Gastite FlashShield CSST: Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks for the compliments. I did a ton of research (Beacon Morris tech support probably got tired of my calls :-)), and I know it can be frustrating for novices like myself when seemingly minor details are left out of project videos. So, I tried to do the videos from a novice's perspective...

Thanks. Yes, the garage warms up very quickly. I just read through your installation thread - nice. I was a little nervous about venting vertically, but I didn't have much choice. It seems to have turned out fine.

Yes, it is Gastite FlashShield CSST, not rubber tubing. The plumber mentioned that it's suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It's good to know that only the drip leg needs to be corrected.

It helps to lengthen the heater's life by drawing in fresh air instead of contaminated air from the garage (e.g. saw dust, chemicals, etc). Also, the air that gets sucked into the heater is warmed slightly by the heat from the flue before reaching the heater. That's about the extent of my...

I'm starting to wonder about my professional gas installation and why the inspector found no issues. The company I chose was highly recommended on Angie's List. The roof will be replaced in a couple years, so I planned on having ridge vents added at that point then I'll also install foam baffles...

Thanks. I bought the kit from littlegreenhouse.com for $217, since their kits include the orange gaskets and they offer free shipping (the kit is for the Sterling GG heater, but the Beacon Morris is identical). Like I mentioned in video 2, the pipe kit is sold separately at littlegreenhouse.com...

Hmm, OK. I might check into those brackets. I'd thought about using Unistrut U-bolts, but the lag screws seemed to hold extremely well. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Thanks. It's been nice to have a heater in the garage so I can work comfortably. The funny thing is that the temps in my area have been near 60 degrees the last few days. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

OK, thanks.

Yeah, I saw that. I'm going to check with the plumbing company.

The local inspector signed off on the gas piping. A professional plumber performed the gas installation (I don't mess with gas [emoji2]). The black gas line is flexible, and it's apparently an approved alternative. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Beacon Morris BRT045 Installation Finished (Video Included) I've been a lurker here for a few years, and I thought I'd post video of my installation of a Beacon Morris BRT045 heater. This forum was very helpful in compiling information to complete the installation. Video 1 of 3: Video 2 of...

I'm getting ideas for my simple garage makeover, and I'll definitely be referencing your work when I make my design choices. Nice job.
