I installed firefox photobucket fix and that worked https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=372522&highlight=photobucket

Pictures??? I am installing a 60k unit now. Built a makeshift 'shelf', then hoisted to the shelf with a H.F hand winch and pulley attached to upper joist. Planning the hole cutting now. Thanks for your feedback on the Beacon Morris line

Here is my swing joint connection to the meter..

Hmmm, different ways of doing it.. Not sure were you are located, and what types of roof loading you have to contend with. Snow load? I would prefer they used double headers to rest trusses on. I assume local inspector to approve. Maybe call on him to come out soon.

Thanks shooon, I appreciate this. Nice to see the thermal expansion numbers too..

Thanks for your input. It wont take much more effort to include the swing joint.. I am planning on using pipe dope. I do have another recent post discussing pipe size, etc. If you can find those swing joint style pictures, I would appreciate that. Dan

How would the length of the underground pipe make a difference in whether to use swing joint or not? I thought a swing joint for use at the meter was to ameliorate the effects of frost heave or ground motion? Trying to understand these joints better. Where I live there is always frost heave...

We are in same climate area.. so unlikely I would need one

I am preparing my gas line run to my barn, and have a question regarding the need for a swing joint. I live in the north-east, and we do have a frost line of 42 inches. I am tying into the meter output via anodeless riser, with underground run of MDPE pipe. I see some folks using swing joints...

Interesting, I didnt know they would do this. Did they run new line from main at road, or tap into line going to house? If they ran new line from main at road, it would be ~200 feet for me. What is the non-heating monthly charge, if I may ask? We are both WNY residents.. :)

The couplers are already attached to the riser. (IPS) Sorry, I missed your point when you first asked me that. http://www.supplyhouse.com/sh/control/product/~product_id=2886008 Thanks. Dan

Not yet.. Might get local

Thank guys for all of your inputs. I ordered 150' 1" PE, and 2 anodeless risers Plus chamfer tool with shipping .. $400.10 Next is concentric vent kit $400 (ACF greenhouses) Plus fittings, and line inside barn.. Didn't order regulator.. Dan

Ok thanks guys.. I'm convinced.. Tee off meter... :) So, I need: What recommended pipe & risers ? (HDPE Supply) con-stab fittings? The plus is I own a trenching machine. :) I was getting ready to sell it.. It would be too big to trench between house & barn, but will be great running line...

Phil, I have charcoal grill. :) I 'could' go around patio, with underground run ~125ft. Hmmmm, I wonder if this would be 'easier/better'. So Tee it at meter, anodeless risers, 1" line? 1"tee, with 3/4" reducer for house? Dan

Hiya Phil, The gas company was out last year to 'swap out' the meter we had in place, something about random sampling of meters for accuracy... ? While they were out, I mentioned that I wanted to install heater and possibly standby generator someday, and he suggested larger meter.. So I went...

Thanks for all the inputs! - Wish I could go direct to meter.. Not doable.. Have to go under patio :( - Correct, stove should be higher More like 70k BTU ? - Digging - I m quite familiar with digging in that area. Already dug for electric and drainage to barn.. No other underground other than...

I am installing a 60k BTU heater in my barn, and need some inputs on gas line size, etc. Attached is a layout of gas line in house, and yet to be installed gas line to barn and gas line in barn to new heater. My questions are: 1. Do I need to redo the internal house line to 1" ? 2. For...

Congratulations! Lookin great. Now, what you gonna put in it? :)
