Does it have to have stainless vent or can it be another material? My existing propane tank has a double walled PVC or at least some kind of plastic.

If it's recommended to have stainless venting use it. I did. Don't go cheap.

My vent is stainless steel. I have no idea about the other kind. Sorry. My sons installed the new heater for me and the steel one was already there.

Should be stainless with a drain because of the amount of moisture created during combustion. I eliminated the need for vent by using an outside model.

It's plastic, i dont know of any coffee pots with a stainless tank. We have had zero problems with this coffee pot though. It's fabulous

I had the same problem that I fixed by cutting a 2 1/8 inch hole in the side of the trailer to insert a pvc pipe nipple and glued it in place. An end cap was added for weather tight seal when in transit. Your propane tank remains outside and your supply line passes through the pvc pipe. A wash cloth prevents any mosquitoes from joining you. Ventilate per instructions.

We have PVC pipes and have had no obvious problem. Seems to work well, recommended to us by the local hardware store - a place that takes matters like this, quite seriously. In fact, the have a dozen alternative products and they were strong in recommending thus one. I put it in 2-3 times per year and leave a box on the floor with a list of dates. Smells a bit when you dump the stuff in the hopper and flush. So best to be leaving after application. And, best not to use caustic materials that drain to tank. Kills off te good bugs.

If the tank is new it's most likely nitrogen. If the tank is used you need to determine what is in the tank. Use manifold and a pt chart. It's not OK to vent refrigerant.

Both the people I know who actually own this grill have gotten themselves the adapter (with hose) that lets you use refillable "20 pound" (and other sizes) propane tanks. There is plenty of room on the bottom rack for a tank this size. This way only the fairly compact (and flexible) hose is dangling from the connection port behind the timer. (And, by the way, WHY did they make timer only capable of 99 minutes time?)

It was installed in our garage and vented through the garage wall with a PVC pipe to the outside side yard and not the roof. I hope this helps you out!

It is a completely sealed maintenance free battery so you don't need it to be vented. It isn't like a standard lead acid battery which is why you need the vent. You will be fine to put this in.

It is plastic. I've been using mine on a gas stove with no problems. Note: it does get a little hot so I'd recommend a pot-holder, if you're going to grab right after it's done percolating.

I believe Takagi requires stainless steel vent pipes. When I added up the cost, the vent pipes were going to cost me more than the Takagi. I returned the Takagi and bought another model that can be vented with PVC.

No. Must use propane tank. Very poor made unit. Fell apart after 2 days sitting outside. I would not buy again.

Yes. Reservoir is plastic, and hoses/tubes are plastic-y. I can't speak to any health effects, but I would've preferred a stainless tank, too

you need a CharBroil grill with a dual fuel logo. Then you need to remove the propane orifice from each burner, and this hose. This kit is better, as it includes to orifice tool and new faceplates that say its natural gas. The hose on my model was damaged after 3 years of use, so I replaced it with thisChar-Broil Natural Gas Conversion Kit

as my unit is natural gas there is no vent to install = probably not with propane either. I just mounted it on the wall, plumbed in a gas line to it and turned it on. I use it in my garage and have yet to go past the lowest setting on it = uses about $30 a month in gas. I love this puppy!

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.

I have propane tanks in the backyard to heat up the pool itself. A propane company installed them years ago. They fill the tanks up at the beginning of each summer season. How is your pool heated now? This heater comes in 2 different options: gas or propane. Each needs to have the lines installed professionally I believe. Ask your pool people. I would not attempt BBQ grill tanks etc..

Hi, unfortunately probably not. Your existing water heater likely uses PVC venting and this tankless will melt it during exhaust. If you have a relatively short, straight length then it won't be too expensive to vent. But you NEED stainless steel venting rated for this. While i'm at it, you may not have the right LP line either. check your line, if it's less than 3/4" you will need to replace it. I had 1/2" LP line and PVC venting. I ended up going cheap 50 gal electric. Was way to expensive to replace everything for me
