With recording, the install took about an hour and was pretty straight forward. I’ll cover the ins and outs of what is included and what is not and what you will need to purchase in order to complete your install.

Thanks! Mine came with the wall mount bracket but natural gas connection was the same. The "trap" was a nice touch as well. Stay warm indeed!
The trap is supposed to be piped as in the picture of the instructions. It will collect debris better. Just a tip. 😉
Good video for first one😊. Also the best one I found on these type of heaters
Thanks for this video, helped me walk through the instruction manual with ease.
Thank you for checking it out! I’m glad it helped!
Thank you!! mine actually did not come with the mounting hardware but your video showed the part numbers which was aawesome~
Glad I could help. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@hootyshowto48 is the thermostat battery operated
@@lorenzodavis1735 No, it's a piece of shit actually.
This was the video I needed! Thank you very much
Thanks for your video, i had my wires crossed now it works great!
good informative video! turn the phone sideways for a full screen video
I have one of these units and moisture is very high would you recommend a power vent to pull air outside and if yes would you locate it near heater or opposite wall near garage door? thanks for your video.
If you are having a issue with moisture a dehumidifier would probably solve that for you. You could locate it wherever you like and best of all no holes to drill 🤗
Hlo sir I was just move out to new home so I got the same heater in my garage so when I see the heater I see lil fire so I off that fire can you please help me how to reuse I tried but it didn’t work when you got time please advise thank you 🙏
Great Video
Thanks for the video. Is there any concern about carbon monoxide etc. coming from the heater with the bedroom being above the garage? I have the same situation and I’m hesitant because there is no vent. If no problems for you I think I’ll go ahead and install one..
Thanks for checking out the video. My wife had the same concern and I didn’t want to take any chances either. I purchased a carbon monoxide and explosive gas detector and have it plugged into an outlet in the garage. I’ve had absolutely no readings since installing it. Here’s the link for the one I purchased, however I bought mine from a local big box store.
Kidde AC Plug-in Carbon Monoxide and Explosive Gas Detector Alarm | Nighthawk Sensor Technology | Model # KN-COEG-3 www.amazon.com/dp/B0002EVNJ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_mG6CFbWK98RYE
Yes there is a concern, this unit should actually be vented.
@@steved8714 Mfgr says doesn't need venting. How did you learn otherwise?
I heard that reznor udap is a good model heater but this is a good heater and a good video
Thanks for watching Zack. I will hopefully have an update out very soon. We had a very cold winter and I am trying to average out my gas bills to see roughly how much it went up since the heater was installed. More to come.
Watched this before my install. Realized mine did not come with the mounting brackets.
I noticed you don't have the correct clearances, are you concerned about it?
Do you get an odor of spent gas or exhaust? I do. Do you have an update how you repositioned? No CO2 detected but the sunshine shows smoke in the garage- I am contemplating tube heater- radiant.
I have either become used to it or it has gone away since then, but also no CO readings for me. Still as reliable as when I put it in. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video, I am thinking of installing this unit on my patio under my aluminum/glass canopy. Wondering how much clearance you have between the heater and the ceiling? Does it make the ceiling pretty hot above the heater? Did you end you having to put a heat shield or lowering the unit? Thanks for your help!
Thanks for checking out the video. I am having issues with clearance I hope to address in a follow up video. Overall the unit is great. In your case based off of what you described, I would not recommend mounting it close to the ceiling. Given that it would be near glass, I would imagine with the heat and cold (potential snow as well) you could experience catastrophic cracking/breaking of the glass. I would either consider a different unit, or alternative mounting location. Potentially some kind of heat deflector could benefit you and possibly work, but I still would have to suggest something else. Hope that helps. Thank you for your question.
Any issues so far with the mounting location? Everything I read suggest 2ft plus clearance, but I don't really know if it is necessary.
Looking for the same info
Definitely keep the recommended distances. Mine ended up being too close to the ceiling and caused some discoloration. I have since moved it down from the ceiling to about 36” and added a homemade deflector. All has been well since.
Can we use it at the cottage or a small camp 24x32
harry sharl thank you for checking out the video. If your area is fairly open it may work. If you have several closed off rooms you may have a problem with the warm air circulating throughout the space. I’ve been meaning to do an update video, but I have been busy with several other projects. There is a smell that is emitted because of the pilot light. If you don’t think that will be a bother to you it may be for you. I did purchase a CO/explosive gas meter from Menards. It’s a simple plug in model similar to a straight CO monitor most people have in their homes. I got no readings for CO or explosive gases being present, so it doesn’t seem to be a concern of endangering health with the fumes. You are within the range of the square footage this heater can handle (768 sq feet) it’s pretty efficient it only turned on for about ten minutes every hour and a half to two hours in my insulated and dry walled garage. So if you don’t mind the smell and your floor plan is pretty open and you meet the requirements as far as mounting it properly it may work fine for your application. Thank you again for checking it out and subscribing.
Great first video! How high are the ceilings in your garage? What are the inside length and width dimensions of your garage? Thanks!
The ceilings are about 10-12 feet. Garage is about 30x22. Thanks for watching and commenting.
good vid how did your heater work january 30/31
So far it’s working great. Only runs a couple times an hour even in this cold. I’ll be doing an update video in a few weeks once I get the gas bill to see what impact it will have. So far I am very very happy with it.
I have a question can u add a timer on these heater?
I haven’t heard of anyone doing it. It’s possible that a programmable thermostat might work, but do not quote me on that.
Good video, but you should be filming in landscape, not portrait.
any concerns on your clearances? Top, back, etc.
Yes. I keep saying I’ll have a follow up video, but life keeps getting in the way. I have since moved it further down from the ceiling and added a deflector above the ceramic tiles where the heat comes out. It has worked very well so far.
How do wires work without any electric power ?
There is an electric signal being passed through the wires, but as there are no moving parts with this system (blower motor, electric ignition) it does not require typical A/C power that you would find in a standard outlet. Instead it works on millivolts D/C which is a much smaller current and generated by the system itself. So no external power is needed to run the heater. Thank you for checking out the video and I hope that answered your question.
Does it need electricity?
no, no power needed
My manual gas control knob will not turn 😮
Did you try depressing it then turning
@@hootyshowto48 yes.
I’m sorry I am not home at the moment to take a look at mine. If you think it’s defective maybe contact mr heater or the store you bought it from. I apologize for not having a better answer.
@@hootyshowto48 thanks for replying. I’ll get back up on the latter over the weekend and check it out more in depth. I’ll keep you posted.
Please do in case someone else has the same issue. Good luck and have a good weekend.
Didn't like the clothes stacked that close to heater.
Audio sucks dude
