Takes a lot of guts putting yourself out for all the trolls to analyze you. Nice job
Thanks!
Trolls are losers. I am the guru. 🏆
Viega says minimum 3 tube diameters from a soldered joint to a press fitting . It’s an eye opener reading the manual.
That's why I had the wet rag on it to keep it cool
Nice work. Sometimes you have to do what you have to to make it work. Customers are not going to pay a fortune to repipe it.
Absolutely
As always Great Job fellow Michigander!
If that expansion tank is on supply piping then your not pumping away. If it on return piping it should be reconfigured anyways. Pumping away can be confusing in a closed loop system so here's ho you know if your pumping toward or away. The path of least resistance if your pumping away or toward
Blue Dope for your pleasure..... LOL. Nice!
3 pipe diameters is the minimum clearance required to solder near any pro press fitting. I hate to sound like a keyboard commando, but both that soldering technique and the end product is atrocious. Pull your b tank out, size your tip accordingly and practice proper technique. And for the sake of avoiding cavitation, de burr that pipe!!
Could not agree more
He should have a specific deburring tool, not a box cutter. And cooling down just soldered joints with a wet towel could stress the joint for premature leaks.
Thanks for the video and your thoughts about things!
I think pump on either side if fine. Depends on previous setup
Most of the times I find circulator pumps on the return side and the system works perfectly.
Like you said sometimes you do what you have to do, at the end of the day what it matters is a happy customer
@Supa Trending Daily damn you just going keep stealing dans words out his book smh
6 of one half dozen of the other.
Nice video real life plumbing in motion no edit that solder joint was shit bad spot anyway 😂but long as it ain’t a leaker mama good content once again keep it up
I got a 1992 dunkirk boiler. my circulator pump is on the return side of my 24 port Zone valves ( gate and or ball valves). my expansion tank, air separator and fill inlet is all on the out side.
They do make a propress air separator but it costs $2000.
i put circulators on the return and I've never ever have had problems and i service most of my installs
I get it,pump away from the boiler,decreased pressure zone,blah blah blah,I have seen boilers 40 years old that are according to today's standards piped backwards,well WTF it has worked for 40 years!
@Supa Trending Daily can you explain how it makes the boiler rot faster?
I'm not saying I put them on return,I alway follow manufacturers recommended piping configuration,but I've seen tons of really old boilers that had pumps on returns! By rights,once you have eliminated air from a system,you should have very little air in the system,only when you make up water will you reintroduce air.If you are making up water in a closed loop,there is another issue.Not arguing a point or saying anyone is a hack,just saying that alot of the systems that go against modern practices,are indeed still up and running after many years,don't make it right but they are with very little repairs over the years.
@@pelon542 man I bet that boy never installed a boiler in his life how his fighting arguments is a Dan heating help link he literally reading off word for word lines out of Dans book and believe me
I have every single one pumping away, EDR etc he probably never picked up a wrench in his life 😂😂😂
@@petersmart1999 don’t listen to that bum he a UA-cam heating guy word for word that’s all over heating help dans channel and I’ve met that man personally had convos with Mr.Holohan he will tell you himself he never was hands on just knows heating and return piping supply piping at the end all preference it’ll still work fine
Those lead free larger units are a bitch with Map and #11 . Really better using acetylene rig I think.
A California plumber here, I went to a pinhole leak on a 3/4” recirculating line tonight. I clamped it and I’m going back in the morning. I was concerned that if I soldered I was going to melt the o-ring in the press fitting that was 1’ away from the repair. After I seen your video I feel 100 better that the press fitting will serve lol. Keep up the hard work with the videos
Just keep it cool and you should be fine. Good luck
@@MiHeatingGuy I soldered it and I went about 4” away from press coupling. I wrapped it with a wet rag lol no leaks
my pump is on return side but i see they want them on the supply side now. who knows. it works fine and that is all that matters. good job.
Return water is cooler, not as much abuse. Try Sanding the flat surface of the fitting your working on, helps draw the solder to it . That BURR inside the pipe has tendency to hold water, Steamer. W
Sloppy,? Can't see it from my house.
Ted Cook (AntiDIY HVAC) is even worse. He’s always muttering something that is barely audible.
What's wrong with reaming pipe??
I though air seperators have to be minimum of 18 inches away from an elbow?
Buy yourself a Yellow Jacket cutter,2.5 times around and done!
Need that grinder without a guard like the New Bedford Flash. :) Seriously, thx.
Hi there how are you doing hope everything is going well with you and your family.
Just wondering if you can help me out buy doing a pipe layout for a combo boiler 240/130
What i have now is a hot water tank and a boiler for radiator and one floor loop can you please give a layout step by step like the location for each device like air alimentary, expansion tank ect, ,,,, and also the floor loop
Thank you

Nice job. Interesting video.
I just have to ask aren't you a little close to the rubber in the pro press fittings
I truly dislike pro press, if I come across it in service, I'll cut it back out as far from the appliance as I can. I may be old school, but I think of the next guy....could be you!
@@melarky8555 I'm old school as well I think pro press might have it's place but I'll keep soldering
Hey Mi Heating Guy , im a second year plumber and just curious why you wipe flux on the hot solder after you apply the solder.
Good job
Good video
How do they push air out but now water
old blk berd y u not do that last week wen u where ther
Pump on the return is fine. Gate valve are junk though, ball valves are better. Js
100% agree
Come on,who doesn't love the feeling of the valve spool just spinning and spinning on a gate valve you desperately need to close!
Move tank and air trap before pump
Well what i would have done was hahaha good job looks good to me !! Cya
I'm gonna buy you a microphone. I can't hear you.
I have 2 inch piping and 2 inch inlet and outlet on the boiler. I only have 1 1/2 air scoop. Can i reduce in and incease out? Will that work
You have to know the heat loss calculation. Then look up the btu capacity of the pipe size for the specific boiler manifolds.
Pipe it right! Don't give us the crap about CANT. NEVER justify bad work by saying the client is happy. Yeah there happy cause they don't know any better. Wait until I get into that home and educate that client. You'll end up repiping it for free or loose your bond.
Do you like taco air separator or spirovent better?
spirovent or honeywell, This is just what i had at the shop
I’m a big fan of the Caleffi Discal which also comes in propress
Nice
I like the spirovents they're solid; I find alot of the honeywell supervents clogged with gunk in that cube. The taco one seems alright
Sloppy. You said it.
That is one horrible soldering job
Watching that flame go from blue, green, yellow... just toasted it
True no wonder he used pro press fitting for all the other joints 😀
No adjustable crescent wrench available for that brass plug your malling it all to hell!
He knows. Watched lots of his videos. He is intelligent. If you are gentle then nothing to worry about
your not brazing...your soldering..jezzy peezzy
1st one on comment good 👍 job
This was a painful video to watch.
would not hire this guy to install an undersink water filter. Poor pipe prep, poor soldering techniques and the air seprarator should be at least 18" from the elbow.
Should have moved the low water cutt-off closer to elbow and air seperator farther out from elbow.
Maybe you should read the instruction of what I installed You obviously don't work in the field
