    Big Maxx 50k, converted to LP, but not enough flow

    A tank that large was beyond my budget for this heater to be honest. As mentioned above, I was able to adjust the regulator and valve to now get the desired flow. I will take the advice of switching to a different regulator so that they can both be ran together vs the switchover like I have now...

    Big Maxx 50k, converted to LP, but not enough flow

    Ok, cancel all of this. What it boils down to is my HVAC guy is a turd. He said he had to basically bottom out the screw on the valve to get 9", which according to my meter is actually ~8.655". I measured the regulator at the tanks and it was flowing ~10". Minimum tank inlet pressure is 13", so...

    Big Maxx 50k, converted to LP, but not enough flow

    I have (2) 100lb tanks. I just measures the lines and it is ~20ft of 1/2". I can't link to the regulator since my post count is low, but it is the Marshall Excelsior MEGR-253H Excela-Flo Auto Change Regulator, 2 stage auto-switching.

    Well I decided to buy a cheap manometer so I wouldn't have to bring the HVAC guy back out. I took the adjusting cap off my regulator on the tank, rotated the spring clockwise until it bottomed out. That didn't increase anything, so I backed it back out to its factory setting. I am reading...

    Big Maxx 50k, converted to LP, but not enough flow

    I haven't tested it myself at the regulator, though specs on the manufacturer's site says it is set to 11" WC. There does appear to be an adjustment screw on it which I just noticed yesterday after posting this. I ordered a manometer that should be here tomorrow so I will know for sure. There...

    Big Maxx 50k, converted to LP, but not enough flow

    I got my Mr Heater Big Maxx 50k heater installed and had an HVAC installer come out and verify my NG to LP conversion and make sure it was getting the proper flow through the valve. I believe he said for LP, we were looking for ~10.5" WC. However, with the adjustment screw maxed out, he was only...
