I don't know for sure, but I doubt it because the HH is made to work with high tank pressure. The natural gas pressure would be too low. (Can you get bottled NG?)

No, Hothead torch requires 60-80 psi minimum propane/gas pressure to operate. Natural gas pressures range from 1/4 psi to maybe 10 psi in gas main (out in street) and does not have enough pressure to "fire" torch....

IF you want to use natural gas as a torch fuel, you need to consider a fuel/oxygen torch similar to a Minor or Bobcat or National 8m or one of the many others available....
