Nice video. I bought a 45000 btu Modine Hot Dawg in June 2010 for a detached garage I had build that summer. Garage is 26'w x28' deep (728sq ft) with 12' ceilings . The 45,000 btu unit is perfect and quite frankly probably would be suitable for something larger. It had performed flawlessly until this January 4th. Turned out the heater itself was still fine but the subcontractor who installed it for the builder made in intake pipe to the outside to suck in the air. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Somehow that intake pipe got blocked restricting air intake and the heater wouldn't ignite. That is a good thing. The Hot Dawg has since resumed performing well, so after a bit over 13 1/2 years I highly recommend them.
I’m getting ready to install 3 of these 60k NG units. Venting horizontally like you guys did. I wish I could have seen which cap you went with. Otherwise thanks for the great video. 👍🏻
Gas rises...Flue needs to rise 1/4" for every foot of run. You started with the flue already below the exhaust. Plus its good practice to have some sort of straight run coming straight out to prevent back up.
@@tjayh5981 if you read Mr Heater installation instructions it says it in there. Is it absolutely critical? Probably not, is it the right thing and the safe thing to do? I would say so
@brockperry6008 This is clearly a hot dawg heater by Modine. Not sure why you would look at a mr heater manual for info about these models. I have 2 hot dawg heaters by modine and the correct manual for these heaters shows you can either have an up or down slope to the horizontal exhaust. It does show a drip leg in either which this guy doesn't have and it says 1/4in /ft slope. Google the correct manual.
Didn't think you could use b vent on power vent appliances I was always told my modine you could only use one small section just to go through the wall? ...im just asking i always buy the single wall vent kits for them..... However in my personal shop i Used b vent on it ...
I have only installed a Hand full of these in my 31 years of doing this trade. I Looked in the Manual and didn't say anything about you couldn't. But from time to time I do make mistakes. :D

Thank you so much for sharing that.
Those lifts are great for hanging heaters like that. We have one to. it's very handy. Good job.Nice clean install.
Yes they are.$65 well spent for renting it. Thanks 👍

Just used a standard B-vent cap.
Nice. I always thought these hot dawgs were pretty good units.
Gas rises...Flue needs to rise 1/4" for every foot of run. You started with the flue already below the exhaust. Plus its good practice to have some sort of straight run coming straight out to prevent back up.
Thanks for that information.
These have powered exhaust fans that blow the exhaust out. The rise is not necessary on these models, from my understanding.
