Will this product support the on board generator and propane furnace? I have hooked this up and the flow rate isnt adequate

Hi, I don't know about the generator, it worked great for the furnace, stove and oven I have a 37' motor-home. I hooked it up between the main tank and the regulator turning the main tank off then turning on the secondary tank which is a 100' tank. Hope this helped you out.

I have had the same problem. It will not even support my refrigerator. I believe thf flow is inadequate, therefore the produce is defective.

If you regulate the gen first and then put the adapter in for the heater it should be fine, fed the gen first, it uses the propane much faster that the heater, hope this helps...:)

Really should have hit the "I don't know" button. I would assume that functionality would be dependent on what other demands are made on the generator at the same time. Asking a Generac engineer might be a better course of action. You may encounter situations similar to folks who vacation in RVs deal with where you need to turn off certain things to allow for running others. Hope I've helped

I would suggest checking your propane regulator for proper operation. Possibly test the LP gas pressure at the connection going to the water heater.

I can't answer this question as we used ours on a propane forced air furnace.

The Unit requires 15 amp electrical service. I suggest you contact the manufacturer giving them how you intend to supply the power needed to operate the unit. Whether your onboard generator has enough power output to satisfy--I don't know.When parked at a KOA or other parks that supply 110 power it should operate OK.

I had my propane company hook mine up. I highly recommend you do the same. I have a high pressure line from the tank to the regulator that goes to the house. The generator has its own regulator,so they tied into the high pressure line just before the regulator at the house, and installed a valve that was tamper proof. I then had them install a quick connector to the valve. I bought a 12 ft. high pressure hose for the generator and installed the other half of quick connect to it. It works great! Just so you know....... this kind of hookup will void your warranty.

yup, you have to get a hose, regulator and tank. Works much better with gas, tried it with flux core wire and was very hot and messy. Hobart makes a fixed flow regulator that I have and it seems to work well, just cant tell whats left in the tank.

Yes. I can only get mine to run on the high setting. Not sure what the BTU output is ? It starts out wide open then tapers off maybe to the low setting ?It will not function in any other setting. Thinking about tossing it before something bad happens.I also had to move the safety shutoff probe closer to the heat grid to get it to work at all.

It's currently configured to connect to a propane tank. I assume your house gas line is natural gas, but probably has the same connection. I say yes. You can always plumb it with the right fittings if not.

The flame is open to the atmosphere even though it is inside the metal housing and it could build up carbon monoxide. If installed where the previously existing gas water heater was, and the exhaust pipe is vented to the outside, it should be ok ... but check with your local authorities to be sure. I doubt this one will work on a gravity feed system. It takes pressure for the ignitor to light the burner, and even off of the well pump where I live I sometimes have to run the kicker or accessory pump to boost the pressure enough to keep the burners lit. I know that some appliances can be changed from natural gas to propane & vice-versa by changing the delivery ports and the regulators, but I don't think the company makes a crossover kit for this unit. There are On Demand Water Heaters on the market that are already natural gas however. Just my opinion ... I think by the time you buy and install everything you would need to make this unit work for you, it would be easier and probably less costly to buy one that is natural gas, will run on a gravity feed system and can be mounted where you need it to be mounted. PS: They do make the On Demands in electric models as well. Those may be installed indoors since there is no flame.

Sorry, I have not used my generator yet. My suggestion would be too contact Duramax . Hope you find what you need.

I use mine with the same size tank I use for my propane grill and it works fine. All propane tanks now have a flow restrictor that activates if you turn the valve on too fast.

I have Rinnai EX08CP Wall Mounted Direct Ventilation Furnace Propane...N it will run me out of my single wide trailer...Hope this helps.

Hi Jason, unfortunally I do not know your system - but you should have a look on your valves. The power they need should match to that controller.regards, Torsten

I would think so. Use a normal outboard fuel line - remove the motor connector from the hose. Devise a way to connect the motor end of the fuel line to the generator fuel tank and squeze the primer bulb to transfer fuel from the Moeller fuel tank to the generator fuel tank or the auto fuel tank. Once the fuel begins to flow the the vacuum will contine to feed the generator as it consumes fuel. Good Idea.

I would say not unless you run it through conduit or PVC. This is not as heavy as we use to use but it worked great for our lp gas lines which was above ground.

I don't know because I hooked it to a propane fire place. Try it and if doesn't work, return it.
