I spoke with Hart and Cooley, the company that makes the B vent that supplyhouse.com sells, and they told me what I can use, which is just a piece of single wall adapter from home depot.

Does anybody know what kind of adapter is needed to go from the B vent to the Modine terminal cap? Also, Anybody know what is the best way or product to seal between the vinyl and the pipe? Thanks.

The ceiling is 5/8 firecode x. I decided to do the same on the walls. The sheets are a touch cheaper than 1/2 inch mold resistant and I am going with the idea that they will be more durable. So, I will remove the one sheet of 1/2 inch mold resistant and proceed with 5/8 x code for the whole...

I am now unsure of the sheetrock. I put up one sheet of 1/2 so far, so I can stop and change. But, I see quite a mix of people using 1/2 and others 5/8. This is a detached garage. The 1/2 that I bought was the mold resistant green board. It looks like 5/8 firecode x is essentially the same...

Thanks guys. I can't see how it would be cheaper for someone to do this rather than myself. But, I am certainly willing to pick up the phone and make a call or two. At the moment, I have to do the corner that I hung the heater in. So, I will get the r21 at home depot for that. Thanks.

I have 2x6 construction. A modine propane hot dawg is on the ceiling. The ceiling is r30 batts with 5/8 sheetrock. I believe the walls will be 1/2 inch sheetrock. But, what R value should I chose? I am looking at getting the insulation from home depot. This is a detached garage that is...

Well..... I was wrong on that. From the siding to the end of the gutter is 17 inches. Soffit is about 5 inches closer than that. So, I guess I now need any wordage about soffit specifically. The b-vent has a 1 inch clearance requirement, according to the manufacturer.

The b-vent has to terminate a minimum of 15 total inches from where it exits the building. See the pic below. I am not sure how many inches the soffit overhangs. I will find out. But, it is definitely less than 15 inches. So, the vent exit will certainly be beyond the soffit. I will...

Thank you to all. I have Hart and Cooley B vent and they say it needs to be one inch away from combustibles.

The manual calls for B vent when using the concentric vent kit. I am using the Modine concentric box on the inside. B vent is definitely required for this. The outside will have a 6 inch single wall pipe and within that pipe, the B vent will run as well...

I am not worried about extending the pipe out beyond the soffit. I was wondering if there was a distance it had to be from the soffit. I am using a concentric vent setup. So, the 4 inch b vent will be inside a 6 inch pipe. I will have about 3 1/2 inches from top of the pipe to the soffit.

I will look at the document closer when I get back home, but I do not think it even mentions soffits. But, I am not talking about how far out beyond the soffit, I am talking how far below the soffit can the B vent run.

I have the heater hung to the sheetrock and a 1/4 inch per foot down pitch for the interior pipes. This puts the concentric box at a height where the exterior pipe will come out a few inches below the overhanging soffit. Is there a required distance from the top of the exterior pipe to the...

Hey guys, I can use some help on deciding which elbows to use to attach the pipes. They make a galvanized and an aluminum. I will link them. I have 4 inch b vent going through the box and then and adapter that allows regular 4 inch pipe to attach to the 4 inch b vent on the inside wall. But...
