In this video I close-up the wiring boxes, trim the zip ties, put the side back on the unit, plumb the unit in both directions, then make the diagonal bracing. On the sides, I make long braces spanning between the vertical drop legs, and on the front and back I make shorter braces that go between the drop legs and the bracket on the garage heater.
I cut all of the bracing with a cut-off blade on the angle grinder then radius the ends for a cleaner look and to keep things smooth. Everything was bolted in place with 5/16" hardware and split lock washers were used to keep everything tight. While I was installing these braces, I went over every nut and bolt on the hangers and made sure that every one of them was tight.
The heater itself is completely done, but I still have to add a condensate drain, wrap the thimble with a ceramic blanket then insulate the area around it, caulk the boot with high temp silicone, and eventually create an opening in the wall when that goes in to go around the flue. 😊
