I done some quick checking and there is no universal orifice kit. each stove and its burner orifices are unique to THAT stove. natural gas openings are smaller than a propane jet.

Question Not in the USA??

Sorry but I've never heard of STERLING nor of NEW WORLD DOMESTIC APPLIANCE and I have no idea what is required on your model to convert it. Did you check the owner's manual or installation instructions?

As HayZee518said, there is no such thing. If the burner orifices need to be changed for LP operation, you need to get the correct ones for the specific model. If it was designed with universal (ie. natural/LP) orifices, there should be instructions for conversion in the appliance's documentation. See if you can get ahold of it.
