How much carbon monoxide should a pilot light on a ventless gas fireplace give off that would be measurable?

Massachusetts and California for sure but you will need to check. Use GOOGLE.

How much carbon monoxide should a pilot light on a ventless gas fireplace give off that would be measurable? Use Google to find a manufactures site and your answer might be there.

Sounds like you are doing homework.

Rarely. I do remember having to swedge copper with a manual swegging tool and a hammer. Lol.

We stlii have a manual tool which I demo but Imperial Eastman sent me a nice hydrolic unit to play with. Much easier to use and the bender is easier and more compact that the old style. Just got to love them tool.

Yeah I saw the ratcheting swegger. I thought about picking one up but haven't been able to justify buying one. I will tell you about the new Milwaukee impact I just picked up. I bought the 12V Li-Ion driver but kept breaking the brake, the impact has torque for days!

Ventless are not allowed in Montana, at least we are not allowed to install them, but the homeowner can do as they please.

Would be interested in a link to the hydralic swedge tool, does it also serve to flare?

This is not the hydrolic one but this works well. I will see if I can find the hydrolic tool.

Wow, the imperial looks just like a wirsbo tool(used for wirsbo water pipe) Makes sense, seems like it would work very well for swaging

The first link is more along what I was referring to except it was the Ritchie/Yellow Jacket version.
