Sorry for the late response. I ordered the ShopFox base. It was recommended on the Grizzly site. Not exactly sure which model.

I love that quote.

I have an 800sf shop on Ann Arbor Michigan. The infrared heater I had was rated for my size but didn’t work to heat the whole shop. The concrete floor acts like a huge cooler in the winter and it takes the infrared too long to heat the concrete to provide radiant heat. Mainly because I don’t use my shop 24/7. I only use it on weekends and small periods of time. Perhaps if I left it on for the whole season it would be perfect. So I added the forced gas heater with fan to heat the shop faster. I moved the infrared to right above my assembly area to provide direct heat. NOTE: I installed the infrared at the ceiling joists about 8’ in the air, perhaps if this heater was up higher it would cover a larger area to heat quicker. But not sure.

This machine would definitely be an upgrade, but not ideal for stairs. I’m sure they make a different 3 H/P model that might be lighter. Good luck.

Thanks. However, I don’t remember what parts I used. Just standard gas plumbing parts from Homedepot.

For the venting

Oh, sorry. I thought you meant gas pipe. I used double wall vent pipe. Don’t remember the brand. Also from Homedepot. But I have learned since that most people use “Z” pipe, which I believe is single wall. Mine is double walled pipe so disperses heat very well. However, in the video I did not use a thimble. You should always use a thimble when putting pipe through a wall.

How’s it going. My pipe is double wall pipe that can handle more heat. The guy at Homedepot that helped me, said I didn’t need a thimble if I used dual wall pipe. But I’ve learned since then that a thimble should still be used. I have since fixed it. But I did test the wall with a heat gun and it did not register very hot even with the unit running for house. But, safe is safe.

Thank you for the comment. I went to double check this in the manual. That is Z-vent. I am no Heater expert. The Heater guy at Home Depot said I did not need a thimble if I use the dual wall vent pipe. I should have known better. I always thought that was close. I did spray fire block foam throughout the opening as a safeguard. But I will be installing a thimble, thanks to you.

@@joeyshardwood8234 ZVent is single wall right? Mine is. The Mr Heater manual mentions combustion clearance I think. I would never ask anyone at Home Depot for advice. Good decision to create some air gap between your vent and plywood. I got my thimble at supplyhouse.com and received it in 24 hours. My home depot doesn't sell ZVent so I got it all online.

I was wrong, the combustion clearance requirements are in the Z-Vent manual

My pipe is double walled pipe. That I know for sure. So perhaps it’s not z-vent. I’ll have to check. I thought z-vent was double walled pipe. I researched what you said and I now know for sure that I need a thimble. So thanks again. I took my temp gun to it and saw that the wall touching my pipe is about 93 degrees. Out side temp was about 35 today. The pipe outside was only 60 degrees. Still to hot for my peace of mind. I might redo all the pipe to meet code. I won’t trust homedepot again.

@@joeyshardwood8234 you probably bought B-vent which isn't a class 3 vent. You need the pipe with the gasket. It's right in the manual. Z-vent is also stainless. B-vent does not provide the air tight seal required for horizontal venting. B-vent does not require a thimble but b-vent is not correct for this heater.

The instruction manual list two different minimums in the same section. It uses a 3’ minimum and a 5’ minimum. However, I have a 5’ run anyways. 2 1/2’ inside and 2 1/2’ outside. So I do meet that requirement.

I had the same thought you did. I put a very slight slope down in mine. I even drilled a couple holes at the end of the straight pipe before venting up for 1 or 2 feet so that any condensation or water could drain out. Mine vents straight out the back for maybe 3 feet at most, then 90 degrees straight up to keep rain water out. It’s a short run.

@@joeyshardwood8234 thanks for the reply 👍

Hey Joey Sawdust. I was able to put the tables on by myself while holding them. Probably not ideal, but they weren’t to heavy. Just awkward to hold and screw at the same time. Once it was secured enough to let go, I went back and forth adjusting in small increments to get level. 2 people would be ideal. Your love the 1033x. It is pretty amazing. The oil is very hard to refill. Seems like a silly design flaw. You’ll see when you get it. The 1033x has bars that are used to lift it with Forks. They work perfectly. Enjoy, thanks for the comments.

Hello. I’ve definitely seen people roll heavy objects around with pipes. Seems easy enough. That’s a great trick for sure. But the unit was 900lbs, I can’t imagine pushing it off a height of 2 pallets and letting 900lbs just roll down hill. I also would not want to be in front of the unit as it slide off of 2 pallets to slow it’s decent. I definitely had visions of it crushing me and I’d be all alone in my shop under it. Probably stupid of me to even do it alone in the first place.

This runs off natural gas. I ran a 1/2 inch line from my house to my shop.

Hello, I just checked this feed and saw your comment. As far as a list, I don’t know if I can. I just go to Lowe’s and buy a bunch of stuff so that when I take it home, I can find a part that works and don’t have to go back to Lowe’s. I used some simple L brackets and long threaded bolts to hang it from the ceiling. Bought several 1/2 inch black pipe connectors and fittings to get the length and shape I wanted, and some simple 1/2 yellow gas flex tube to connect the gas. It’s a little trial and error to get it right. Then some basic wire to connect the thermostat (which is a nightmare in its self) and I’m all set. The heater works great, and it’s wifi. I can start or stop it from anywhere. Thanks for the watch. Hopefully this helps.

Thanks man. I’ve got more on the way.

Yes sir. I run it around 60-65, anything over that gets pretty uncomfortable depending on how hard your working. But it will get much hotter.

You guys were both pretty quick. But I’m assuming that’s some auto bought trying to steal my info. I much rather prefer yours.

Thanks Drew. It was very hard. Don’t try this at home. Ha ha.

Trust me, I know! 😢
