Pics: final Big Maxx heater install

[Scott]

Here are a couple of pictures of my final Big Maxx install. I had to go to a few hardware stores to find the correct flue pipe and through wall thimble. I also replaced my romex hookup cord with the correct appliance cord to make code. I also put on a new decal the right side up. :thumbup:

The heater seems to work great!

Nice job

Looks great :thumbup: ....But what the hell are you putting in that garage that would require Howitzer sticking out of its' walls :headscrat

Gotta keep the neighbors in check!

Finished the install last Saturday of my Big Max 45,000. It's nice and quite and took my little garage from 40° to 70° in about a half hour or so.
I'm happy, now I got to get going on putting my car back together.

Mine is still sitting in the box, I either need to farm the job out or get some days off.

I just finished installing mine, looks identical but it was "beacon moris brand", I have seen the same furnace with another name on them too !

I find it a little noisy, how is yours ? seems like a a lot of vibration when the fan kicks in. more than I like

[Scott]

Mine is pretty quiet, the exhaust fan makes some noise at times, I need to pull the cover off and make sure everything is tight on the fan.

Check yours for a loose access panel if it makes any noise. My unit is so quiet, you could stand next to it and talk on the phone without any noticable noise. I was actually very surprised at how quiet these units are.

Well, I couldn't take it anymore! I've got a HVAC guy coming over in the morning after I get off work. "Here put this in, I'm taking a nap.... :rocker: "

Yeah, I feel like a sell out but sometimes I get short on time so I support the local economy. The bottom line is I'll have heat in the shop and that's all that matters, right?

[Scott]

Caution, you will be spoiled once you have a heated shop! I am loving mine!

I am going to do a similar install. How far must the vent stack extend from the outside wall on the horizontal vent?

[Goobzilla]

About this far :)

Seriously,

The installation manual says between 3 & 5 feet total length for the vent line, but I can't remember if it mentioned minimum distance from the wall.

[Scott]

12in from the wall minimum, not including the cap.
