Time to rent an insulation blower and fill in above the garage ceiling. Any tips on safest procedure when insulating around the flue? What needs to be protected or isolated and how? Thanks in advance for any constructive advice.

You all were correct in calling this guy a hack. Half *** would also suffice. The flue job is done correct and it works. Hack gave me $100 back. 7" of snow today no leaks or anything. Drywall goes up tmrw. Pics to follow.

venting rerouted to code per city regs, insulation up, hole fixed, sheetrock goes up thursday. heater shut off for the first time on its own. :)

Is there any specific distance the exit hole needs to be from the side of garage?

Is there any specific distance the exit hole needs to be from the side with no gutters?

I understand the internet allows some shady cahracters to surface however Im not one of them. I try to be as stand up as I can. I work in health care so something with this amount of restrictions/codes is better left to a professional. The installer is a certified HVAC employee who has been...

With two choices given the guy chose to come out and redo the venting through the roof. Even though he didnt do things correctly the work he did was solid. Question... Can I use double walled 3" pipe all the way from heater to termination through the roof?

Going through the wall requires a wall thimble...what is the equivalent hardware through the ceiling?

I'll post all the pics as soon as I can.

Looks like I might be going though the roof afterall. Is there any way I can re-route the venting without moving the heater itself? It sits three and a half from the north wall and 2 feet from the east wall...both exterior walls. I read the venting needs to exit atleast 6 ft from one of these...

Just spoke to Brad, one of twelve techs, from Mr Heater in Ohio. The 1/4" downward slope on a residential install is appropriate. The instructions aren't updated. This changed as of last year as long as stainless steel sealed venting is used. When talking commercial installations is when the...

C10...?

Alot of thought went into where everything is placed. I have 2 sat dishes sitting in a direct line with where a vertical flu wouldve gone. Horizontal was the best way. Looking at the Modine HotDawg manual (which is almost identical to the Mr Heater) it states a downward slope is ok so the...

I was surprised when talking to the installer too since i read about horizontal venting. He's got 21 years with a local reputable HVAC company and assures me it's legit. I couldve insisted he do it my way but he seemed more worried about the condensate than the exhaust since it has a blower.

Stanimal...that means he knows what hes talking about

There is an italicized "exception" for mechanical draft systems ie: forced air.

Licensed HVAC guy says theyre done like this often. I thought it had to be at a slight upward angle however, he said the condensate will run back into unit and corrode. Please elaborate.
