ah...part 4. Thanks! You should talk about your gallons of fluid film. What do you use it for and how do you like it? Ive used it in spray cans to coat the frame of my truck inside and out as best i can for the harsh salty winter roads to try and keep the rot away. So far so good...
So you set the pressure to 10 inches of water input. I'm curious if you set the output? Modine says it's not factory set and must be set by the installer. I've been studying up on these for a while and have a 45000 on the way. I appreciate you videos. Stay Warm!
There are 2 regs. One outside to knock the tank pressure down provided by the propane company. The other one sets the pressure at the unit and comes with the unit.
@@QuickSpeedShop OK, so we have the exact same setup...I’ve got a Fisher 9-13 W.C. in-line as well...I’ve gotta either buy a manometer or place a w.c. gauge at the inlet...incase I need to adjust, cause we have propane cooking as well, although I doubt they’ll be running at the same time...
@@michaelwolfe7715 *Michael . . . almost certainly 'the fan comes on right away' is a normal thing . . . most of these type heaters during the "fire-up" sequence first start the blower / exhuast fan for ~10-30 secs. **_before_** actually (attempting to) fire the burner itself. The reason being to purge/flush/vent any potential residual NG/LP in the system prior to firing up. Said another way, to clear any gas and prevent big boom (explosion). So the fan running at startup is almost certainly normal (and good!). As to not actually firing up, though I don't know this model in particular, another possible reason may be that the electric sparker lighter doo-dad (the thing that electricity 'sparks for about 30 secs/the clickety-click doo-dad) has slightly improper (and thus ineffectual) spacing/gap. Sort of like a spark plug in a car/motorcycle etc. that isn't gapped properly won't work right. The gap cant be too small, too big, it has to be just about right. If one 'pole' of the sparker is too close (or too far) from the other pole, it may not ignite the burner correctly or at all. By way of example, I do some metal bonding/ "art" work and use a small handheld butane 'pencil torch' to often heat/melt various materials. The pencil torch is in many ways exactly like these burners - I flip on the 'gas' (butane) and hear a hiss - then click the button which causes a ''spark'" at the nozzle. The spark lights the pencil torch blue flame. HOWEVER, sometimes the new torches arrive and the sparker doo-dad 'pole' (which b/c this is the size of a sharpie marker - the entire torch that is!) is about the size of a tiny piece of rice - but it is 'bent' too close or too far from the opposing other pole. Or, during use of the torch/shoving it in drawer etc., the little pole can get bumped & bent inwards. Either way - by taking a tweezers and carefully bending the little pole out a bit (or pushing it in as case may be) - causes the sparker to have the 'poridge is just right' size spark and bada-bing bada boom the pencil torch lights just fine* *Long story short, you might want to find your units sparker doo-dad and see if the 'spark gap' can be manipulated - if so, it may resolve your issue very easily and quickly. Because if the sparker gap isn't about right, it is all but useless and the burner (as like my pencil torches) won't ignite* *Sorry for length, but hope that helps*

I don't have the part number. I just went to the hardware store and got thermostat wire. I think it has 5 wires in it, but only two are used with the base model thermostat.
It might sound louder than it is because the microphone is sensitive on the camera. You get used to it. I can easily hear the TV or radio when the fan is running.
Well done Sir. My boss used to give two guys 3.5 hours to do a complete install..even with all the tools running gas, venting, line and low voltage..seemed unreasonable to do a professional installation. My hat is off to you.
You deserve the work in the heat and not be frozen...Good going Josh...
I just bought one love it
Cool- you will be warm!

I have a Fluid Film video on my channel. Will be doing a Fluid Film vs Woolwax video in the next two weeks.
Awesome man, congratulations -heat in winter is great.
It's the bomb!
You want the T-stat as close to the return as possible. In your case (as in mine) that's somewhere near the rear of the heater unit.
Thanks for sharing!
I built an engine for a guy who has a Flathead V8 powered welder just like that one wow!
Cool! I'm excited to get mine running.
Nice. I like the gauge on the pipe, will that be permanent?
Yes, helps me keep an eye on things.

Good catch. So I have a part 5 coming out in a week or so where I address this. I borrowed a manometer from work and I use it to set the gas pressure.
@QuickSpeedShop - Why are you using an additional regulator; doesn’t you main tank have one under the lid too ? So you may have 3 in line ?
There are 2 regs. One outside to knock the tank pressure down provided by the propane company. The other one sets the pressure at the unit and comes with the unit.

Is it loud? it sure sounded like it was. Thanks .
It's not too loud. It's way quieter than the salamander heater. You don't have to talk louder or anything when it's running.
Nice heater but it should have been a category 4
I have this same heater. It doesn’t fire up and the fan in the back comes on right away. Any idea what’s wrong ?
I would that the thermocouple is bad. I would start there. Is the gas valve opening to let gas into the burner?
I’ll have to check when I get back out in the garage

What thermostat wire did you use?
I don't have the part number. I just went to the hardware store and got thermostat wire. I think it has 5 wires in it, but only two are used with the base model thermostat.
I'm looking for a garage heater for a 2 car garage. This seems to really do the job, but it seems so loud, doesn't it?
It might sound louder than it is because the microphone is sensitive on the camera. You get used to it. I can easily hear the TV or radio when the fan is running.

Thanks. It's working great so far.
