least these specs.

I don't see it here on Amazon, but if you go to the EdgeStar website, they call it the "Conversion Kit." The regulator is pretty bottom of the line so you have to make small adjustments or you will overshoot the pressure.

Hi for natural gas the regulator is built in. 2014 models have about a 12" line out and include a shut off valve. You will need a gas line to the shut off valve. Thank you, Patio Splash

You have to use 20 pound tank . It comes with a 5 foot hose and regulator for 20 pound tank . You can get adapter to connect to 1 pound canister. I have mine set up to connect to my camping trailer gas supply . It work great any way you set it up.

Dave, you'll need to buy some hose and fittings. I converted my tank to 3/8" hose because the unit comes with 1/4" hose output. I used quick connect fittings also so unhooking hoses is a snap.

The generator comes with a connecting hose & regulator, similar to that used on propane gas grills. I don't know what connector is on 100# LP tanks, but the hose provided with this generator expects the same type of fitting found on 20# and 30# tanks... (I am using a 30# tank with the generator, as I have 2 spare 30# on the RV (~100# of propane, in easy to move cylinders...) My understanding is the 100# tanks are not required to have the newer style TYPE 1 OPD valve found on the 20# tanks used for BBQ's. Your 100# tank will liekly be POL or TYPE 1. If its POL (threads on the inside of the tank outlet, as oppiosed to threads on the OUTSIDE (TYPE 1) You need a converter like http://www.amazon.com/GrillPro-11051-Universal-Propane-Adaptor/dp/B0029T5U0A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1421791690&sr=8-3&keywords=100+pound+propane+tank

Use Maxitrol Pressure Regulator for Natural Gas, 3/4" FPT Gas Pipe In/out,1/2" PSI 3" -6 " WC. 52-1011 for natural gas. The orifice size is different for the two fuels.

We took the propane line off our old grill. A new hose and regulator can be be purchased at Home Depot to Lowe's. It did not come with one.

Hi Becky, not sure what size gas line is needed. I can tell you that we needed several parts in addition to the water heater. Overall very satisfied with it. Enjoy!

The supply line, is 3/8 . Line to the unit is 1/2. But it is Natural Gas. Not propane

Strictly speaking as an amateur: 3/4" pipe is fine for an average household fun. Be sure to use the gas-type pipe thread tape or liquid sealer, and check for leaks. Believe the unit comes with a standard 110VAC plug, and that is low amperage. Unit works like a champ and the Takagi folks I communicated with were very helpful. Be sure the exhaust vents properly so that you have no (odorless) CO accumulation!

I have 1/2" supply line in the house from the meter to the stove. I put a T at the stove and ran a 48" 1/2" corrogated gas line to a 1/2" ball valuve and then to the burner. I have all the BTU's that I need, It roars like a mini jet. It is large enough for resteraunt wak cooking! (Chinese cooking)

You do need to get the small regulators.With mine I use my regulators for the acetylene and oxygen tanks. The acetylene regulator will fit on propane tank.

This is the standard size. You can exchange this tank but you probably wil not get another one that has a built in gauge. Your best bet is to refill it at any propane refill station (many gas stations/uhaul locations offer this service)

Yes it comes with the regulator. If you want to use the 20 lb propane tank, you will need a longer fuel line and plugs to the included regulator as well.
