Affixing the Diesel heater

Now that the gas tank and the Diesel tank are ready, the mounting place for the heater was found: near the bathtub.

The provided metal template was used to determine the location of the holes. But the floor board is very thick - just drilling the holes would not leave enough space for affixing the screws and hoses properly. So instead, I cut a larger opening.

Then I placed an insulating layer around the edges, to protect the wooden floor board from the heat of the heater.

Then the template plate was screwed on, and on top there was placed another layer of the fireproof insulating material.

Then the heater was attached onto the template plate. Screws were used to attach it from underneath.

 

Air inlet and fume outlet hoses were attached underneath.

The inside air ducts will be next. Here is already one outlet mounted: left of the entrance to the bathroom.
