When I wanted to add another gas appliance to our system I put the T in the iron pipe, and I was able to lift the existing copper up enough to use the same flare. and the gas company flared a new piece of copper to go to the furnace in my shop. Is your new wall heater safe for continuous use in a living space? Be careful!
