Is it OK to have the gas hose pass thru a wall or floor to a heater or appliance? Or is a rigid metal hose required?

This hose is labeled to be used as an outdoor house only. You should take the extra time and expense and do it right with a rigid pipe

I use the rubber hose to connect my heater from the gas line, however it's all in the same room. I would check about local regulations/homeowner's insurance about going through a wall with a rubber hose. I know running an electrical cord through a wall can void your homeowner's insurance as it's a safety violation; I imagine the same would apply for a gas hose.

it is sturdy enough to pass thru wall or floor, but I will not take the chance,because if you have to change it,or if it has a leak.

This depends on the building codes (fire protection) in your area. Most places flex piping is an OK replacement for rigid piping.

Hello there, I bought the hose to allow the use of a large propane container rather than the small ones that the unit is designed for. I don't plan to move the grill around or use it portably so buying a lot of small containers vs. a large one once in awhile made both monetary sense as well as environmentally friendly sense. The hose fits a standard propane tank and the grill nicely and is just right as far a length was concerned for me. If you plan to use it portably there is no point but if it will be stationary you will save money and a lot of trips for more small cans. I hope this answers your question and is helpful. By the way there are other solutions from a variety of companies but they all require a lot of fittings to make it work and this opens the door to a host of other problems.

It's currently configured to connect to a propane tank. I assume your house gas line is natural gas, but probably has the same connection. I say yes. You can always plumb it with the right fittings if not.

I have a 4000 sf house with 8 inlets and had no problem. They are about as still as a dryer sheet so it should pass through without a problem. I left the sheets in the vacuum can for awhile to deodorize. My system is a very old system that has just a cloth bag which is no longer made. I am just about to replace it with a bag system so if my old unit can pull it through, you should not have a problem.

It depends on where you plan to install the heater, I used a flexible stainless steal line half inch with the proper connectors and shut off valve. Amazon.com supplies all this material.

No. You do not want to trap air from a gas heater. Carbon monoxide gas is dangerous.

This heater must be attached to the wall. The gas pipe comes up through the floor and the valve is under the heater.

This Mr. Heater model is for Natural Gas only. It's designed to connect to your home's natural gas supply pipes. A plumber can help you install the natural gas connection.

I will have to say no. This hose is for outdoor use between the supply line on a rv to the grill and outside stove. There are special connections and valves which are on the rv for this hose. Of course you can go to HD and buy enough fittings to make anything work. lol There are hoses especially designed for use inside or outside the home. My experience as a veteran firefighter is a gas leak can sure mess up a good day. Don't take chances with the wrong hose-fitting combo!!!

Neither. This is a room to room unit, however it does need to exhaust through a slot in the window. It has a hose and frame for this purpose. Easy to install or remove and the unitworks good.

It needs a gas line ran to the heater for a full time supply of nat. gas. Not a simple task.

These hoses are designed for outdoor hook ups; natural gas implies a faily permanent indoor hook up. It will work in a pinch but it is not meant for long term indoor use and does not satisfy code.

You need the exhaust hose for the heating and cooling modes. If you are using it as a fan or as a dehumidifier you do not need the exhaust hose.

You will need a regulator (I forget the PSI but it's in the installation manual) rigid pipe or code-compliant flex hose and the services of a licensed gas installer.

The unit must be vented outside. A window is the most convenient, although I vented mine through a wall.There is only one hose on my unit.

You will need the hose with the plastic machine end. Search item number B0016PMQA0 on Amazon. Thank you.

If you are getting a hose with a quick connect fitting the filter isn't necessary and has no place to be connected to this type of connection. Also, this hose has the regulator attached. If you don't want a quick connect fitting and prefer using a screw on hose then you will definitely want to employ a filter. The regulator is already incorporated as part of the screw on portion of your heater.
