Not really. I had the same problem. The best thing I could do is vent it out the side of my garage which I can see from the street. I could go through the top, but I can see that pretty obviously from the backyard which I didnt really want either.

I was told by a friend contractor that you cannot run black pipe with mechanical connections inside a wall or other inaccessable area. He said the only way to make it legal is to sil-phos braise it and use copper lines or unspliced copper. running in the studs, you need to be 1 1/4" back from...

I am a big fan of renting a core drill and bit form a rental shop. I did it in a poured insulated wall and makes a clean hole all for about 60 bux to rent for 4 hours.

I planned on running a 45K unit in my almmost 1000 sq ft garage in MN, Kev. I dont need heat all the time, but want it available. It will also make sure the heat exchanger gets hot enough to not condensate water and prolong the life that way. I dont need it to be 60 in my garage all the time...

I much prefer the pig tail methood. It eliminates a possible connection failure downstream if I wire comes loose.

I am not the conneseur of tools that most here are but except for a few things like gear wrenches and little odds and ends things, all of my hand tools are craftsman. I have always bought them and liked them. I have broke 1- screwdriver, 1- 3/8 ratchet, and 2- 1/4 ratchet in the last 13 years...

Get or borrow a SDS base hammerdrill and get the appropriate sized drop in or sleave anchors for your plates. I have a Bosch bulldog I got at menards but home depot or lowes for the same price of 200 or so.

Right on man :thumbup: Sounds good to go :)

That because you used the wrong box for the fan. I always use metal, but correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that you used a old work cut in type box to mount your fan. If that is the case, that is a mojor no-no.

Fixed. Of topic guys, come one now this isnt TCS, lets keep it real here. Real people who care come here :lol: :bounce:

This thread delivers :lol:

I have a bunch in my garage and a bunch in a buddys and I havent noticed any radio problems. Maybe the people who have problems dont have a good ground system for the lights in their place?

Jumper the R and W or C on the unit. That will call for heat.

I am an electrician and I prefer plastic. Hvae the locate tabs, have nails ready to hit, dont have tpo ground the box. There are lots of advantaged to plastic over metal. The only metal I run is for pipe/mc/ac instalations. If you get the metal boxes, they are more expensive and you need the...
