Putting a Summers Heat 50-SNC13 in basement

[Billy123]

A friend has a 50-SNC13 he bought and never installed. I have a finished basement with low ceilings (around 6 1/2 feet).

Could this be safely installed? Venting would have to go through the block wall and up around 20 feet.

If possible, how much would you think a install like this would run me?

How big is the room? With low ceilings, it'll be uncomfortably warm. Do you have a good way for the heat to get upstairs?

The problem you may run in to is clearance to the smoke pipe. at over 25" off the ground plus an elbow, toy have very little wiggle room on the vertical run on the smoke pipe before it dumps into the chimney

Call Englander and see if they would approve of it being installed with a proper NFPA heat shield on the ceiling. And plan on using double-wall connector pipe if Englander says it is ok.

I think I was quoted about $1800 for materials and labor for a very similar install. I bought the liner for around $600 and did the install myself. Well, with the help of my 74-year-old friend Lorraine.
