I want to convert a Procom QN300TYLA natural gas stove/heater to propane. What parts are need to be changed and where can I get them? Also, I would like add a blower and remote control to control the temp and blower? Who is selling that? Have any idea what the average retail price was on it? Thank you, James Gribble, Rogers Arkansas
Re: I want to convert a Procom QN300TYLA natural gas...
You can't. You need an LP gas valve which costs almost as much as a new unit. Pressures are different and orifices need to be changed, the the pressure needs to be reset. Just buy a new unit and be safe.

Found the manual on line and copied directly from it:

This should answer your question.
See if you can run the gas line or find someone to do it cheaper for you.
you need to find a place that makes your type of heater and they will have a change over kit all it is different orfices and jetcovers for each gas jet from your heater its self explanitory once you see the parts,sometimes there are different gas comp. that if you use there service they will change you over at no or little cost. hope this helps
the fuel to air mixture is set incorrectlty or your pressure at the ouitlet for the gas valve is too low.
you culd play around adjusting the first part of this but for the gas valve part you have to have a manaometer to check it out correctly. then it should be set at 10"wc. Good Luck
You need to first get a regulator which will go between the propane tank and the burner. You will need to know the burner capacity in BTU/HR and the pressure required. All of this can be found on the furnace specification plate or on the gas valve. It is a no brainer Circut!
I have a similar problem. But, I want to convert it to propane. I have a 5 burner vent free modelMN300HPA. If your are handy. I would consider shipping you the parts inside mine to install in yours. These parts are very simple to remove after removing the access panels. I have taken mine out already. Called procom then to no less find out the propane parts needed are not sold by them. I think only the injectors (5) the main valve (regulator) and the pilot are the only things need to change. When taking out the pilot this is easly done, By removing the nut on the supply line. And then bending back the retaining tabs to then slide back the pilot then it comes out of the assembly bracket. Injectors are simply removed. Regulator located at the bottom is a simple remove. The only other item that might be questionable would be the valve that selects the amount of burners you would like to operate. And I would think this would be the same and not need removing. Let me know if I can help. I would like to get mine converted to propane. Thanks Tom
I needed parts for my GE XL44 propane converted stove. This site was very helpful. I found the part and there is online live help or toll free help. Go to: AppliancePartsPros.com
