I just got back from a Propane store (here in Camp Verde, AZ) that sells vent free heaters similar to the one I purchased. They helped me come up with a very simple design. I tap into the 3/8 OD copper line to range with a 3/8 flare Tee. I then run copper tubing to a 3/8 flare shut off valve located underneath a drawer bank. From the other side of flare valve I run a short piece of copper through the peninsula wall into a flare/pipe elbow that connects directly to bottom of heater. When the heater is not in use, we remove lower drawer and shut off valve. We wanted valve inaccessible so grand children could not access it. The heater can then be removed for maintenance or cleaning by unscreweing the flare fitting that connects to flare/pipe elbow just below heater.
