Installing pipe work for a Propex heater

Post by Allan344 »

Im awaiting the arrival of a new propex heater for my 89 Vanagon. I intend housing it under the bed locker as is normal. Has anyone expierence of running a copper pipe from the heater to the locker behind the front seat ahead of the fridge to connect it to the existing fuel line at the cooker. I am prepared to remove the fridge but I am aprehesive of feeding the pipe through sevaral lockers/drilling holes etc. Any tips would be appreciated. Also tried uploading a pic of my other van as I havent got any of this new one as yet. Dont know if that worked either.

here's a tip... connect the pipe to the propex FIRST then at a convenient place cut it and put a compression connector in....it saves trying to see and twirl a spanner behind the Propex inside the cupboard.
The exaust goes straight down and flexi piped away to the sill.
Intake from the outside can come from any where and the intake from the inside is obvious.
T3tee is spot on B&Q have it all
