I received my Glo Warm model GWP10T (vent-free, blue flame, 10,000 BTU/hr, propane heater) yesterday and finished the installation today. I Tee'd off the 3/8 copper tubing going to range with 3/8 copper tubing to a 3/8 flare shut off valve and from there via 3/8 copper tubing direct into an 3/8 flare X 3/8 pipe elbow mounted to bottom of heater. I believe this was the minimum number of fittings possible given the desire to include a shut off valve.

According to the manual there is no requirement to provide outside ventilation? We have an unconfined space which is defined as any volume having more than 50 cu ft per 1,000 BTU/hr. We have approximately 192 (30X8X8/10). The manual states that in the case of an unconfined space, "You will need no additional fresh air ventilation".
