Catalytic Heater Install
I'm going to be installing a Wave 8 catalytic heater in my fifth wheel and am aware of concerns and cautions concerning oxygen depletion, moisture condensation, propane leaks, and the need to protect ...

I will definitely have a shut off valve on the supply to the heater.
On the quick connect fittings, my trailer has one on the outside for a grill. I'm queasy about the QC's, but it sure would be nice to have a heater that could be moved from living room to bathroom. So I need a hose. And the QC's would make it easier to remove the hose when not in use. Thus my question about quality propane QC's - anybody know? Thanks for the Sturgis link.
We would need the catalytic heater at most for two or three weeks a year. Since the catalyst pad needs to be isolated from dust, I think a portable heater that can be completely stowed in a plastic bag would be best for us.
Certainly I would not like to wake up when dead, as I don't like to eat brains. :E
I think that the Platinum Cat is the best heater for permanent install, but I want mine portable.
New question, if I tee off the 3/8" line going to my 30,000 BTU Atwood heater, would there be enough propane supply from the 3/8 inch line to supply the catalytic heater?
