Un curso porfavor

I thought your supposed to flip the check valve and test against the check valve

Obviously your unit is about wore out hi amps n capacitor all old the generator people should of put that on there when installed

Puedes!! subtitularlo en español

is that the proper head wrench ;)

I put a link in the description if you want to learn more about Inspect Point. Thanks for watching!

Nice video Doc!

That's some intuitive software you're using 😏

😊👍🏻

good

Absolutely love your content...keep up the good work, learning a bunch..

Good install. I've had one for a couple years that I installed on a 4-ton Goodman. Installation instructions were very straightforward. Tested with my Duromax 13000 EH (10,500) portable generator and it works very well. Using a portable for whole-house is another topic. Micro-Aire does have excellent customer support through Hutch Mountain if you have any questions regarding install for your particular unit, and although the app seems limited (connection and live data only accessible during call for cooling), if you send diagnostic data they are right on it. I also enjoyed the screw drop response; happens to the best of us. You did everything right (for a fire sprinkler tech haha. Don't be so hard on yourself). Good call with the cap discharge and terminal cleaning. For everyone reading, you need to purchase a replacement capacitor. I have replaced mine (and a backup) and it is very easy, cheap, and they DO fail (probably the first component to fail). If you are doing this install, just go ahead and replace your Start/Run cap at the same time. I noticed that you have an outdoor home surface that prevents this, but as a side note if some of you have siding/framework to attach the EasyStart to on the house, this might be better for at least three reasons: 1. vibration from the condenser unit 2. if you need to replace your condenser, this EasyStart is not attached to it (OOPS! forgot about that soft-start). Just need to run some seal-tite and possibly extra conductors from the condenser panel to the wall where the unit is attached. For me, the included cord was run through seal-tite and the conductors were plenty long enough. 3. you can view the indicator lights on the unit in case of fault through the clear plastic cover that is attached to the wall, rather than hidden. This may be helpful for some in case there is an issue. This case is waterproof (do not open), and it really will not be better protected whilst trying to fit it into the electrical enclosure for your condenser. And that can be a pain in the butt all by itself. Not necessary to fit this large unit on the condenser itself, as long as you ensure waterproof conductor installation. Another side note for those with older condenser compressors with suspect terminals at the pecker (S, R, C), I used a kit that works very well for this purpose, and I recommend it. Also requires good cleaning of what's left of your terminals if they are degraded. Hope this helps some: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TFK4587/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also, always clean your condenser coils by shield disassembly and regular hose pressure from inside out once a year!

Likely the highest area for a potential fire so you don't flood the whole building in the event of a more likely fire.

isn't that a redundant system? If the other sprinklers fail this will still work?

Nows time to run a hose off that, overhead gerbal feeder water tube

Wires touching the metal pipe wouldn't pass in my area.

Probably has to do with whats directly under it and them initially not wanting it wet unless the building is hit by a plane

They were under strict instructions not to bring back extra material.

Past Chemical shower area?

Thank you for making this 💯

Hi I got a question maybe you can answer as you know anti freeze is frowned upon in newi stallion and instead the advice given is dry pipe my question to you is I. Know a hose can be attached to a sprinkler system I was wondering do you know if it's ever been done to connect a fire hose to a dry pipe sprinkler or pre action riser?

Sound like they maybe had some issues with potentially breaking that head in the past. No flow switch or drain lol. Not considered a system. If you had to shut one head off you’re getting very wet.

Thanks ! Helped a lot !

Or the sprinkler main pipe to building is completely filled with sediment. Can cause water to slowly fill the system but it won't fill quickly. Seen once.

very very detailed, practical and helpful video.

As a civil engineer, I love these videos with detailed explanations and real-world examples of how this stuff comes together. Too many of us are stuck looking at drawings and specifications, but everything makes much more sense when you can see it actually come together.

This looks familiar :)

with 2 men how long would you say it takes to complete one?

How would you pump against a storz cap? Or pump into a storz cap. I have to hydro test an FDC that has a storz. I wanted to disconnect the pipe from the FDC check valve WITHOUT draining the system. Then put a drain cap on the pipe and pump against the storz cap. Will the storz cap hold pressure or does it leak?

Great video. Nice simple explanation on how the valve works. A question if I may? I'm trying to troubleshoot a false "system charged" water flow alarm that occured on a 769 NXT valve.What could be the possible reasons that the water flow alarm would trip when the system itself has not tripped? Air pressure in the system is above 20 psi, all valves are in the correct positions etc. I did notice a tiny water leak on the low pressure actuator via the vent valve, but unsure if this could be the cause. I've charged the system with the test valve, and then discharged again afterwards via the PRV under the alarm pressure switch, but can't get the alarm to clear. Driving me nuts. I've visibly aged in the last 24 hours.

Its call obstruction investigation my friend.

When the pump on zero flow shut down the primary source of the power does not activate the secondary power source / generator? why did you need to get inside the settings of the transfer switch?

are there any downsides to using this micro air soft start?

Nice video.. with doing the five (5) year there could be many different scenarios as to accessibility to get at the check. Also what type of check valve. Learned in this business you have to CYA and also take pictures. In the fire protection industry many people don't want to spend money on something that they can't see. Then you also have contractors out there that are pipe bangers or do their inspections in the car yet there are still some honest people out there. From experience its always advisable to keep extra new couplings, a spare check, 2.5" rubber gaskets for the ones that are rotted out on the FDC.

Best thing I ever installed. I installed right before hurricane Ian in 2022 and was able to run whole house 3 ton unit. My advice would be to change capacitor and contactor while you are in there and you will be good for many years. This saves your unit from pre mature failures and the A/C companies hate it. Nice video!

Learned a lot, thank you very much Sir.

U need a helper

Thanks from Boston. I need this in my arsenal.

One thing I’m not understanding is I know a main control valve shuts water to either sections or the entire standpipe system. What I’m not understanding is sometimes I will go past normal control valves that have a tamper and a flow switch and a inspectors test, but sometimes they will have “main control” by the tamper. I don’t get how a tamper could be a main control to shit off water to standpipe? Is there something in missing? (This is for a dry system by the way)

What tool can I buy to remove it and what’s the best brand to replace white in color ?

How frequently should the compressor be going off? We have a compressor on our system that has started to run every 30 minutes for about 30-60 seconds in one building.

What’s the average price you would charge for a new hydrant installation? And I’m in Illinois basically Chicago. We also put auxiliary valves with every hydrant.

I remember when them torque safe reducers were brand new. We did a brand new 14 story building using those. The painters, finishers and carpenters damaged about 900 pendants and sidewalls by either painting the head, covered the head in mud or damaged the head with the drywall. We went back to change them I’d say about 10% of the heads wouldn’t come out. They just kept spinning inside that brass piece in the fitting. We had to cut holes in the walls and ceilings to be able to hold back to get the head out.

Lmao i always make my guys stuff a hoodie in the barrel so they dont drop the pjn like you did hahahaa

Well that amd in the case that they water mains do fail. At least you aren't finding out in an emergency.

Are the all-thread rodes stainless steel composition? Otherwise would rust out over time creating a stress point up against the TEE joint

Weep hole looks to be only 1/8"to 1/4"... Why isn't it larger to allow water to escape from the barrel faster???
