Dyna-GloRMC-FA150NGDGD, Deluxe Natural Gas Forced Air Heater, 150,000 BTU Output

Have this running off a 100' 1/2" underground line from the main. Works flawlessly. Hookup was easy. 1/2" male from the unit

I have this heating a 2500 ft² shop with 12 ft walls and the ceiling completely open to the ridge. It'll heat it from around 40° or so to 70° and probably an hour and a half or so. Typically after it's heated up we can turn it on its lowest setting and it keeps the shop warm. Meets my expectations completely

Puts out nice heat. Worked great in shed

I bought this heater to replace my propane torpedo heater in my garage so that I could get away from having to fill propane bottles all the time. Before I start.... I don’t need any reply comments telling me the dangers of using this heater indoors due to fumes, etc. I know. I open the garage door every hour or so and then close it again and I’ve never had a problem.First off, everyone needs to know that starving a gas appliance can be very dangerous. 150,000 BTUs requires a significant volume of gas. Most gas services at single family homes are about 4 to 8 ounces (.25 to .5 PSI), And gas pressure drops very quickly when you go through a hose, especially an undersized hose. Also, I would STRONGLY encourage you to call your gas company and ask them if your meter will even accommodate an additional 150,000 BTUs. On a brand new home, mine would not, and I was required to have the gas company set a new meter.Next, Ignore the suggested “often bought together” on Amazon or other sites that sell this. None of them carry a quick disconnect hose that meets the manufacturer requirements.This heater comes with connection requirements that are very difficult and expensive to comply with, especially if you are wanting to put a quick disconnect hose on your “portable” heater. The manual was very hard to use as it NEVER tells you exactly what the connection type is on the heater. Finding a fitting to get you converted to readily available hoses or thread formats will be difficult.Based on manufacturer requirements you will need to step up from the equipment installed nominal 1/2” inside diameter fitting to a minimum 3/4” inside diameter hose. This is definitely not a commercially available hose or fitting set. With a quick disconnect, shut off valve, fittings to adapt to iron pipe and the GIANT hose that would NEVER wrap around the hose cleats they provide you’ll be pushing $200 in extra parts. Furthermore you’ll likely need to get this hose made by a specialty shop that presses fittings on custom hoses.I called the manufacturer and the tech support line had no information on how one would obtain an appropriate hose for the heater. The only piece of information he gave me was that the fitting on the heater was a 3/4-16 UNF fitting. He suggested I contact their engineering department.After a week or so of trying different plumbing supply stores that carried gas pipe I ended up at a place called Alternative Hose in Boise, ID. They said they could build the hose with all the disconnects and shut offs, but they’d have to order parts, it wouldn’t be cheap, and it would look basically like the giant hydraulic hoses on a backhoe. Instead I bought a fitting from them that got me from the connection on the heater to standard 1/2” tapered pipe thread thinking with that I could step up to 3/4”. That proved to be ridiculously difficult as well. There is no easy way around it, a 3/4” inside diameter natural gas rated hose is huge, expensive, and hard to find.In the end I gave up and returned my heater, which is why I decided to share my struggles here. Hopefully I can save you the trouble.

It's not quiet but holy cow does it put out the heat. It heated my three-story house during construction. You need to have some space in front of it. It is definitely not like a kerosene unit you can stand in front of to get warm you need to stand about 10 feet away from it. If you have natural gas where you're going to be using this type of heater it's the only way to go. I tried propane you go through tanks too fast and the kerosene one always stink. Love it.

The Supply hose just caught on fire, all 12' feet. It was flat on a concrete floor, not near any heat, big flames and much black smokefrom the rubber insulator around metal core of hose. Glad I was in the shop, could of burned the house down. I'm waiting to hear fromthe MFG.

Luckily we had the availability of natural gas on a new construction job we began this winter. Roughing in new houses during the dead of winter is bad enough, but having to use propane tanks to stay warm and keep your plumbing products and power tools working well was a challenge , so this heater saved the day and money. It’s output and thermostatic control was the optimum solution.

My only issue with this heater is that the spark plug came to me with the wrong gapping. I had to take nearly the entire thing apart to fix the spark plug. It is not easily accessed.As far as the amount of heat, it is like you opened up a blast furnace. It heats my 400 sf shop in about 3 min or less. Be sure to ventilate the area good and expect the exhaust to sting your eyes a bit.

Nice light to carry and small. Great heater does the job puts out the heat, it’s a bit loud but worth it for the heat. Used it on the construction site of a house build. Great value would buy it again if needed more.
