Propane and natural-gas valves are different. Can't use different fuel than what it calls for.I need a replacement gas valve for my heater. I believe the part number is FDXLGSV0001. It costs about $300. I also found online a LP to natural gas conversion kit FDXLGCK1150PN for the heater that sells for less than $200 and appears to come with the valve, new outlet pipe and orifices. Anyone bought this kit or know if it is the correct valve?
thanks for the reply. my question isnt about different fuels. Im using natural gas and im not changing. this kit just seems to come with the same valve at almost half the price. or am i wrong?Propane and natural-gas valves are different. Can't use different fuel than what it calls for.
Same valve without Hayward's name on it:
Be sure the gasket on the supply pipe that you will have to swap is good and sealed well.
I misread what you were asking.thanks for the reply. my question isnt about different fuels. Im using natural gas and im not changing. this kit just seems to come with the same valve at almost half the price. or am i wrong?
sorry if I didnt mention it. I do have the h150fdnI misread what you were asking.
What size heater do you have? That kit is for a 150 and the valve is too small. The valve on this kit will handle up to a 400. Its OK to put it on a smaller heater.
FDXLGCK1400PN.
Then I would go with the kit you referenced. Much easier repair and all new valve, manifold, orifices. Don't know how Hayward can do it that way, but don't ask, they may raise the price.sorry if I didnt mention it. I do have the h150fdn
