When you say "never seen a T" are you referring to a condensate T or are you referring to what I have going on ?

yes it basically says i can have 4 or 5 elbows with the length i am running... only part i get thrown off on is after having the rise with the 90 that i do - do i still carry on with the 1/4" rise per foot on the straight section out the garage wall or am i able to slope those so condensate runs...

I understand turning then running straight back but it was a mix of space constraint, readily unavailable 45 degree elbows, and where it would come out the wall. If I absolute have problems I can do it this way and just preorder the 45 and wait. I understand this is NOT the best way to do this...

Thanks folks! ! this place has some awesome people! im up in Upper Michigan (Yooper) so it does get cold and im sure there will be condensate so im going to try and put a little bit a slope on it... there is right now so when i fix the gap between the thimble and pipe i hope i can keep it...

oh dang, wasn't trying to be offensive or seem arrogant of anything... was just wondering about this because my friend who works for a small plumbing company helped me put this in and im starting to feel kind of uneasy about it (with good reason i guess). Im going to be putting a Smoke/CO...

i guess im wondering since i have that steep rise from the 90s - if i was to put the rest of the piping - the horizontal piping at a slight slope... would that keep condensate out and still let the hot flu gases rise (because of the 90 degree angle pipes?) sorry if that is confusing... this...

ahhh **** - if i added that im going to have to figure out all my piping over again to get that thimble... those flu gases aren't hot enough and there isn't enough rise to keep condensation out of there you think ?

My biggest question being the 90 to 90 starting off , it not being the gradual 1/4 inch rise per foot, curious if that is going to cause me efficiency issues or will I be just fine ?

Its a Mr heater big Maxx 50k btu natural gas unit .... didn't have to have a permit or anything or inspections for that matter but is this type of venting ok or am I going to be screwed later on ?? It's category 3 vent just has the 90s at the take off - Im also going to add storm collars and...

Showkey, this is the exact appliance adapter you suggest above... it does not fit... it flushes right up for the most part, is not big enough to fight over and is not small enough to slide inside... I am trying to find the piece that goes into this provided outlet on the heater itself so I can...

Yes, sorry it's a horizontal vent and I'm currently going to be using all CAT III stainless - single wall though also... is this also ok ? Showkey, I purchased that exact appliance adapter in there is no way I can get that to fit. I kind of at a loss on what will work for coming off the back...

Hello i purchased this heater from Menards https://www.menards.com/main/heating-cooling/heaters/gas-garage-heaters/mr-heater-reg-big-maxx-dual-fuel-forced-air-garage-heater/f260550/p-1444441200665-c-6861.htm?tid=-875991824301726858&ipos=17 I am trying to find the piece that would hook to...

I put the heater on top of some OSB that i cut out and used on my drywall lift and went from there lol! worked good to help get it into place.

Thanks guys ! I'm going to eventually sand and stain those boards as well as add trim to match all around the garage ceiling borders.

I ended up doing this so far ... the 2 x 4s are more than secured to the joists and i even ended up using 125lb drywall anchors in many different spots that i couldn't hit a joist... the rod around where it connects to the heater has nuts for adjust height and stuff and then on the very bottom...
