Thanks guys!!

I'm tired of filling up the portable humidifier every day during the winter. I'm putting 4 gallons a day into the air due to cold weather and running a wood stove full-time. Without the stove running I use radiant panels. I want to install a heavy duty humidifying system that hooks to a water...

Tech charge is variable, pretty much depending on how long it takes to charge the line, test for leaks and then take out all the O2. Depends on humidity, line length, line size, etc. My guy told me the whole process could take a couple hours or couple days. Depends on the system. It also...

Thanks for all the great suggestions.... You guys have given me some good ideas to start working on. - Rigid metal opposed to corrugated vent pipe - Insulating line - Maybe building a box around it - Adding a quick clean out at the first 90 out of the wall - Possibly adding a power vent...

Yeah...1820's farmhouse that I've been working on for 4 years. Before and after pix

Yes, this is a tough spot....but there has to be a way to work it. They do make booster fans...kinda pricey. I may need to rethink the layout. Thanks "The maximum developed length of a clothes dryer exhaust duct shall not exceed 35 feet from the dryer location to the wall or roof termination...

This isn't a HVAC question but it does deal with heat.... I'm remodeling my mudroom and the dryer is now stacked on the washer sharing a wall with the garage. I can't run the dryer vent line inside up in the ceiling because of large barn beams. (mudroom is in the attached barn) So I thought...

I've been tweaking the heater most of the day. Thanks for all your great suggestions. Here's the break down... - Uninstalled the heater and reinstalled outside the box. - Heater ran for 1.5 hrs before tripping the roll-out. Usually runs about 20 mins and then trips the switch so things were...

Sorry for the delay. I'm diving into this heater this weekend, and trying your suggestions. I'll let you know what I find.....:thumbup:

Not sure what an actual 'roll out' looks like. There are 3 flames. The bottom flame is pure blue, second is blue with some yellow, and the top is blue and orange. The only lapping of the flame is from the middle flame to the top flame along the channel for lighting. I took out the burners last...

So I just decreased the regulator output. Put a fan behind the unit along with a thermometer. The temp read 64F the entire time. After 30 min's the rollout tripped. It's getting plenty of oxygen and the unit is cool. I even kept the side panel off. I'm stumped.:confused:

Great ideas. I'll make some modifications this week and see how things work. I'll get back to you guys. Thanks for your input!!

I've been battling my Big Maxx 50,000 ever since day 1 and the company has no solution. I've attached pix of my installation. It's a unique install but meets the clearances. Back 20", sides 8", top and bottom 4". Here's the problem I keep having the rollout switch trip when it heats the room...
