I am having the exact same issue. It seems like the cylinders are not actuating the safety latch far enough. If I apply pressure to the arm after the cylinder is fully extended, I am able to get the safety arm to clear the ladder. Has anyone else ran into this? Any suggestions on what to...

I have not had any problems with mine. Still works good!

Yes, I used plenty of roofing sealant under the entire perimeter of the roof flashing. I've inspected the underside of the roof sheathing and the outside of vent pipe in the attic and never found any indications of leaking.

Wait a second...with the exception of the ground joint location, this is the configuration I have.

The switch is 38" off the floor, directly below the unit. The heater is the only thing on the switched circuit.

The only reason I vented vertical is my own concern with safety. If the power vent ever failed, the fumes would still exit. Not that I have any experience with this ever happening.

Thanks brewchief. I'll defiantly do that. At least on top of the collar. Not sure if I can get the collar to slide up to run a bead underneath. The more I think about it, we've had some pretty hard rain and I was watching closely for leaks and I didn't see anything. The water on the floor...

Ugh! Wish I would have known that sooner! Looks like I have some more work to do. Thanks CNGSaves.

So, we're getting some rain and I notice water on the floor under the vent. No sign of water in the attic on the outside of the pipe. It looks like the water is between the inside and outside pipe. I thought I used the correct roof flashing, storm collar and cap. Thoughts?

You're right! Went back last night and got a $53 in store credit!

Wish I hadn't bought mine at menards a month ago!

I considered horizontal venting, but ended up going vertical.

Thanks. Double wall was used. I can't believe anyone would consider anything else!

It's not actually hooked up right now. I didn't mention the arrows in the photo that indicated where I was considering grounding. Just put a ring terminal on the bare copper wire and tie into the existing grounds?

Hello all. Long time lurker, first time post. Lots of inspiration on this board! In the process of installing a 75,000 BTU heater that I purchased at Menards a couple weeks ago. I'm not exactly sure what to do with the wiring inside the unit as far as grounding. The circuit I am tying into...
