No.

You want LPG not Natural Gas.

8, 12, 16 LPM are flow rates the heater will accommodate.

I see our Shurflo pumps delivery of 5.2LPM drops down to about 4 LPM at 60psi.

As these are very basic gas heaters, I can't see that flow being quick enough to start a 12 or 16 LPM gas heater.

There is a company selling these heaters and they only sell the 8 LPM.

6/8/12L is the amount of hot water it can produce. The heater in the link is a natural gas heater not LPG, so if you are planning on using propane you will not be able to use this heater.

Phone a gas safe engineer as technically only gas safe engineer should be maintaining and installing a gas heater .

Another windy i know had to get a certificate for installation for insurance purposes . Mike

yes it will run on lpg as I brought one and on the box it says natural gas but the instruction book says to run it on lpg. And had no problems at all with it as another wc down my street he got one as well and he had his for more than a year without any problems.

And I only paid £79.00 with free delivery and my mate paid £75.00 for his with free delivery.

Best Regards  ;D ;D
