I have a 20x20x9 garage fully insulated with one shared wall to the house. Insulated garage door also. I just recently installed a 30K BTU Beacon Morris Natural Gas Heater. It is plenty for the space. Seeing how little it runs now, if available, I could have installed a smaller one. Granted...

For my installation of the 30K unit with the concentric vent, I needed an "equivalent" length of 5'. In the manual for the 30K unit it tells you the "equivalent" length of a 45 deg elbow (2.5') and a 90 deg elbow (5'). So for me I have a 45 deg elbow and then a 3' straight section for an...

I will be installing a similar heater in the next month or so also. I plan on using the concentric venting kit. Jay I have seen from your posts that you installed a 30K BTU unit. I am debating a 30 or a 45. What is the sqft of your garage? Do you feel the 30K is sufficient to keep it warm? I...
