shop heater install

[Jon Jacobs]

I finally made time to install my 80,000 BTU shop heater. My big lathe is in the direct path of the heater.

Due to the restricted space I was unable to get a fork truck in or a scissor jack.

I made up an articulated mount and fixture it to the ceiling just below the gas line.

I made up a crude bridge which was supported by a step ladder and my crane.

By adding a platform to my floor jack I was able to use it as a trolley and rolled it into position.

you did better than me I used a step ladder and stood on top of a kitchen cabinet to attach a 175000 modine to 4 threaded rods in the ceiling 14 ft. high with one helper

now getting someone to install a vent is the next problem

I kept getting conflicting installation codes from various gas fitters, frustrating.
