Wanted, garage heat!

It is just a threaded fitting that goes in your gas manifold. You may have to shut the house down temporarily if there isn't a valve on the run you will be working on. Once you get the valve in you can kick it back on. You seal the threads with Harvey seal or liquid ptfe.

Went to Menards yesterday and checked out the csst stuff. Getting more comfortable with the diy option.

In trying to figure out where to place the heater, I have two good spots. Each would be sourcing the gas from a different ng gas line. Each would be from a similar junction (see pictures).

My question about the two junctions. They both have a cap at the same point, pointing toward the ground, near where they enter a furnace. Is this a valid point to take ng from? Just curious, as it seems like there is no reason to have those "T" junctions at those points other than maybe there is a reason for those caps at those points?

I'd google it a bit. I know water lines have that extra length acting as an anti-hammer relief. Older houses have that hammering sound sometimes, this cured that. I'm not sure if it's the same for gas, but it's worth checking into. I T'd mine off the copper line in the ceiling above my hot water heater, and ran more copper line out to the garage.
