How can I fit a gas burner ( for bottle gas) to mains gas outlet?
Is there an adapter or regulator?

Why would you want to? You obviously are unaware of the consequences of doing so. Stop what you're doing, go outside and slam your head in a car door a few times until you feel the need not to carry out this stupid task.
 
Thank you very much all the enthusiastic replies,
:innocent: enthusiasticly negative.

But no one explained what the problem is!
Is it just a question of pressure?
Is it something else?
Would someone be so kind as to explain, please?
 
Natural gas and LPG have different calorific values and work at different pressures. So there will be many differences

Firstly the injector sizes will most get be different

Secondly the hoses may not be certified to work on natural gas

The appliance I doubt will have certification for natural gas

I'd say you'll most prob kill someone or yourself if you start playing with things. Call gas Safe register and ask their advice

What are you tryin to do ?

A leisure point, convert a portable heater to use natural gas? ? ? ?

A gas burner designed for LPG has different size injectors than for natural gas. LPG has more "energy" than natural gas and the injectors are therefore smaller. You should not carry out any gas work unless competent to do so. If you do then you are breaking the law and there are serious consequences.
Natural gas is lighter than air and disperses more easily than LPG which is heavier and congregates in low lying areas.
I would urge you not to tinker about with gas unless competent to do so. You don't get many second chances with gas.
 
Thank you so much for the good explanation.
Rest assured, I have no intention to tinker!

TBH nobody explained what the problem is cause nobody asked a good question, your post was vague and therefore rightly or wrongly it is assumed that you dont know what you are doing, so ask a proper informative question and i can guarantee you will get a proper informative answer, you might not like the answer, but go on gies a clue
 
I dont know why people even entertain clowns like this with an answer. A little knowledge is very dangerous and passing that on to someone who clearly doesnt have a clue but thinks they now know the answer is just asking for trouble.
 
i was asked as pm ,but decided not to give any answer as this may encourage any gas work !
