Sup /diy/,

I just got this direct vent propane heater to install in an 8x16 shed I'm converting into a music studio. I'm connecting it to two 40 lb propane tanks outside of the shed, on a changeover regulator. The manual says I have to have this unit professionally installed or else the warranty is invalid.

LIMITED WARRANTY APPLICATION AND COVERAGE:

- 1 year coverage from defect and/or workmanship on all parts
- original owner: lifetime replacement coverage of the combustion chamber
- not covered: all labor costs

Do any of you have a direct vent heater, and did you install it yourself or did you hire a licensed contractor?

Lol! In this day and age of printers, you could layout and print up a recipe in five minutes...

Not sure I follow, anon. I know how to install it, but the problem is I'm not a licensed contractor, so doing it will invalidate the warranty.

He's saying you forge a receipt if it ever goes bad.

It's a direct vent heater. That means the waste gas is vented out the wall behind the heater.

sorry didn't read. gas and flue routing are really simple. make sure to pressure test the gas line. it's really simple. use your head.

>>1280879
Do I need a pressure test or can I just test for leaks with soap?
