I just wanna say, I rally appreciate how you seem to have so much patience with your guys, not rushing them unnecessarily. It’s also great that they have a knowledgeable boss around who can actually help them and answer some questions. Not making your employees sweat and get all nervous. What’s your reaction to that?
I’ve been looking forward to this video since you did the initial video. So glad they chose to replace it and not risk their lives. Great install.
Well done. Can’t wait to see the Time-lapse of the install.😀
Subscribed while I was doing research on gas boilers. After my cga-3 install, I still can't get enough of these videos!
Awesome install,super job explaining the system and answering questions..Real Pro..
Veto is great way to stay organized and quickly get to the job gone to get to the next. Thanks for the great info.
Nice clean install. Looks great!
Another beautiful steam boiler installed by Mikey pipes and crew. Been waiting all day for a new video.
Mike you and the guys killed it again love the steam installations you have a great crew very efficient and neat job 👍🏻👍🏻!
You and your crew do good looking work! Another nice install!
Mike love all of yours very clean installation and your crew
Beautiful clean job as usual 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice install. Almost felt like I was there with!
Once again Mikey pipes and crew...great work I've learned some great things from your videos...keep the video coming
After watching your videos on this gas boiler replacement, I decided to check my CO detector in my boiler room. To my surprise I realized that it was a smoke detector and not a CO detector. I am now going to order 3 new combination detectors (CO/Smoke) and install them ASAP throughout my home. I never would have thought to check my existing detector were it not for your video. Hopefully your video will inspire others to check their detectors and make sure they are not outdated and are functioning properly.
Thank you very much from a happy subscriber!
Super clean install. 👍
Definitely appreciate your videos! I love the industry I'm in and you definitely do it right. If you ain't testin you're guessin! Thanks
Great video, learned alot !!
I am amazed at the amount of steam boilers in use in your area. Here in Toronto your lucky to see any steam systems in use in residential. I’ve been doing this since 1974 and I’ve only ever worked on two steam systems in residential and the last time was in the late 70’s. Seen you “ given her the ole gundy mama” 😂😂😂 . Great job guys. Good to see Godzilla getting his work out 💪🏻. It’s still B/X cable to me. Be well guys. 👍🇨🇦
once again another great job. Mikey P you are man!!!!
I definitely strive to learn new things daily. Good advice to live by. This field is constantly evolving. It's a hard life being a super tech 😂
Looks exactly like my current boiler (but older now) and now I know and understand what needs to be done.
You are so right about testing equipment. The guy that taught me hardly used them. Awesome job, I'm gonna get me a Godzilla shirt soon.
Awesome job Mikey
Hi Mikey Pipes, as a retired M elect who plays as a stream fitter it's a joy to ride along with you on your calls. Very informative.
Another great video!
Love the wholesale angle
u guys are a well oiled machine,nice work
Nice work
Thank t for all your time an sharing knowledge,,,you make the channel worth watching,it's always interesting ,I have learned so much from you that it makes my job so much easier an less stressful,,I have no schooling in air conditioning,only 11yrs on the job,,I am a maintenance man of a building,and I only change filters clean coils when it's NEEDED,change belts, determine if compasitor is bad or bad thermostat,until air- containing shows up,,I don't use shop vac to blow out clogged condensation,I use blow out gun you use,,thank you for everything,,,and most I learned from you is honesty and always treat clients with respect
THX for the TEXAS shout out!...we made it work buddy.
I've been using that Bahco wrench for over 15 years, they are great. Excellent install!
Snap on owns them great pipe wrench especially for alignments
@@MrBawston Sure, as I stated I have used them for over 15 years, in both automotive and hvacr industries. I believe the origin is from an automotive mechanic from another country who licensed them through snap on and other manufacturers. Your right excellent tool, none the less. 👍
Good Job Mikey Pipes. Steve's a copper guy, Iron pipe looks a lot better. Wonderful that you go over the instructions with the homeowner, refresh their memories.
Nice fast safe install
Never worked on a steam system. Ripped out a few old one pipe gravity systems that look a bit similar. Enjoying watching and learning from the videos. Be cool to see a full system walk around showing the old cast iron radiators and how they're piped up. Like to hear how the steam circulates/vents and differences with wet/dry returns. All the best
Good Job Son Well Done
I use all bahco adjustables spanner’s and grips (wrenches) I love them so glad someone sent you a pair to try out they do some cool stuff especially here in the UK keep up the great work guys loving the videos
Your a hell of a boiler guy I love your personality you and Steve Lav are great
Nice Job
Gave it the good ol Steve Lav " How ya doin Momma" lol
Nice to see a guy using tape dope and pipe dope.
You got Steven mad !
I used your trick today on fighting gas piping replace my first low water cut off and of course I broke the treads inside bushing
Nice valve tags!!
Noce work guys! I have been noticing that godzilla is learning alot more. Mikey, appreciate you being a good teacher. Being Hvac owner/operator myself, one of my greatest joy is teaching the young guys what i know. Godzilla, sooner or layer will be a top tech! Goodluck
MAN handle those sections
You are awesome. You are my teacher
That's funny brought to you by Value Tester's ! 🤗🤗🤗
Damn we going hit a million bro
Good Work. We do call it BX here in Toronto so your saying it correctly. MC is the same thing
Yo Mikey Pipes!! New sub here. Love the videos and your whole LI way of explaining shit. Graduated from Lynbrook in 88. Love seeing the town in your videos. Miss the area. I’m in same trade out in the Hampton’s but id rather be out west. Fuhgetaboutit.
Mike ya had me laughing with the lack of test holes in the flue pipe. When I was called in to check a new boiler install I asked how the oil man tested the burner. The home owner said ,"THE GUY JUST LOOKS AT THE FLAME". Ya can't fix stupid !
Stay safe 👍
Another Fine looking steam boiler relacement job completed by Mikey Pipes & his Awesome crew. I began in this trade in 1980 with my Father's plumbing company. I'm now age 54 and I'm now employed by another plumbing contractor titled as their top hydronic heat expert/installer. My question is, why do you connect the cold water feed to the hot cast iron rear section of the boiler instead of piping it to the tempered wet return condensate?
My Father always uses, a Black red headed step child.
Armored cable, or BX, first appeared in the 1903 NEC, but did not start becoming popular until around 1930, and is still a popular wiring method today.
Nice!
Hey Mikey pipes. The Wago lever nuts I was telling you about are rated at 600 V up to 32 A they provide a better connection when tested compared to wire nuts. That’s why I use them :-)
Great install. In my area in ct we have a ton of oil boilers and furnaces. Oil doesn't have to be as dirty as you might think if you set it up with test equipment
Mike don't know how to work on oil like steve...lol..
Limited knowledge!!!!!
Mikey & Godzilla knock out a steam boiler before lunch .
Its makes u feel like part of the
Pipe Dr. team , " She's ah carbonizer Moma" always good to see the master plumber pass on the honed skillset to the journeyman. Also brings me back to my 1st boiler replacement. Dragging those cast iron sections were tough.
Godzilla, did great with the new Bahco,I'm telling ya,once you get your next one,you'll really like them.
I give props to any plumber that knows wiring boilers.....I sure know how to pipe them immaculate but got no clue on wiring
I heard. You mention the conduit . I started doing it a few boilers ago . Def gives thee boiler a. Nice clean look . I also believe it’s code .
Nice Install
Greetings From one of the 30,7 percenters
Hey Mike, your absolutely right, you can never clean a sooted boiler and expect it to be good/safe after. I had one several years back that was sooted with over 3000ppm CO. The customer was the daughter of a manager and he thought he can be cleaned "no problem". Well, my self and my co-worker spent 6 hours, with the manager present cleaning the darn thing, and guess what? still had 500ppm of CO. In the end, I was right--new boiler needed to be installed no matter what you did. That is why it is essential to maintain your gas appliances yearly--especially gas fired boilers in our area! Great video and education as always Mike!!
Wago connectors have became very popular here in the UK for electricians and plumbers instead of the traditional wiring connector blocks they can be used for stranded or solid copper cable according to the specs and good for upto 450v at 32amps but uk electrics are 240v in residential homes
Bahco.. im a tool geek I gotta get me one of those!
Amazing videos , wouldn't know much about hvac/plumbing without youtube. Stuck with a bad company who put me on my own doing furnace/boiler repairs. If I say I can do it they just tell me to figure it out. Waiting for summer to find a new company. Company I work for is some scary shit they are doing.
Wago's are designed for the electrical industry to replace wire nuts as cables have come lose in the past. They are an industry favorite in Europe, especially when you may need to make the connection serviceable.
I was waiting 4 this video. You did say u would do it Monday....and u did!
Your like a steam boiler ninja knockin them shits out quick
Honestly i like doing boilers the best forced air furn ok but like boilers more. Looks good man . Keep up the good work n videos.
Here in the UK , we would have deep cleaned it , and inspect or change burner bars. Ensure gas control valve is adjustable and working.. check sufficient ventilation for correct combustion air . Job done 👍
Mikey i was looking forward to the livestream yesterday on UA-cam it said 5:00 est but i saw that it was earlier i watched the replay im subscribed but no notification
We only run 1" 304 stainless for our conduit instead of using BX. Instead of 2" iron pipe for our boiler installs we use proper 2" Inconel.
How did you get new steam boiler out of truck into house? Easy going in with fork lift!
The wago\press connections are fine for line voltage, but they are for solid conductors only. No stranded wire. For Stranded wire you limited to wire nuts.
Nice job.. I was curious what water additive do you use?
Hey Mike. Looks great. When you wiring the TT at the junction box on the boiler, you mentioned you were installing a wifi TT. You connected brown to white and all the blues together, what did you with the red TT wire? Then up in the ceiling you you just connected the red and white TT wire. Did you end up not installing a wifi TT?
Mikey pipes wants that Ferguson sponsorship 😭
Nice job Mikey just my 2 cents, I mentioned using a Street 90 on the Hartford loop in the past. I also would like to see the gas cock closer so I could reach it while viewing the fire. I'm also not a fan of the service switch on the ceiling. When I mentioned my Testo doesn't work in the cold, I was trying to tell you not to buy another one. I really enjoy watching your work. BTW I comment on "it isn't easy being cheesy" but he doesn't respond back.
It has been told before. The Wagos are fine on line voltage. We in Europe run 16 Amp circuits over them.
However, a well mounted wire nut is just as good if not better than a Wago. The danger with wire nuts is that most people don’t know how to mount them the right way, that is a recipe for disaster.
We are still allowed to use them, but only on solid wire.
It alway surprises me how much electric work is needed for these steam boilers. Over here you see the all in one units like the Navian heaters all the time.
Hey Mike would you do a van video showing how its set-up
Burnham America makes a really big chocolate milk machine lmao
your first elbow from the boiler looks like is installed with the outlet side is on the outside of the connecting duct. should it not be on the inside of the next duct pipe?
clean work looks good. i love watching your channel better than Steve's now lmao
Thise bacho pliers are awesome. Between those and Knipex there are no other locking pliers you need. I have Knipex from 4" to 24".
Hey Mike. When I get my boilers they come packaged. Low water cut off, glass gauge transformer are all in place. Or we can get them knocked down. Jacket off and block separate. All other part's in a box.
Peerless, Williamson, Crown all come fully assembled. Only need to hook 120 and thermostat wire. Everthing else is assembled and wired. Think Slant Fin is the same.
Gotta try out the wago connectord, old dogs need new tricks
Wonderful explanation Mikey . You are a really PRO MAN .Electrician and everything Good JOB .👌👏👏. Steve lav .pay for do the electric work. Mama! 🤣🤣🤣
I watch you to learn about gas fired boilers Mike...
Mikey pipes!! Slab is always first
@@PipeDoctor Good video man my mother-in-law’s furnace has soot all over the front face of the unit like this old families from the last video natural vent 70% er no rollout switches Burners are rusted to shit and wet no sediment trap on gas line rust flakes chipping everywhere in the heat exchanger I’m waiting for my new CO tester so I can get the numbers off this bitch to see how dangerous it is and hopefully get them to replace it. Sounds like cracked heat exchanger right?
I put a detector in the room the system is in until my tester comes in to give me the true numbers. Hasn’t beeped yet Then the next step is to get them to replace the thing. Homeowners can be so stubborn.... just let it go momma! Lived a long life momma.
"Deadly & Lethal" is like saying "Big and Large"
can you explain the hartford loop for us nimrods that never see steam boilers
Great job as usual! Mikey G is a great helper, Godzilla is learning, glad to see you change the old wing gas cock, the wing always break off those the valves, the water heater have the old wing valve guess you will change that when you change the water heater.
@@PipeDoctor Especially in an emergency you have shut the gas off and the wings break, horrible!!
Some really quality stuff, I'm an HVAC everything guy on the island myself and was just wondering if you guys were threading 2" black pipe on the job site? really impressed on getting out of there by lunchtime.
@@PipeDoctor you mean the man killer LOL i was 12 when i started carrying that thing i loved using it
Can you do a video on the orders of operations please for the different heaters.
@@PipeDoctor thank you
Can you make more video on boiler wiring, hot water boiler
Wagos are UL listed for line voltage just like wire nuts. What style of wago are you using? The push in kind? Those suck and are only good for solid wire. Go on Amazon and look up wagos, they have ones now were the wire goes in and a handle clamps it down. They’re rated for both soild and stranded wire. I’m an electrician and I love them.
You do boilers in half a day that really impressive sir I still have to solder the joints and it is a pain compared to propress.
I’ve never seen Steve Lav clean an oil boiler, furnace, water heater etc... and I’ve watched him for years. He throws in a nozzle, oil filter and may clean the pump at times and calls it good.
I also purchased the Testo 320 because of him.
You forgot the jingle jangle with the 15 year old screwdriver.
Good video...needs more stop signs
