Re: Big Maxx 50000 install ...UPDATE... I am finally finished. My son and I did the final install of the vent through the roof. It is raining today so I went into the attic and snapped some pics. I wanted to make sure I seen no leaks. All looks dry. https://flic.kr/s/aHsmxuxHSv

Mine is vertical, but maybe some of my pictures will help. https://flic.kr/s/aHsmxuxHSv https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=410096

I've got some insulation done and a little more vent done. I need a 2 foot section then turn to go up and out. I used R19 because I will still need access to that part of the attic and the garage will only be heated when in use. https://www.flickr.com/photos/42048178@N04/shares/09x82j

looks like condensation or a leak coming in from the exhaust vent. Either way I would be looking into replacing it.

That is a great idea and would have made things really nice.

Here is a crappy Google image of my house and here i was planning on having the vent come out. Does it look like there would be any problems with anything? I need to run the vent approx 8 feet on an angle up about 8 feet towards the ridge. [/IMG]

Installed some of the venting. It is installed to just were it enters the attic. https://www.flickr.com/photos/42048178@N04/shares/407oQB Here is all photos in one click. https://www.flickr.com/photos/42048178@N04/shares/S6W79U

Looks like I'm going 4 inch. Of course after I went and bought 3 inch stuff now I have to exchange it. https://flic.kr/p/2cVfJeL

I cant seem to find out how the fire stop is properly installed. Do you cut out the drywall the full size or just the diameter plus the 1 inch air space. And what is up and what is down. American Metal Products 3 in. Firestop Support...

What would be better 3 or 4 inch B vent.

I installed the proper Utah sediment trap and installed my thermostat. I also pulled it out from the wall from 18 inches to 23 inches. https://www.flickr.com/photos/42048178@N04/shares/X9586V

I really want to, really bad. I am just so worried about making my roof leak.

After doing some reading, I will be adding the correct sediment trap up on top near the heater shut off valve. Parts are only 10 dollars.

I believe, you only need it for vertical pipe. Which I do have, it's in the pic with the drywall and concrete. You can see its slightly wet from the leak detector stuff. You can see it in these pics. https://www.flickr.com/photos/42048178@N04/shares/od60WX
