Listen, guys,let's not pretend this was a great job,it is what it is,a total afterthought, nothing was right,a BFM,it's in ,it's safe,I hope,I hope learned a lot,and have a better understanding of these units. Do I like them? NO,I totally prefer an electric tank type water heater. Gas is a different story, but they are also not problem free. Just so I'm clear 😂😂😂😂😂
Good job stickin wit it Johnny. Is that a temu water heater?those rheem 4 barrel electric are the shnizznizzle my sizzle. You can corner the market sunshine
I watch all your videos Johnny As a Union electrician there needs to be connectors on that liquid tight . The electrician will need to shorten the liquid tight and put connectors on The homeowner needs to have him come back . I realize you needed to get it up and running to test it and make sure all is good .
That needs liquid tight connectors where the electric goes into the bottom of the unit. Loosen top conduit connector at box pull down amount you need to cut off then push it back up and install the bottom connectors
were is ur clamps for the wires so they can't move and be yanked out from the unit. there should be 2 clamps just like there is on the shut off boxes. it also protects the wire from rubbing on the metal. just like at the power panel u don't just shove the wires loosely though the holes u need to put a clamp on each one to prevent the wires from rubbing on the hole.
@mraaron1584 i do not stock electrical supplies,I told him to tell the electrician to leave me what I would need,and he didn't leave any. I do believe they are the type that can be put in after. But to be honest,those heavy ass wires aren't going anywhere,will never be a problem,I'd bet on that
@@johnphillipsplumbing7148 its more of a code thing if an inspector saw that they would be busting ur ass and making u fix it. but u never know to if some kid was playin around there and grabbed one of the wires and yanked on it they could pull it out without the clamp the only thing really holding it in there is the screws holding the wires in place. the electrician should have left a couple or ud think they would have came with the unit but i guess they just expect u to know what u need.
Yo johny Wheres your pressure relief valve? Without using a flush valves kit u took away a main safety device if something happens that lawyer may be the new owner of your house and Airbnb
Johnny…that heater is still not hooked up correctly on the Electrical side. The feed side of those disconnects need to be landed on 2 separate 2 pole GFCI. 40 amp breakers in main panel ( reference page 12 of electrical specifications ). If both lines are connected to 1 45 amp double pole breaker that handle will trip in main panel on hi demand of hot water usage. Connectors on the liquid tight is a must, and if there is ever a next time. Use a bug nut on 2 grounds with a mastic pad and land 1 number 8 ground to that single ground terminal on heater.👍 Johnny’s installing tankless.👊🏼😂
@RonSciara damn,I was all out of bug nuts,needle dick the bug fucker told me I was out of them,but I forgot. Next time. Thanks for your insights brother, plumbers should stick to plumbing.
I am not crazy about them either. poor recovery. Expensive way to heat hot water ? Would think it would have poor pressure. Is there a flow restrictor ? It would have been good to have electrician come back to run lines to it not knowing how much cable needed for connection. You did the best you could with what you had to work with. Looks good Johnny. That conduit is pretty stiff. Hard to make the bend. I might have dropped the CPVC pipes towards the floor and let the flex supplies hang straight down and anchor the CPVC pipes to the wall. No stress to flex lines or CPVC . Might look weird, tight spot to work in. The tip covers your materials. I was surprised the heater kept up with multiple faucets running.
@anthonylapierre6011 I'm not a fan of tankless,if I never see another one in my life,it wouldn't bother me. JUST A WORTHLESS PAIN IN THE ASS,in my humble opinion,😆 🤣 😂
@@johnphillipsplumbing7148 I am guessing that he is referring to the fact that you didn’t secure the flexible conduit (liquid tight) to the water heater frame using the appropriate liquid tight fittings. Note the fittings where the conduit exits the electrical disconnect boxes above the water heater. The conduit should not have entered the water heater “box”, only the individual wires. Easy thing to fix, though.
so silly what happened to kiss keep it simple stupid everything so complex and its great until you have to fix it maybe efficient but reliability isnt there

You did good Johnny don’t underestimate your ability. You did better then Mikey piped !!
Great job uncle John, I love my tankless water heaters. Got a gas 1 and 1 electric in another home.
I watch all your videos Johnny

Awesome video Johnny keep up the great work 👍
John, check out the video: how to install a whole house electric tankless water heater - thermomate 27 kw. It gets into the electrical side of stuff.
@@vince6829 it's funny you suggested that video,I watched it the other night 😆 🤣
Good video,very informative,thanks
I found it very informative too. Have a good night.
Hi. That main display is the current set point, not the current temperature of the hot water running through all those fixtures. Love you Johnny.

Great video John, very informative! Your truly a credit to our trade!
We are all learning together. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Good Job !
Great job Johnny Sunshine
had a Stiebel Eltron Tempra 24 Plus -Whole House Tankless Water Heater 24KW put in 1 year ago, $700 unit, $300 install. love it so far.
@nellomichi6416 there must have already been one there.
24kw has three breakers ,3 wires,that's not cheap!
Hey brother,
The tempra 24 has two dual pole 50 amp breakers. With 150 amp service panels.
Yes sir
Awesome video
Based on setpoint they will adjust GPM to maintain temperature.
Did H/O order that thing off Temu?
It's a Stieble? Wow. Them Germans make decent point of use but I haven't seent these b4
Yes,it's supposed to be one of the best. No he didn't get it from TEMU
remember to turn off the unit before you drain it out lol
Good job johnny there only a matter of time before your a pro ? put the fries in the bag on this one broski

There’s a hot shot plumber from New York has that Rheem unit in his shop. Ask what he thinks of it.
@@Steve-bm2zm one bath,in a shop,it probably does a good job.
Electric tankless are complete garbage
I love mine. Had it for 5 years no problems.
It's obvious he did not hire electrician to do work
Can you elaborate, please

Hello family
@@eddiehollner8801 HELLO 👋
I can almost bet that that homeowner will never flush that unit just got a gut feeling
@FHES2005 you are correct, he said he'd call me,next year.
so silly what happened to kiss keep it simple stupid everything so complex and its great until you have to fix it maybe efficient but reliability isnt there
@@38mullet I agree,nobody is taking my tank type water heater
@@johnphillipsplumbing7148it seems like President Biden has different ideas for tank type water heaters 😂😂😂
