For years I have been troubled over the lack of furnace heat in the potty room. I guess because it only impacts me in the winter (have to leave the door open to keep it warm) and it isn't that great a problem I have done nothing to fix it. But this year, this week in fact i got off the golf course and installed heat in the potty room. It was quite simple to do. Ordered parts on line from D&W Inc in Elkhart. 1 floor register 2 inch with damper, 1 section of 2 inch foil heater duct (had to get 25 ft) and 1, 2 inch furnace adaptor which goes in place of one of the round covers on the side of the furnace.
Hardest part of job was finding a 4 1/4 inch hole saw. Because of the way they converted the floor vent from 4 inches to 2 inches a 4 inch hole is too small and a 5 inch is too large. So cut hole in potty room, run duct to furnace make the connections and enjoy the warmth this winter. Be careful where you cut the hole in the floor, there are some spots where you can hit something. Where I put mine worked fine.
