The Generac Standby Generator does not include any cable as it is not a pre wired transfer switch. A weather proof breaker panel is not available for this unit.

Answers

The manufacturer(Genreac) does not recommend regulator size for propane or natural gas. The size would need to be determined by your gas company based on fuel consumption, distance traveled, and BTU rating. A spec sheet for these can be found at the manufacturer's web site.

This generator does not have any outlets on it. Because this is an automatic standby generator it is made to be hard wired to the building that it is powering through a transfer switch. Once this unit has been wired it does have the ability to provide 220 Volt current.

You can use the 50 amp transfer switch with your 100 amp panel. You will need to install a 50 amp breaker and run 2 leads to the transfer switch.

I'm "guessing" that your use of the term adapt means "be able to tie into".
The Transfer Switches act as a "sub-panel" and sub-panels can be fed off most any main panel. (I only use the term "most" because the tranfer switch HAS TO be rated for the environment it is to be installed in, which can range from oustside in the rain to a hazardous location) Main Fuse Panels must have provisions to power the sub panel.
The switch is normally intended for indoor use and has no problem being tied to the average main panel providing space is available. A "standard" installation.
A "custom" installation would be one where the transfer switch has to be located at a distance which exceeds the lengths of the equipment provided.
Even a "filled to capacity" main panel can be used because the circuits you deem as "critical circuits", to be protected by the generator, will be relocated to the Transfer Switch. This is good because you need to "free up" two spaces side-by-side for the Double Pole Breaker which will provide power to the transfer switch under "NORMAL POWER" while also providing the "sensing" voltage to the generator. This breaker is normally not included with your generator package and should not be larger than the breaker protecting the generator itself. (If the transfer switch is not part of a packge then it should not exceed the rating of the transfer switch which should be less than that of the buss.) This is for safety.
The majority of people hire qualified electricians to install the transfer switch and for good reason. There are a lot of "LIVE" parts in any electrical panel which must be avoided while you make a hole to tie the tranfer switch in through and then weave the wiring in through. Then there are sometimes existing conditions that can create a hazard. (like a loose connection, a nicked wire, a faulty electrical device or an item that just doesn't belong in there like water, a mouse or a metal object left sitting)
So the simple answer is yes. I haven't found an installation that I couldn't tie a transfer switch into.
The complicated answer is, I have had a run for my money on a few occasions. No two installations have been alike.

Clear instructions The generator manual is very clear. Installation is easy. The only drawback is the manual is on a CD. Need a computer to view. Not very handy when the generator location is remote. April 23, 2013

A Handy thing to have in Buffalo Having lived in Buffalo for about 5 years now, one of my wife's requirements was to have a generator. Looking back, it is one of the best things we could have had installed. Our sump pumps run fairly regularly and this generator has kept them running (along with the TV for football games) without a hitch. Great product, I gave it 4 stars solely because I wish they made it easier to purchase parts locally. Usually if you want Generac parts, you need to get them online and if you want something local, you have to do the cross-reference work. But aside form that, it runs great. October 15, 2012

Alreview This Generac standby generator is awesome and provides even more than I had expected. I can now power my home in the event of a electrical outage and no longer have to lug a rolling generator in the snow, etc. to attain the comforts of home. Though there existed a back order status for this item, I was kept up to date and informed as to the status of my order and did recieve the item in an orderly fashion as soon as it was possibly available.....Thanx........AL H.
