I am installing my radiant heater and I need some help on running the black pipe for the propane.
It needs to pass inspection for insurance purposes. Its 125,000 BTU.
I will have approximately 7 foot of pipe on the ceiling, then down the sidewall. 14 foot side wall, will go though the wall about 3 foot above floor.
I've put in pipe a couple times for projects, just never had to make sure it was "to code".
Heres where I need help, plus any other advice would help too.
1. How long does the drip leg need to be after it comes through the wall from the outside?
2. Do I need a drip leg at the furnace, how long?
3. Shut off valve at the furnace, right?
4. 1/2 or 3/4 inch supply line?
5. Is it ok to use EMT conduit clamps to secure the line to the ceiling?
Thanks,
Rick
