garage heater

[jpa6969]

I just installed a big max mr heater garage heater 50000 btu's I dont want to install Thimble, because there is new siding can I simply put pipe through to vent and leave vent pipe away from vinyl siding

The vinyl will melt if there isn’t clearance to the pipe. You will also get rain behind the siding, so the answer seems to be... no.

even if I put white fire silicone around outside of vent pipe

do they make wall thimble that pull apart

We used a 2 piece thimble, cut hole, and outside slides in to meet the inside piece. Silicone used to seal the edges.

I hate to be that guy, but you should contact a professional so you don't burn down your garage.

I'd like to say as politely as possible that if you don't know if two piece wall thimbles are available, there will certainly be other questions you won't know to ask that have potential to burn your building down, or poison you with CO emissions.

I wish you the best of luck with getting your heater going.
