Complete Mr. Heater Install From Start To Finish

[@JamesSnyder-t1i]

Great Video!!!!-Is there a reason you ran the gas line on the exterior of the building rather than the inside???????

[@DIYWISCO]

That way I more freedom for storage like cabinets/tool storage etc without the pipe being in my way

[@raggamuffin3928]

Good video! Only question i have is: do you use pipe sealant on the union? I noticed you did not.

[@DIYWISCO]

No, you’re not supposed to use sealant on unions, they are designed to seal when the two surfaces meet all on their own

Love the video. My gargage is approximately 13x25 and has a large loft. What size do you recommend. I have heard 50k btu and 80k. It would be. I live in New York where winters are horrible but would like the option of working out in my garage and tinkering

[@DIYWISCO]

The 13x25 should be great with the 50k, my garage is 25x25 and it takes it from 20 degrees to 45 is about 45 min to an hour with little to no insulation while it is 10 degrees outside, just did that this morning to workout 😊

[@scottgreif8144]

Curious where you bought the vent pieces and what dis you ise for the power cord?

[@DIYWISCO]

Any appliance cord with a right angle like this one geni.us/L0b0WbR and I bought all my vent pieces and Menards

[@jl7kicks]

great video brother. how's it running so far?

[@DIYWISCO]

Thanks! It’s running perfectly so far!!

[@jl7kicks]

@ awesome man. Have you added anymore insulation?

[@DIYWISCO]

Not yet, I just added new light this weekend (that’s the next video) hopefully doing blow in insulation in the ceiling soon and some more batts in the walls

[@ZephOneal-n4q]

Did you use regular B vent to run venting or did use that cat 3 stuff

[@DIYWISCO]

I used regular b-vent the cat3 is almost more than the heater itself but cat3 is technically recommended for horizontal venting But a lot of people are still using it due to the cost

[@jtsarby]

What piece attached directly to the unit. The ones at Home Depot are the same size as the flue. I have a 90° type b but it will not go over the flue on the unit

[@DIYWISCO]

@jtsarby I used this piece Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing. www.homedepot.com/p/Selkirk-4-in-Steel-Male-Universal-Gas-Vent-Adapter-104081HD/300255816 I had to cut back the outer wall, just enough to get it to go over the flue pipe on the unit itself since the heaters exhaust vent doesn’t stick out very far.

@@DIYWISCO hey man, I jjts got my heater up and running and I also used the typ B for horizontal vent..The cat 3 stuff is way too expensive. You think if I tape all the joints I should be good, technically that’s why cat 3 is required because of the gasket that come with the kits.. they make this stuff too expensive ..

[@DIYWISCO]

Areas it is took expensive, I have heard that the B vent can rust out on the inside so every couple years I am going to take it apart and inspect it to make sure everything is still 💯, you’ll be good to go

[@samsquires2877]

The ribbed side of your power cord should almost always be the White/Neutral.

[@KennethTaromino]

i wish you had covered the thermostat

[@DIYWISCO]

Here you go, I did just didn’t include it in the compilation “Can You Run A WIFI Thermostat On A Garage Heater?” kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4KZpoacZr9-eaM

[@fredski53]

That vent pipe is expensive!

[@DIYWISCO]

Yes it is!
