I don’t know anything about this things, but is it safe, having the gas hook-up right behind the gas? My thinking: Seems like there could be a chance for a spark coming in close approximation to the gas? Please help me. Thanks.
@@human_brianhow do you know the ignition source isn't 10 away in this video? The generator is in front of wood siding, while the NG connector is in front of white, concrete looking, foundation material. Where is your evidence he is in code violation?
Where can I see ur breaker panel? How long can this last? If power goes off a month, am I good bc my home is a tiny home. No washer, water heater is propane. Biggest pull, apartment size Frigidaire Refrigerator. I rarely run a 5000 but small ac. Most lamps are USB ran bulbs. If you answer, Thank you, I need this on hot days. Tennessee has been wout rain until last week. Many days over 90. I thank you, tons!
One of our DuroMax Inverter Generators would be an excellent choice. In addition to being more quiet, and fuel efficient we imagine it would be perfect.
So where did you fill the gas???? or can you hook up a seperate natural or other type tank to hold the fuel???? im not sure how this is done. What was the cost of the generator???
The fuel tank is up on top of the unit, then the natural gas line accepts it from your municipal meter. The XP13000HXT Tri Fuel Generator retails for $2499
Not sure about your area but where I live you can't have any generator within 15' of any door or window. Where I wanted mine was too close to the bathroom window. Inspector made us replace the double hung window with a solid frame window. That cost $400.
@@potterytool7444my thoughts exactly. In a grid down situation, IDGAF about codes. I'm going to do what's necessary to protect my family. If we ever get the cash to install a permanent Generac type of backup, then we'll observe code regulations, but with a portable? It goes where I put it.
I have a Harbor Freight Predator 9000 with a NG conversation kit installed. It is setup exactly like in the video, but it will not run my drier, or my AC unit. I've read that if I ground the generator, it will work more efficiently. So I need to try that step next time I bring it out. I've had it about 3 years and I haven't even ran thru the break-in hours yet. Also, I run it NG only. I've never put gasoline in it.
Generlink only goes up to 9600w, wouldn’t work in this guy’s application. However, I didn’t know about these until I read your comment. Really cool device!
@@Seabass1206It does matter. Do you have a 1/2 lb or 2psi gas pressure? Is the generator itself reducing the pressure correctly through the gas valve?
Idk, I see more and more of these videos where DIY'ers are making gas connections, 50 amp inlet box setups that they built from Home Depot, and I guess more power to you (pun intended), but man, if you get ONE thing wrong you can kill yourself and all the people you love in the blink of an eye. I guess the safest thing to do is to contact your gas utility and your power company when doing these upgrades, which I admire, and make sure they are done correctly and if you have to permit and get inspected, do so. Risking your life is not worth the permit fee and inspection. Stay safe everyone.
For the people that don’t have the money to have a box like this, put on the outside of their house if you turn off the main breaker coming into the house and into the panel, you will not back feed into the powerlines so therefore you can plug your generator into your either dryer receptacle plug or if you have an electric stove, you can plug it into that outlet. Just make sure the breaker on the top of your breaker panel is shut off otherwise you’re endangering thousands of lives if you don’t.
That’s what the transfer-switch setup is for. I had one installed for my generator. No - you never want to put power onto the MAIN power company network. That can hurt or kill a lineman. The transfer switch safely allows one to run the power from your generator into your home so power never goes onto the MAINS.

Manual itself says to set it up 10-20 ft from any dwelling. Does duromax not even follow its own guidance?

Yes many installations are permitted for this. Every municipalities varies so please confirm with your local code.
Definitely not safe unless if it suitable with enclosures and the right equipment but yeah for what he has not safe
@@FrostBiteBloodWhat's not safe?
@@DuroMaxPower My municipality says 10 ft. from fuel to any ignition source, so this would be a code violation.

Code will vary by location but can range from 5-20 feet. Always better to go safer and further away.
I just got mine in the basement... Lol
It’s a portable generator who’s going to monitor how close it is to a house.., lol

Tri fuel conversation kits?
We do not sell conversion kits. Please note that any alternations to the unit will void the warranty.
I ran pretty much everything in my house using gasoline. Will natural gas run the same load?
Depending on the Generator size and load, it is definitely capable of doing so.

No. Natural gas will do about 60% (+/-) of what gasoline will do. Not as much energy per BTu.
You don’t need to install a regulator from the supply to the generator?
You need a regulator and a lock on that valve. This is a very danderous setup hes showing you.
Regulator is on the Generator side.
Most These tri fuel generators have regs already
I was wondering the same thing . . . I don’t know of any piece of equipment that doesn’t use a regulator in the NG setup
@@DuroMaxPowerreally? Ok, that’s pretty cool. Is it bypassed when using LP?
It it good sine wave
It will work with your home, no problem at all.

@@DuroMaxPower what about the gas line with disconnects on both ends?
What gauge whip did you use?
For 50 Amps, 6/3 should be used.
Buy a GenerLink and don’t go through the hassle of rewiring your home and having holes drilled through it.
Generlink only goes up to 9600w, wouldn’t work in this guy’s application. However, I didn’t know about these until I read your comment. Really cool device!
Does not work in every situation as well as not being code compliant in every jurisdiction.
@devonknapp20 Everybody doesn't have generlink cheese.
He's fine
Always a good setup
You fool! You put the electrical hook near the gas meter! And, Where is the regulator for the natural gas???
the gas doesent need to be regulated if the generator is running at the same pressure that the home is on
@@Seabass1206It does matter. Do you have a 1/2 lb or 2psi gas pressure? Is the generator itself reducing the pressure correctly through the gas valve?
DuroMax Tri Fuel Generators have a built-in regulator for Propane and NG. They do not require an external regulator for NG.
That's uncalled for man
I’m glad the actual manufacturer chimed in here. Good to see the Gen set regulated the natural gas pressure.

We always recommend using licensed professionals for any electrical or plumbing work.

That is against code and is not recommended.
Good luck
Thanks!
Please check with your local power company before you do this!!! 🛑 🛑
This is illegal in some states because it
energizes downed powerline😮😮😮
That is why an Interlock must be used. We greatly stress the importance of protecting our utility and linemen.
