WEN TF1450 14500-Watt 120V/240V Tri-Fuel Generator, Transfer-Switch Ready with Electric Start and Wheel Kit - TF1450
Remember when your backup plan had a backup plan? Whether we're providing your home electricity during a crisis or charging your family's cellphones at the campgrounds, WEN has been reliably lighting up lives since 1951. Now, with the WEN 14500-Watt Tri Fuel Electric Start Generator, you’ll be able to pull power from three different sources. Simply select your preferred method – gasoline, propane, or natural gas – and power on. With 14500 surge and 11500 running watts on gasoline, 12500 surge and 10300 running watts on LPG, and 10500 surge and 8750 running watts on NG, it’s durable enough for the job site and reliable enough for home emergency backup. Electric start lets you power up your generator with the turn of a key, and includes a recoil starter as backup. Our packed panel features four three-prong 120V NEMA 5-20R outlets, a 120V/240V 30A NEMA L14-30R outlet, a 120V/240V 50A NEMA 14-50R outlet, and a standard 12V DC automotive outlet. The onboard data meter digitally displays voltage, frequency, total runtime, and session runtime to help keep tabs on maintenance intervals. Run your lights, TV, refrigerator, sump pump, power tools, or other essentials with ease. The wheel and handle kit makes transportation easier than ever, while the included six-foot LPG hose allows for immediate connection to propane tanks. Thanks to its 240V capability, powerful 500cc engine, and included NG quick-connect adapter, this generator is the perfect portable alternative to hefty and expensive standby units (NOTE: NG hose not included / sold separately, part no. TF1450X-1431). Simply connect the NEMA L14-30R or 14-50R outlet to your transfer switch for power when and where you need it. Fill the gas tank with up to 8.2 gallons of gasoline for a half-load runtime of up to 12 hours. Compatible with the WEN 56413 Generator Cover and the WEN GNA273 Magnetic Dipstick. And because it’s a WEN product, your generator comes backed by a three-year limited warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians, a stocked inventory of replacement parts, and a friendly customer helpline. Remember when you didn’t have to worry about the power going out? Remember WEN.
