Really nice work, great up-grades, really like the bins, since we do not have a washer or dyer in our closet off the kitchen this might just be the ticket to install such  Safe Travels Chuck |

Amish craftsmanship at it's best.  Make a hole, plant sink, done. |

The stove propane line came in the middle of shelf !! And used all kind of space in there !! Finally took the time to reroute it out of the way.   Hi there.... That's not a mistake. There is a purpose to that LOOP. It's a sediment / debris trap. This keeps your appliance burner cleaner and reduces spring light up issues. It's used on many gas appliances in different ways. May want to consider putting it back. Also, the gas line should not run along side the appliance like you made it. It should run away from the stove. The stove gets very hot at times. Don't want the tubing heating up. Danger ! Sorry. The way it was installed was correct. But you can tidy it up a bit. Michael |

Gooday !!
It was installed that way cuz it's the easiest and fastest. Took me quite a while to tiddy it up.
I get the sediment trap... It definitely was not the case here, for a trap to work sediment needs to fall out of the flow...
And for heat... Well the stove is sitting on combustible. Sooo... And the plastic covering the pipe was right at the stove before I touch anything.
But those are really good point to consider when installing/modifying propane lines.

This is why forums are sometimes a dangerous place for info.
This isn't a water line.
It's a fuel line.
You may kill someone with simple mods.
It may have been done sloppily, but the reasons I explained don't seem important to you.
To those reading this thread.
Consult your propane specialist before making any mods to fuel lines.

Well... Of course getting info from random people on the internet can be dangerous.
And that includes you ...
Let say it's critical to have a sediment trap. And you recommend to just do a bend in the line...

What are the two holes in 2 that look like they go out side? Top looks like a heater vent.

What are the two holes in 2 that look like they go out side? Top looks like a heater vent. It uses to be for the waste 1.5" ABS plumbing, that I rerouted at the far back. And for the venting, I checked the heater installation manual and it's grabbing the air from the front...   |

Sorry #3 look like outside not 2 Yup, that's for the furnace. Intake/output for the burning chamber. ABS might look close, but it just needs 5/8", which is more than the other spot where the pipe used to pass... It used to lean right on top of the furnaces. Surprisingly it really does not get hot around the furnace at all... Since all the "cold air" is rushed from all it's side and from thought the back. And I put some 90° elbow in the waste, and now I can put a drawer in there !!   |
