Wanted, garage heat!

Gas line is super easy now, use the flexible stainless stuff. I just ran a line 55' and it took me an hour to do it. CSST is what they call it and Menards has the better stuff. Should only need a 1/2" line run to it. I scored a 30k BTU heater on CL for $35 to supplement the in floor heat. All hooked up and heating for $150 total.

Hmm. I may investigate this option. I may just mount the heater, run this kind of line, and then see how I feel about the last connection to the houses gas line.

What's used to seal the connections? Would I be shutting down the entire houses gas supply to do this or just the section I'm working on?

I installed a ventless heater a couple years ago. The supply coming into my house is 2 psi. The heater will list specifications for gas pressure. IIRC, the specs for input pressure on mine mine were 5-10.5" inches of water. I had to install a regulator and put together a diy manometer to set the pressure. The heater won't work right if the pressure is wrong.
