This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).
Omgggg your a life saver man!! My husband won't let me call the neighbor to help he's not home and making look at videos. This looks exactly how mines look your step by step was awesome and life saving thank you!!
Have re lit my pilot light twice now because of your video. Thanks sooooooo much.
Thank you. This was so helpful and clear. All the other videos I found were for matchless igniters.
Thanks buddy, I can fix all sorts of problems with computers but I am a caveman when it comes to machinery. I wish you had warned me that once I flipped the dial from pilot to on there would be a whole ring that was going to light up though. It scared the jimminies out of me. :p
Lol me too
This man just saved my life
Happy to help!
Thank you for the concise instructions. I am a widower and I just successfully relit my gas water heater without killing or maiming anyone!
You're a widow, not a widower (= a man).

@@uncurlygirl She fixed it... that's the point
@@uncurlygirl why assume it was a woman though
Thanks so much! Im a single lady & was so stressed when my pilot light went put.. Your simple to the point video enabled me to do this on my own. You saved me a fortune! Wish I could cook you a turkey dinner for Thankgiving!
You can cook me 1
This is exactly what my water heater looks like. Your instructions worked perfectly! The only problem I encountered was trying to figure out how to get the interior cover back in place. I had to rotate the cover 45 degrees clockwise, feed it into place, and then rotate it back 45 degrees counter clockwise to its original orientation.
Thank you very much for your video!
Single momma here...
This video was just a lifesaver for me!!
Thank you!!
Anybody else notice he started with small matches then with movie magic they became the long ass water heater matches LOL
Oh shut it!
Thank you "ehow." My water heater is mounted 3.5 inches lower than the basement floor. I am 72 weighing in at 230 lbs.. Getting down there to light the pilot with a flexible butane lighter was cumbersome. Hold this, push that, spiders, and mice. I hate those lighters. I have no idea how I lit it, but it lit. I have been without hot water for a week now. Bird baths get old fast. I'm not touching anything until mid October when I will head south for the winter. Thanks again. Fred.
best video for this I was able to get it lit and me and the kids can take hot showers again
Thank you!!
thank u!!!! my hot water heater is so old there is no writing on it.....ur instruction was simple and straight to the point THANK U!!!
wish they taught this at school
Tell me about it
Does it HAVE to be a long match stick? One of those long fire-starter lighters would be all bad?
That’s my question too as I need to re light my water heater right now
@@AVixen94 so when I did this, it turned out I didn't need any kinds of fire starter.. the thing lit itself thank God 🙏 I sho thought I was boutta blow up the house or sumn but i didn't- good luck!!
Thank you so much. I didn't even know where the pilot light was. Following your instructions I once again have a nice roaring water heating burner.
Thank you. I can show my daughter how when she's older.
First off I love the video... Second am I the only one that caught he had a camera inside of the water heater?
First time watching it, it didn't dawn on me!!!
I was able to re-light the pilot light, but as soon as I let go of the reset button (after the full minute of warm-up time), the light immediately went back out.
SUPER VIDEO and instructions !!!
This is the exact water heater I have in my new house. My water is now cooking. Thank you sir.
Thank you for making this video. It was quick and simple and easy to follow.
I don’t know why I just watched this. I don’t need to light a water heater 😂
Whos watching this at 3am in quarantine?
Should the flame from the hot water heater be really hot.
Thank you for your help
I have a button for the spark, to light it, but I'm sure it's the same idea. If that isn't working, I need to find my long matches like that. I know we have some.
👍
Great video. I’m recently divorced and never had to do this so I was nervous but this video really makes it easy. Thanks 🙏🏽
I'm married and never had to do this, lol. Gas company came and switched my meter out... but they don't take care of pilot lights for you.
This helps out a good bit, second time ever I had to reset my heater and forgot how I did it the first time. Thank ya dude and God bless.
woohoo I was able to relit the pilot thanks for your help! How long should it take for the water to heat up???
Mine won't switch to off
Thank you, very helpful, especially since this is the Hot Water Heater we have. 🙏🙏🙏
Honestly the best video. Never even looked at my tank and was able to do it
Thank you! Just helped me get my hot shower back
Thank you thank you!!!!
Thank you SO much for posting this!!
Your video helped me out and it was straight to the point. Thank you.

Did you record this off a flip phone?
Brett Boutwell why would you find a negative angle to such a useful video? You are sad
I think we all could use a little chuckle in the world today…….I thought it was funny and would even if I was the repair guy. Tho I would say it looked more “1970’s-1980’s camcorder” to me than “flip phone” 😂😉Happiness is all about perspective ya know?
If Mr Repairman has been offended by our humor, he can say so…..I won’t be offended in the slightest.
I will even apologize for his lack of “vision” in this situation! 🤩😜✌🏻🤟🏻👍🏻
