Can I inset the heater into a wall cavity made up of Dry Wall and wood studs? It would be inset about 1/2 - 2/3 of the depth of the heater and have about 6"-8" of space between the side wall and bottom wall and of course be mounted to the back.

What is needed to connect a 20 pound propane tank
1 answer-

For this heater you'll need a low-pressure propane regulator and a hose. We recommend the F273684 kit, but any matching hose and regulator will do.

Does this heater have a hose? If not what fitting or hose does it need? Does it have an internal pressure regulator or does the hose need a regulator?
1 answer-
ProductExpert18· 8 months ago
This heater will need a hose. If you're running it on natural gas, you will likely not need a regulator, but propane will require a low-pressure regulator. We recommend the F273684 kit for this, but any hose and low-pressure propane regulator would work.
