Hi, I have a bit of a problem. I've been insulating my shop a little bit at a time. I'm almost ready to install the vapor barrier but there is a slight problem. There has been a cold snap during the past few days and I used the gas heater to heat the shop while I was working on different...

Hi, I have a bit of a problem. I've been insulating my shop a little bit at a time. I'm almost ready to install the vapor barrier but there is a slight problem. There has been a cold snap during the past few days and I used the gas heater to heat the shop while I was working on different...

I reread my post, I wasn't very specific on a couple of things. We have a bell expressvu dish on the house and have a tv package, nothing on the garage.

My next project is to hook up a flat screen to my existing Bell Expressvu into the garage. The shop is detached. What I would like to know is, Can I use a different dish for the shop other than a Bell dish. I have an Xplornet dish mounted on the house that we don't use anymore. It was used...

I'm pretty sure its ok to hide the pipes in the wall and attic, but what I was asking about was the initial penetration through the outside wall (siding). I was going to use spray foam and then secure it on the inside to a wall stud, just wondering if there was anything else I missed. Like...

So I made an agreement with my gas guy. I would mount the heater unit to the ceiling (done), and I would install the piping to the unit from the pipe sitting outside the shop. He will connect the piping to the gas meter at the house, electrical, t-stat and the venting. I am debating whether...

Forgot to mention gas water heater and gas range in the house as far as loads are concerned. Thanks

"A couple of questions for you... The existing 1 in line buried or run along building walls above ground? The new line on the building interior or outside the building? Any further gas load besides what you have mentioned? The proposed piping instal has many variables/code requirements and I am...

The one inch line coming from house/meter is buried. it runs right to the outside shop wall and sticks out of the ground about a foot high. I need to elbow it into the shop at that point. The diagram shows where it continues from there or at least how I would like for it to be. I want to run...

I've attached a diagram of what I want to do with it. I'm not sure about all of the required distances and code. I'll check with the links you guys sent. Thanks. The 1 inch line running to the detached garage was roughed in when we built the house 5 years ago, it is approximately 25-30 feet...

Is there a link for the tables somewhere?

Yes, South Western Ontario, around London. So 3/4 steel will do it then? Is there a spec sheet online somewhere? Thanks for the info! Are you also located in Ontario? Also wondering about the thermostat I mentioned.

I found this from the gas supplier's website. Note: Union Gas delivery pressure is minimum 7” WC so use the appropriate chart 7” to 14” with a 1” WC pressure drop for low pressure systems. And it is natural gas, forgot to mention that.

Hi everyone, this is my first post here on GJ. I've enjoyed reading some of your posts and checking out some garage pics, some pretty cool shops on here, and some even inspiring. I am currently setting up a 45,000 BTU Mr. Heater in my garage and I have a question about pipe size. The service...
