Gas Line Question

[chasineyes]

I'm contimplating putting in a garage heater. My main question is can a plumber "tap" into the furnace or water heater line instead of running a line from the main supply? My mechanical room is 20 feet from where I want to put the heater. Other than that it's 60+ feel away if they have to go the other route.

THanks!

That is how mine is done. Furnace, hot water heater, and garage furnace all coming from a manifold near the furnace.

mine was done the same way, new construction. You're good to go.

It depends on the size of the line, low or high pressure. Too many variables to answer positively.

Does anyone here know of a plumber who might be looking for a quick side job? I can run the lines and such, just need a pro to do the main hook up.
