I know the heat is gonna dissipate at the very end of the tube, but if I was to put my thermostat down at that end of the build the thing would probably run for a long time before gettinf to temp. I know it looses temp the further it goes but you can't even feel the heat radiating down unless...

Yes I have the propane orifice in there. I had a guy yesterday come check to make sure it had the correct pressure and he said he adjusted it a little bit but set it to what was recommended.

Sounds good, I appreciate it. Do the blower motors ever get weak in these things or go bad? I know jt recommends a certain orfice but could there be a different one it actually needs too? I do agree it is probably too big but I feel like something is wrong with the unit itself.

Really? The manual that I have for the unit doesn't have any in them. Here is a photo of the instructions

Alright I will look into buying something at that btu. I followed the instructions to a T as far as I believe. I have re-read them a few times now. There are no baffles inside the tube. Yes I installed the heater. Is there a brand of heater that is good and I should look into? Do u get another...

I am located just outside council bluffs iowa. What is the temp drop on a unit this size from end to end. I stuck a temp gage on the heater and it is 700 on burner box side and about 170 4 or 5 feet from the end of the tube. I am considering just buying 100 btu unit. But I assume if the unit...

I get your examples and that makes sense. I never looked at it that way. My over all length of my tube is 50 foot. So If I was gonna buy another unit I would probably need a 125btu unit or do I get 150? What's your formula for figuring it out ?

Also is there a reason why my tube on this unit does not discolor all the way down? Is that because it is over sized ?

Ok I was told from another radiant tube heater company I only need to have around 115btu to 150btu at max? What do you suggest I should get ? Just trying to wrap my head around it all but how come if I am going to go lower in btu it is going to heat everything up faster or it is gonna be more...

Sorry was trying to respond from my phone and it wasn't working right.

thermostat is by my walk in door about 3 feet away from it. I should of done my research better before buying unit. pressure looks fine, not any codes and no it isn't short cycling. it does get to the temps i want. but i feel like when it gets there it starts running again. i feel like the end...

I have a 175,000 btu Mr.heater radiant tube heater. I don't know if I have high expectations or just a bad unit. I have a 40x70 shop with 16ft tall ceilings. I have spray foam on the wall 5 inches thick and 2ft of blow insulation in the ceiling. I set my thermostat to 45-50 degrees and I go...
