How to install a garage/shop heater. (Mounting, Venting, Wiring). 

Nice job on the video. I would seriously add a strain relief to the AC wire, or at least a non conductive bushing. Just good practice to keep insulated wires from chaffing on metal. Thanks for the video! I learned. :)

Nice heater perfect for my camping/hunting trips.

Excellent presentation, you took your time explaining every step of process and showing everything needed for installation. GREAT video, thank you.

I think I could do his with your very informative video. Thank you. Hope you folks do more videos. Refreshing to see DIY with no selling.

Dang y'all are some smart guys!!! So fun to watch and learn. Thanks.

Hi guys glad to see that you are doing videos. I love DIY stuff because you can learn so much from watching someone explain as they go. Awesome presentation guys!!! 👍❤😊

Great video…my heater has been sitting in the box so now I have some ideas of how to mount it!! Thanks for that.

Good job hope it keeps you warm and safe to do more projects thanks

David Spade of heating lol! Excellent video.

Great video/ thanks! Good audio, good lighting, easy to follow, thankyouverymuch.

Appreciate the video and insight!

Made it finally and following with bells on of course!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Hey just watch awesome keep up the good work

Hi guys. Looking forward to seeing some of your diy projects, I love your attention to detail. Would you consider taking requests for small projects around the house?

Thank you for the video. At 5:48 how do you know where the pilot holes are underneath to begin drilling through the vent? I hate videos where details are cutaway and it just magically cuts to everything just working. Just let the video roll. I want to see all the struggles and details.

Great tutorial video bruh!

hey boys ;) great job and great video ;) nice to have an diy channel ;)

Nice video bud!

Sub'ed!

Positive pressure horizontal venting requires category 3 stainless from the heater all the way to the cap. It needs to be airtight.

Lots of great details that I couldn't find in other videos! I loved the use of the drywall lift. Wiring and thermostat wiring were also very helpful! On my 30,000 btu Modine Hot Dawg, the vent needs a minimum of 12" straight pipe before the first elbow, so check the manual of your specific unit for the venting requirements.

I'm so confused with this horizontal venting.. My manual says 1/4" rise for every foot of pipe.. the key word is "rise"... upwards away from heater.. This vid shows downward slope "for condensation".. Whereas I thought it needed upward slope for carbon monoxide release.. But if it's an upward slope, wouldn't condensation travel back to the heater...or does it burn off..???

One thing to keep in mind. If you live in an area where you need to get a permit to install a heater you might have to use category III stainless steel vent pipe.

Great video!!! Thank you! Question: My heater is a 50,000 btu can I still use 3” pipe or do I have to use 4”?

❤great job my brother I totally understand all you explain I was just not sure of the space I should be leaving between the roof boards and the unit and does the red and white wires goes on any side of the thermostat?

Is the double wall only needed to go through the wall? The heat wont warp the single wall that is attached right off the exhaust? Thank you.

Do you have a video where you show the gas line being installed into the heater and propane tank?

Great vid thanks! DO you think it would be a problem to not have the outside exhaust not clear the soffit?

Hi there. Thanks so much for making this video!! I have this Hot Dog heater and I will be installing it within the next week or two and this video has made it is very, very easy for me to do now. But I do have a couple of questions so I'm hoping you can help me out. First, the pigtail cord. I tried finding that cord, but I don't know what gauge I'm supposed to get. When I try to find it, theres 12, 14 and 16 gauge cords coming up. Is it possible you could please send me a link for the proper cord that's used for the heater? Secondly, what kind of rain cap did you use for the outside vent? I can't seem to find that in a 3", do happen to have a link for that one also? Any help that you can give me I sure would appreciate. Thanks again for posting this video, look forward to hearing from you. 👍😃

Your double wall pipe is in natal led backwards

The previous homeowner installed the garage heater which is vented outside. Where the collar is to the outside I can see light looking to the outside around the edges of the collar. Should I seal that and with what?

My power in , in the heater box has a strange plug on it this 3 wires would one cut it off and wire it that way? Also have you ever wiring into the card ? Having a plug in on the board just like the thermostat plug in?

Your elbows are restricting flow from purge fan. 1st foot needs to be straight. Also horizontal flue is 4 inch category 3 flue nation wide!

I will angle my exhaust down a little bit also to keep water out. That is NOT how Modine recommends to do it. Something to do with air draft.😂

Good job except you should have put a cable guard on where the power cord entered the heater box.

I must know, does TKB on the back of your shirt stand for Takin Kare’a Business?

Hello. What thermostat did you use? I have the same heater and I'm thinking the Honeywell I have is not the correct one.

NICE details A+ i love how you used drywall lif to hoist unit in place fantastic 😄idea. Now venting..well in Ontario this venting would not really pass inspection. You have to much drop. It's ok to go 1/4" down but needs a condensate T before exiting out.. That aside It's been a year since you posted this video. So I'm curious if there is the any changes/deterioration to the venting? I'm curious how much that slope affects the proformanc. Thanks for the update 👍 Have a great weekend!

What’s up fromTX! Just subbed. Are we going to be able to submit requests for the channel?

Can I put the vent closer to the side of my building? I think it'll look better but I don't want a fire hazard

What model is the one you working on

very well done video, one question, have you noticed your tools getting rusty using a gas heater? i have heard heaters like this causes machinery to rust.

I have double wall type B pipe that is too big for the end of the inducer. Can I use a short piece of single wall to attach it, then attach that to my double wall?

I know the video is not new anymore but where did you land your green, red and white thermostat wires on the terminal block? Was it W for white, R for red and C for green? Thanks

hello, how did you connect these 3 wires to the thermostat?

Hello, didn't mention what kind of thermostat you are using, and how to wire that into the system.

What type of horizontal vent termination is that?

Glasses man!! You can’t grow them back😂

What is the purpose of the sheetrock above? Is it required?

Have you had any issues with the venting yet? I just did this with double wall type b and used an adjustable elbow to get the angle right, come to find out you're not allowed to use this type b vent anymore horizontally... seems kind of silly to me, since cat 3 is much more hot for terminating through a wall.

What about the gas service line?

This replaced an older wall unit that failed. ru-vid.comUgkxQDiHf0Cagl2e3YNPX-bWnDMXQAL2A2Y8 The grill on the front is nice, the old unit did not have one, just the glass. Much more kid/dog friendly. Best feature is the battery operated igniter..... old one had the plunger type, which was quirky. This one fires right up with just a touch of the button. Takes the chill off a room very quickly, seems to put out more heat that the one that was there, even though they were the same BTUs. Very impressed.... so much so I bought a second one to replace the other old one even though it still works!

The only downward slope should be within the thimble. What you have there is way too much.. Oh my..

45,000 BTU's, you guys will be toasty this winter

You say to slope down on the vent... the heater manual I read said to slope up minimum 1/4" per foot

Bro, is that a spade tat on your bicep?

How do you prevent the condensation coming back in to the heater if doing a ceiling vent?

why cut a 3" THEN a 5 1/2" hole. Lennox makes a 5 1/2" hole saw. Shouldn't the ceiling sprayfoam be sheetrocked ? I think it's flammable

I hate to be this person, but if anyone wants to install a Modine Hot Dawg heater up to actual code standards (following the requirements outlined in the IFGC codebook) - this video will not help you other than the mounting. 1. Horizontal venting of this unit requires Category III, UL listed SS dry-seal piping. You cannot use Type B unless it's for commercial/farm purposes. 2. Horizontal venting of this units requires a moisture trap, the location of this trap is dependent on the up/down slope of the piping run. Local code may allow condensate to drip from the venting if sloped down. 3. Any unit like this requires a fused switch or rated circuit breaker between the unit and the outlet. Still leaving a like for some of the other detailed information.

shouldnt you be using a double walled vent pipe?

My heater says use an uphill to vent. I’m using mr heater big max

Maybe that's fresh air coming in making it hot air blowing out maybe maybe not 🚫

The termination for your exhaust outside needs to be 2 feet away from that soffit, also you need to have a combustion air intake for that garage.

Watch out for carbon dioxide. No bullshit

Dude your flue should be pitched up not down. Ur unit is higher than your flue outlet

your vent pipe should never run down in any part of the system. Yours runs down at the furnace. Aluminum pipe is for your dryer. The pipe should not be mixed, your running aluminum, double wall, and single wall galvanized together.

Sorry, but your your wiring is not to code. Did you check the WC pressure to the manifold. Be safe.

Yeah what's the deal on the vet vet supposed to be going up too? Very not downgraved my damn dog barking in the background. Somebody must be here. Maybe it's the vent people

Flue gases rise. Your venting is going to kill someone.

So much crap wrong here, it’s embarrassing and a shame. From code violations to unsafe practices.

Very half assed

Your venting is not to code.

Do not use that silver tape on your duct connections. It's a hack job looks like shit and the glue melts off it's toxic then the tape is useless anyway. High temp caulk people. This is why You Tube is not always the best place to get instructions on installs. Some great DIY help on You Tube That silver tape is not one of them.

All wrong...venting is supposed be higher than unit so residual gas can escape vent that slopes up not down. Take this video down

I'm not sure where you live, but I highly recommend that everyone check the codes for their area. Where I live, it's a violation to install the outside rain cap in anything other than the vertical position, so you would need a 90 degree elbow to turn it upright. They do make caps for vertical use, but the one you have doesn't appear to be designed for it, and will likely not keep a heavy rain out, in that position. Also... I have never, EVER seen a code that allows a flue pipe of ANY kind to turn downward more than an inch or two below the point where it exits the heater. Even if it has an exhaust blower pushing the flue gas out. The manual for that heater even states that a vertical vent shouldn't slope downwards more than 1/4" per foot to allow for drainage of condensation away from the heater, and that's only if your local code allows it. And it needs a proper drain leg. (see page 10, section C7) www.modinehvac.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Hot-Dawg-Power-Vented.pdf The way you have it, that pipe will collect and hold condensation, and rot through the pipe before long. You're also using a section of aluminum Dryer vent pipe inside. That's a HUGE code violation and SUPER dangerous. It's not made for flue gas venting and will corrode and rot through even with a proper condensation drain. It needs to be galvanized metal flue pipe. I'm also really curious why you didn't just run it straight up through the roof instead. Not really any harder and it looks a hell of a lot nicer having it up top and out of the way of everything instead of sticking out of the wall like that. Might even use less pipe. Be safe out there, friends.
