Default Oil furnace converted to natural gas
First time I ever saw this before. An oil burning furnace converted to use natural gas. Never knew it was even possible.
Question is, has anyone ever seen this before?

It's called a gas gun conversion. I had one done about 20 years ago.

Not only saw it--I have converted quite a bunch over the years (70's-80's). Very common then.

Yep...I see a few of them here and there. Oldies but hardly any issues.

Quiet too.

Just a question: (I know they are quite safe and have lasted)

Would an AHJ allow these conversions today if not dually certified as newer Weil-McLean and Teledyne units have been?
