I took specs from the Propex on-line brochures and my Carver P4 manual and various on-line conversion sites and assembled the following, which might be of interest to anyone with a furnace or considering one. This page is also on-line at: http://jones.colorado.edu/jones/PropaneFacts.html For the curious, pictures of a Carver installation are at: http://www.sittser.com/P4Pictures.htm The Propex 1800 fits very similarly, I believe.
