Where should I put my natural gas line?

Hey RIU,

My flower room is pretty close to complete and I'm ordering and installing a NG 8 Burner C02 Generator and Controller. My question to you guys/gals is where should I run my natural gas line?

Sorry about the small pic. Should I install my generator at point A behind my Swamp Cooler so the Swamp cooler blows the C02 across the room, or should I install it at point B pretty much center of my plants? The swamp cooler is a non-scrubber model that puts out some serious air. I also chose that controller because I am running an evaporated cooler (perfect for California) and I would have to hard wire the pump to fancier controller for it to be super effective. We all know C02 is awesome but i especially want to get it because the room can get to 85-87 degrees on days that it's 100+ outside. Anyway, can you guys see a huge design flaw with placing it behind the Swamp Cooler or should I just textbook it and place it in the center of the grow room? I understand that C02 is heavier than air but the swamp cooler has adjustable louvers and I can point it upward. On the same wall as the SC there will be a couple of wall mounted fans pointing in the direction of the intake/scrubber/canopy level. The intake/scrubber will be on a timer to run maybe 5 minutes out of every hour to purge the room of these glorious smells that our ladies produce. I also figured that running the C02 Generator behind the SC will help cool the hot spot the C02 generator is going to produce. Anyone ever try a set-up like I'm describing or have any input as to what I should do?

P.S. I have my grow in my signature if you want to check it out or follow the progress :)
 
I would put it where your talking about. But, i would also put a fan/filter combo standing up in the middle of that room. It helps with smell, and forces co2 from the floor up and onto the plants. Every sealed room we do, we use fan/filters on the floor. 8"fan/filter per 4k's.
 
Oh yeah, btw, dumping your room every so often is a good idea. Even though won't technically be "sealed" anymore, it really helps eliminate a bunch of fantom problems.

Thanks for the response Aero,
Putting the combo in the center of the room is a pretty good idea but i chose not to just because of the bends I thought it would create in my ducting (center of room, out to a wall the a "T" then 90s or elbows going to the lights is what I pictured). I have a 10" combo for this (my first :) grow. Thanks again for the response.
