Dry fit of system to get it up as the rain began to fall. It won't be quite this tall as the inner hot gas vent will be sitting lower once I connect it to the concentric adapter box attached to the ceiling of my shop...

Time to plumb the propane lines; of course under the ever watchful eye of the QC....

Winter's bite is taking hold - looking forward to some warmth out here (QC, Abbey, doesn't seem to care though [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] ). Propane providers are out tomorrow for a site survey. I decided to place my pipes outside of the internal wall for that industrial look (also easier to inspect and the code folks are happier about that too). I am planning on using a 125lb tank to be placed behind the garage which I figure should last approximately one winter season. Drilling thru the brick was tough and took over an hour with a good mortar bit (and lots of breaks). Note: portions of plumbing are dry fit (near flex hose). Next up will be electrical connections (power to the heater and thermostat) ....

Wired the thermostat. Appointment for this Friday to leak test the lines and install the 120 gal propane tank and fire it up!

Sam, Add another clamp on the pipe, Solid iron pipe gas
supply connection(s) shall be rigidly anchored within 6 inches of the supply connection(
s), just above the &quot;T&quot; would be perfect.

Great Heat install job, you will LOVE the separated combustion unit heater. I cheapped out on my install and did not spring for the extra efforts and you actually BURN heated air from the garage with conv combustion burners, waste, waste, waste.
