Another from inside.

Here’s some of the exhaust vent outside.

Don’t know why pics are rotated.

Here’s the heater all finished! Really like it a lot.

Thanks for the feedback on the unit size! I found some silicone sealant at Ace Hardware for the vent pipe at the thimble.

So I’m getting things ready for the exhaust vent hook up and have the inside wall cut out already, before I do the outside wall I’m needing to make sure I have the sealant for the vent pipe and thimble joint. I have a tube of GE Advanced silicone that’s rated for 400 degrees, will that work or...

As far as for the sizing it’s a done deal....and I believe it’ll do just fine (125k). The shop is well insulated and my current kerosene at around 20k brings it up around 3 degrees an hour. The plan is to keep the shop at 55 degrees, then bump it up when out there.

Got it hung, now need to get it the venting done and gas hooked up.

Heater has arrived! Just need to get it hung and vented, going to have the gas company do the gas run.

Well the 125k is on order, more post to come when I get it. Since the distributor didn’t have the 150k in stock (they only had the 125k and 175k) I knew the 175k would’ve been too big so I went with the 125k so I didn’t have to order from somewhere else with the possibility of getting it...

Probably doesn’t matter for sizing, but you have a tube heater and I’m getting forced air.

This is what I don’t understand, a couple have said the two heaters are too large for my area, but when I do a search for btu requirements per region of the country etc.. I keep seeing 40-45 btu sq/ft. These two heaters put me 3 btu on the low end and 3 on the high. Now I understand insulation...

I do agree the 175 is too big, so my decision is between the 125k or the 150k. The 125k is 99,600 output, so approximately 38 btu sq/ft, 150k is 124,500 output, around 48 btu sq/ft. Really don’t want to be on the small side if and when the 16x10 garage door is opened. I thinking the 150 would...

Zmotorsports, did you sized yours to the 50x60x16 or the 50x40x16? If I’m reading this right you wanted that cushion for the RV bay, so more than likely sized it included that space if you needed to heat it.
