I knew there was something I liked about you, lol. I’ve got over forty years in the HVAC business here in Florida. Got home from installing three systems and a chiller system for the nitro fuel in our race trailer. We purchased Rusty Wallace’s nascar trailer and have been converting it for drag racing, first run on the dragster will be Monday🤞🤞. I’ve found it best to crimp you snap lock facing down stream to prevent possible whistling , very important on dryer venting as the crimp will catch lint . Nice work Doug
Chillers, nice. That's what I deal with mostly now. But for some reason I still like working on residential equipment from time to time. I'll bet that's a nice trailer, good luck on Monday. 🤞
Thanks for sharing this video, like the gentleman above I always figure you were either a sheet metal worker of a electrician. You attention to detail and your work was impeccable. I’m a retired IBEW electrician.
For a long time I was in Local 265 tin knockers in Illinois. Back then I worked with many of your IBEW brothers in the field. 👍 Especially when I was a service tech.
Thanks for running through your install... I put a small 220V electric heater in the shop because it was an easy install. Seeing this, I will have to put a gas upgrade on the to-do list. The electric is great if I fire it up right when I get out of bed, but I'd rather have it warm up quickly... Sometimes I only have a short window to get out in the shop and work.
I was in the same situation. I too have a 220v heater out there. But it really only works if it's pointed right at me. It's not enough to really warm up the whole area. Now I'm unstoppable! 😁
Nice to see an install. I just picked up a working 1995ish Coleman Evcon 100k for my 2000sqft shop for free. It’s an 80% but the parts are readily available and cheap and the older ones seem to be steady Eddie’s if they’re taken care of.
I like how you blew up the gas line going to the garage. Only thing I noticed was no intake on furnace. Going to lose some efficiency for that makeup Air? Also, only difference I would have done on the gas line is a ball valve to isolate the garage hookup. Easy enough to install one with that union there.
Hey Doug thanks for the video I recently installed a suburban lp rv furnace in my 12x25x10 ' garage. Garage is fully insulated except for roller garage door . The Furnace is 30.000 Btu I ran the lp hose towards the front of garage so I can change out tanks I put on outside right of building . The furnace heats garge quick from 40 to 65 in like 10 minutes so I am happy installing wifi thermostat tomorrow . Like you I will use it when I am working in garage and keeping tools and equipment warm makes it alot easier on this old man hands. I was doubly cousios installing this being very aware of venting and carbon monoxide . I have it running of a battery 12 volts and a auto charger maintainer so either way Ill have heat if power gos out . NOw I kinda wish I had found your video earlier BUT I know nothing about home furnaces and ther installs and I do not have much floor spae for one we will see how this works .
@@DougBugBuilder ok I hooked up wifi thermostat and it does not quite run correct I have two wires from the rv furnace basically when the two blue wires make contact the furnce fires up but with regular two ire hook up on thermostat it will call for heat then it shuts off for like 3 seconds and just the fn comes back on untill it calls for more heat . I changed wires around and got it to shut off when nit hit correct temp but ow it is saying I need to hook up C wire for WiFi to work (sigh) SO now I have ordered a C wire power supply nd will hook that up and see if I can keep WiFi connected to thermostat (sigh)
Awesome! Wish my house had natural gas service. I'm limited to propane in my neighborhood and it's crazy expensive. Right now I'm paying $2.07/gallon on a whole sale co-op price plan. After Jan of 2021 the prices sky rocketed. I was paying $1.45/gallon this time in 2020. You do the math... Anyway I'll be getting another 500 gallon tank this summer so I can install an overhead radiant heater in my garage. I figured this would be the best for that application given that I have a massive American Pacemaker lathe in there and a Bridgeport style knee mill too. They'll soak up the heat and help to make it last longer. My other shop has an old wall unit installer. It does a pretty good job when I run it. However that shop needs insulation and drywall before I'll even attempt to run it longer than 30 min to break the chill on days where I can't tough it out.
Wow, I never realized propane was that expensive. Natural gas is cheap, even now. I mean I'm still careful with running it, but it's mainly just because I don't like to waste energy. Not so much the costs. Like you sometimes I try to tough it out. 🥶
@@DougBugBuilder Yeah I didn't realize it either until I moved into a more rural neighborhood. If I would have known, I'd have definitely looked for a house with natural gas. It's extremely expensive every winter. So expensive that I pretty much shut down working in my shops as a result. However it's important that I keep my lathe and mill from rusting. I'm going to need to keep the garage at around 45-50 all winter. I plan on replacing the doors and spray foaming the roof. The walls already have fiberglass bat in them. The doors are the biggest issue. The wind almost always blows towards them. One winter the snow blew in through the gaps and covered damn near everything with a light dusting of snow.
@Cory Gill Man the way you write is really entertaining, I love it. When I was in Illinois we had installed a Daikin VRF system in an office building. They kept complaining because it was bringing in humidity because of the outside air requirements. So they were complaining about the system a lot. I ended up showing them the energy savings they were getting compared to when it was just RTU's up on the roof. Suddenly they had much more respect for the new system. 😁😁
Good job! I admit I'm pretty jealous of the heater. Unfortunately, I can only think warmly. In Germany, almost everything is banned or much more expensive because of regulatory requirements.
Good job my friend. I have to heat on my garage, on woods. I don't have gas. It's a home made stove, by me, of course. I make from 4 grade to 22 in almost an hour. It's very good warm. I could work all winter, 1 day per week, when i got time.
My first Rc was the Tamima super champ. Loved that car. Was that what you had on the shelf? There your next video. Run your Rc buggy. I now have 4 Rc’s Heng long m1a2, losi grave digger, red cat scout ii & a Trax slash. Along with my super champ I had a clod buster, monster beetle, the F150 Ford pick up, and a frog.
The Super Champ was my first RC car too. On the shelf that I showed there I have two restored Super Champs along with a third that is not restored but it is drivable. It's fun to drive it from time to time. I had a Monster Beetle too. A ridiculous car, but so much fun. 😁
Hey man, Interesting video I didn't know house gas lines could be so clean. 😁 Shame about getting Ratchet out on the tracks but I have been looking forward to seeing how you tackle the front end. Anyhoo thanks for sharing. ✌🏻 Peace from Australia.
@@DougBugBuilder I am helping a friend build a retaining wall in his back yard, just for fun. It is a big project. We enjoy each other's company and I am able to teach him about masonry. We work at our own pace and do quality work. He is a successful musician and music teacher. We both know how to trust the creative process. The wall is going to be nice when finished in a few moths. It will be much nicer than anything he could have afforded and be much more durable.
@@DougBugBuilder Now I can feel comfortable coming to check out this insane build....without getting hypothermia....LOL Seriously, Home Depot has a wall mount fan that turns...even comes with a remote. Works awesome for moving air, even when it's summer. A regular ceiling fan would be good over in the 2 car garage, to keep that hot air moving down and back in to where you work.
It doesn't get cold enough in the garage for the trap to freeze. But I did notice if it's really cold when the inducer starts up some of the water in there will freeze and prevent the inducer from making the air proving switches. Once I had to blow a hair dryer at the inducer to get it fired.
Sweet video Mike, as usual top notch work, I have come to expect nothing less from you, lol, that is awesome that you have heat in the shop now, have you been thinking about what to do with the trailer yet, talk to you soon Mike
Hey Mike, I've been thinking about the trailer but haven't come up with a solution yet. It's a real head scratcher. I'm leaning towards just making ramps to hold the rear above the tires for now. Although I'm not real excited about that idea.
@@DougBugBuilder yeah I’m with you on that, maybe a one piece fender to fender made out of aluminum with pegs that would pull out when your not using it, other than something like that, looks like the options are a higher deck or wider axles, if you went the axle route do you think you could cut them weld in a piece, and move the fenders out a bit, just throwing some ideas out there, there’s only so many things you can do 😂
@@DesertRatFabrication The other option I'm considering is making a set of temporary wheels that are real narrow for when it's on the trailer. But I don't know, it seems like a lot of work.
I have a similar furnace. For some reason they never made an run to heat the kitchen. It’s an older model and an old 1920s cottage. I’m thinking the technician didn’t want to crawl in the very small crawl space and cut through the floor. 😂 Is there an easy way for me to add a line to warm the kitchen. It’s a similar size unit and the house is about 700 sq ft.
Without a filter… you’ll jam that furnace with so much shit… it’s not just the blower wheel you want to keep clean, you will plug up the secondary heat exchanger.. then it will crack. And at that point you need to pray your pressure switches open and save your life

All electric is good. I have an electric heater in there now. It's just to small to use on really cold days.

If you don’t put a filter in, the secondary heat exchanger will plug up causing furnace to cycle on limit
That is a very nice install. It will function well for many years. Did you consider putting in a ceiling fan to pull the warm air down from up there?
No, but now that a couple have mentioned it I might. Seems like a good idea. 👍
Good job! I admit I'm pretty jealous of the heater. Unfortunately, I can only think warmly. In Germany, almost everything is banned or much more expensive because of regulatory requirements.

Hopefully you’ll be able to manage the airflow well enough so it won’t blow your cover gas away while you weld.
It should be ok, most of the sir blows straight to the ground.
Toasty tools great idea I'm surprised you didn't run a small diameter duct to the back side of your roll away LOL take care buddy
Yeah, whatever it takes to keep the tools warm! 😁

I have a similar furnace. For some reason they never made an run to heat the kitchen. It’s an older model and an old 1920s cottage. I’m thinking the technician didn’t want to crawl in the very small crawl space and cut through the floor. 😂 Is there an easy way for me to add a line to warm the kitchen. It’s a similar size unit and the house is about 700 sq ft.
I'm sure if you could squeeze maybe a 5" round off the furnace you could run that to the kitchen.
Cool, (pun intended), did you pull a permit for the installation 🤔
Nice Pun, and no permit. 🕵️♂️
I'm surprised that you did not go with one of those new mini split ?
Ya know, I didn't want to have to install a condenser somewhere outside. That was the deciding factor.
Holy static pressure Batman…
@Cory Gill it’s great if your wife hair dryer breaks… just fire up the heat
You have to measure the pressure in PSI, not IWC. 😁
Yea, not sure about that exhaust set up… I’ve never turned one down
As long as it has a means of drain it should be ok… not conventional though I will admit
# 1👍🏻!! 👍🏻

You're not supposed to have a union in the gas line only at the connection
Without a filter… you’ll jam that furnace with so much shit… it’s not just the blower wheel you want to keep clean, you will plug up the secondary heat exchanger.. then it will crack. And at that point you need to pray your pressure switches open and save your life
