Thanks for the replies.

Just finished the installation of a Beacon Morris 45000 BTU garage heater. I had the unit vented by an HVAC installer using a concentric vent kit. I noticed on the intake side the b-vent pipe connection joints were not wrapped with 3M tape. They are properly screwed together but not taped...

I e-mailed Beacon Morris Tech support again and they said Type B-Vent can be used for vertical roof termination if not doing a separated combustion installation. At this point it is a Category I type of installation. They said the change in code requires horizontal wall or vertical roof...

Thanks everyone for the input. I got a reply back from Beacon Morris tech support and said if 2 pipes were used for separated combustion it would void the manufacturers warranty. I told the HVAC installer what they said and he is ok using my concentric vent kit, but is still questioning why on...

I e-mailed tech support and am waiting for their response. Contacted another company in the are and they said they would not due it because of liability reasons. The wife is just furious because she doesn't want me on the roof trying to "cut in the vent". The company I got the concentric vent...

Thanks for the replies. Going through the wall is not an option for this installation; my only exit is vertical through the roof. Just to clarify, is it OK to use two separate b vent pipes (one for air intake and one for flue exhaust) on a separate combustion setup if the intake and the...

I had a Heating and A/C guy stop by yesterday to give me a quote on finishing an install on a Beacon Morris 45K BTU garage heater. The heater is hung, thermostat wiring ran, electrical finished. Only need to run the venting and the gas connection. The HVAC guy looked at the project and the...

Never mind, found the answer

Have a Beacon Morris 45K BTU heater that I just received the backordered concentric vent kit from Little Greenhouse. I also ordered the vertical vent kit for through the roof exit. The kit came with UL 1738 SS Duravent pipe. The Duravent doesn't seem to be available in my area, but Safe-T...

I finally sent a e-mail to Beacon Morris tech support and they responded within 20 minutes. The L-1 group was to be attached to the hot (black) wire coming from the cutoff switch and the L-2 group was to be connected to the neutral (white) wire. The concentric vent kit I ordered from...

Hey Guys - Did some more wiring on the heater since the last post, so I think my wiring to the shutoff switch is correct. I still am not sure about hooking up the hot and neutral wires to the heater itself. As I said, I'm not an electrician and the wiring diagram is like looking at a foreign...

Just saw where Menard's is doing the 11% Rebate again this week thru Feb. 18th. Guess this is a good time to buy the vent pipe and lessen the sting a little. I do have a question on wiring the 45K Beacon Morris. I'm no electrician so bear with me. I plan on mounting the cutoff switch on the...

Thanks guys for all the info - really appreciate it. I know going the separated combustion route is going to get into my wallet, but for piece of mind and a few other minor benefits I feel better going this route. Now just waiting for the concentric vent box to get off back order; then I can...

Thanks again everyone for the replies. Hey Onewheat - your ceiling is a lot higher than mine. I was a little over 8 feet so I was able to fab up box to sit the heater on in my front loader on the tractor and lift it up. There was a lot of bucket maneuvering and up & down on the ladder, but I...

Toyotadriver - Appreciate the feedback and believe me I know money doesn't grow on trees; especially when you're retired. Thought long and hard about it, but just felt better this way.
