My Helix is coming in next week!!!!
I have been trying to get my space ready to accommodate the new machine. I'm picking up a computer this weekend and hope to get the software together next week. My next task is to figure out how to vent this thing.
I rent space in a building and my only exterior wall is on the front side facing the street - it is pretty tight on the front side as I have our entrance for the retail (with an ac above it ) a big plate glass window and a garage door.
There is one vent already cut into the roof for a gas heater (the kind that mount up near the ceiling) but nothing beyond that.
I'm planning to get some estimates on cutting a new hole but it might not fly for the landlord -
worst case I suppose I can run a flexible drier vent tube out the garage door when I am cutting but I'm hoping to do something more legit and permanent
My second plan is to T into the stack for the heater or maybe use a Y fitting - I think it would work as the stack to the outside seems oversized, but I need to get some feedback from an HVAC company I reckon.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with a less than perfect building to work with....
What are some of the solutions you all have come up with?
any tips as I plan this out?
how far can you run rigid vent pipe without causing issues?
thanks in advance
