I guess thats why you were so impressed i had a standing pilot, bc you like them. lol. My package will get to you monday, they tried sat but no one was at office. Accept it youll love it.
Thanks for your help! I recently had the gas company come out to light the pilot light for our rental house and I set the thermostat for a little warmer setting but boiler didn’t come on. I’ll bet my heater valve is set for pilot and not heat as well! I’ll check it today. Tom
Funny that i watch these on days off lol. Good apprentices that take instruction well and also have common sense are pure gold. Before i fully condemn the valves i like to hit the Tc with my small torch to see if theres ANY way it even could work... its more so a curiosity for me at that point. That gas valve got cooked out, likely during yheir basement reno due to dirt.. that damper needs replacing too, its resistance will be high and the failure will happen on the weak part of the low voltage circuit ( looking at you windings for the gas valve solenoid ) . As the amperage ruses against the resisting liad ( like pitted dusty contacts on the damper end switch ) things heat up... till they dont. :)
I REALLY want Peter to succeed in this field, he's the kind of kid I like getting as an apprentice.Mike you should get a heap of scrap wire of different sizes,so Peter can practice his electrical terminations.
I love the standing pilot I converted most of my electronics furnaces on my buildings with manual standing pilot and for years they still run like a champ I got tired of the electronics going bad at the worst time or the coldest night they always fail now the tenants will never be without heat
My first boss always wanted the jacket top always wiped clean before leaving the job. It was impressive for the customer to see a clean boiler jacket and it wasn’t hard to do.
I give it to you, remember teaching as you are doing a service call your are going to miss things that you would not, when you are alone and observing as you check out job.
You can test the thermocouple by measuring the millivolts. Unscrew it and use two jumper wires. One goes to the end of the tcouple and the other goes to the copper pilot tube. Relight the pilot and measure the millivolts. Normally gets to 25 to 30. If it doesnt the pilot is bad. Sometimes easier than disassembling everything.
What if the second couple was defective or the pilot was just dirty and not giving enough gas heat to couple or could the Orifice been partially blocked and you could have blowed through it? I was just wondering if you have ever ran into that or even possible? Also want to say I like your name “Mikey pipes”I’m not too keen on your assistance name of “Peter Pan”. You should upgrade him to Peter Piper. I feel that would be a confidence builder for that nice young man.
Good job Mike and Pete, The low voltage wires shouldn't be in the conduit or line voltage box service disconnect, NEC code from way back, And they can put vent covers in the drywall, or install a vent from outside for air make up or O2 vent for combustion.
If they are dumb enough to pay that price, then good luck, I need to sleep at night, don't need to be tossing and turning in my bed, worried about someone knocking on my door, wanting their money back.
By the time you got to the roll out switch I'm like wth are you doin Mikey? Little rusty huh? And who else got flashbacks when Peter started removing burners, thought he was gonna get a free Uber ride home 😂
the draft hood looks ok to my eyecrometer via video. it says it should be 8" from bottom of hood to top of jacket, but many of them came short from factory, with not enough pipe from the hood to end and didn't allow for the jacket/insulation. I would look in it to be sure it doesn't have an integrated junk bimetallic strip damper that's failing to open anymore. the powered damper looks very suspect to me, more so when wiggled and hearing the end-switch click, as well as not stopping every 180 degrees. unless they modified them to make a full revolution each cycle to self clean and not stick(none that I know of, but it's possible) 🤔
I tested a thermocouple without installing all the way. 1- remove the old thermocouple from gas valve. Just part that goes into gas valve. 2- put new one in, use lighter or candle to heat the new thermocouple, you can try to light pilot , if pilot stays on , then you know that’s the issue and replace the thermocouple. 2 - threa
I went back to view the video. It looks like there was a draft damper was installed on the verticle. There is a bracket still mounted just above the hood. Someone replaced the old damper with a new damper on the horizontal. If the damper had been installed where it is now, the hood might not had to be cut@@PipeDoctor
A Lot of people are Guilty of having their Equipment in a Furnace Room and especially if the Basement is Completely Finished. Highly Recommend Air Grills.
The only thing I have in there is fiberglass pipe insulation all over the floor left over from tracing issues and now I'm going to have to lay in it. My standing pilot is not standing and I just swapped The thermal couple, now I have to go get a gas valve, The last gas valve lasted 50 years until the solenoid stopped working without getting thumped with a wrench in the fall and then It finally quit. The current gas valve is 8 years old. I think my brain says it's 3 years old but add 4 years for covid. But thanks. It's good to know that the standing pilot is only a function of the thermal couple.
Sometimes we over look the obvious. I have been guilty of this after so many service calls and go deep then switch it on after awhile.... Sometimes you need to start from scratch at check the vitals.
Hi, Mikey, I annual serviced my 37-year-old Burnham steam NG boiler 2 weeks ago and replaced the thermocouple. 10 days later no pilot. As I always have a spare coupler [they go bad at the worst time], I replaced it again, but it didn't work and I was stumped. I also noticed some rust and a piece of metal flange that wasn't there when I serviced it. I called a HVAC plumber for a service call. He looked at the new TC, and tried to light it twice, but it wouldn't stay lit. He sent me upstairs told me to put the thermostat up to 90. I was puzzled as on at 75 and on at 90 should be the same. When I returned, the pilot was staying lit. I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, so I didn't ask him what he did [rapped on the valve] to get it to stay lit. After 4 hours of YT videos, this makes me feel better about my abilities. There is a slight dripping under pressure - any impressions on a quality replacement? He told me it might last 2-5 more years.
@@PipeDoctor not at all doc. You covered it on the video very well. I usually don’t comment on things the doctor already covered. But yea contractor put up walls they never take it into account
Hello Mike, you make mention of it not being OK to mix the high and low voltage in the same J box but it is actually OK. It’s got more to do with the insulation class on the wire. As long as the insulation class meets or exceeds the maximum voltage to be seen in that J box or conduit it is fine, as for example if you were to use THHN on the low voltage in the box with high and low voltage, it would be fine and per code. Also maybe show Peter on how to check DC millivolt for thermocouple troubleshooting.
the thermostat wiring entering/passing through a line voltage box is a violation itself, because it's "class 2 low voltage wiring", which is not rated for, nor ever enter line voltage areas. yes, even though some has been rated up to 300 volts max, it's still a violation. it would need a box divider, a separate nipple connected box or the transition splice done outside the jbox, then it would still be an violation at the jbox on boiler. that's same reason condensers and most equipment have a small compartment just for low voltage wiring to be spliced and then internal wiring is different, where it's allowed to be in close proximity. also, it may still be against local state, city, town and other codes. they always override national code with greater restrictions, some overrule it by using older code base though.
Love it milivolt tech 101. Very old, but pretty robust 80% safety system. Very inexpensive parts. I remember when electronic igniter s happened. They were so unreliable for years. AND parts were outrageous costly.
I don’t mean to be critical on Peter I just know from the kids I made into union A Mechanics. He looks worth the investment, he needs more hands on to have the confidence. Good job
Good afternoon, What is the ideal temp to be set on the thermostat for the heater to work efficiently without over heating and over paying on gas bill? Thank you. Is it normal for 2 family house in Queens to pay about $650 each month on gas bill and $800plus on water bill during winter?
Hey Mikey, I spend at least an hour to 2 hrs everyday watching your vids😅, I would really appreciate if you can answer or advice my concerns. I have this boiler hydronic system with 2 zone valves since 1987 without any problem like roll out flame,,etc. it’s a Utica gas boiler m6125agbt and doesn’t have draft hood ,no spill and roll out switches. Im learning now all these safety features in your videos. Do I need to make some improvements and install all these now? Thanks in advance
You are perfectly fine. When the system is replaced you new equipment will incorporate those safety controls. I doubt you don’t have a draft diverter. It’s built in.
Mikey When you set your home air-conditioning to 66 and it's like 59 like last night, will that shorten life of compressor etc, because I hate when it's humid and 65 outside and I don't put air on cause of above concern ?? TX Mr pipes❤
get a dehumidifier? it will extract humidity and not cool the home, even heat it somewhat due to natural losses. 😉 A/C is really not meant to be ran with indoor air temp and suffers great efficiency loss.(it can cause coil icing and liquid flood-back which can kill compressor) and for sure not such low outdoor ambient temps(head pressure may be too low) which drops the total system pressure too low and may cause indoor coil icing due to refrigerant temperature being too low. some heat pump models may be OK depending on design, ideally you'd need an outdoor fan cycle switch, indoor coil temperature/ice sensor to cycle the condenser. all that said, it may work OK doing so for short periods, but again, get a dehumidifier, seal the home better and make sure bathrooms/kitchens are ventilated to help curb additional indoor humidity. also if you have aquariums, water fountains/features and whatever else indoors, you need to run dehumidifiers anyway.
I did, after you replaced the gas valve it still didn’t fire up. You started to look at the vent damper and then the video cut to you doing the combustion analysis. I was just curious. Even watched it again
pilot flame looks lazy. burners were dirty. gas valve did appear to have been flooded at one time which the manufacturer does recommend replacing if ever flooded. Over all as a teaching video not bad. and every one trains different. i was trained to never leave a unit dirty as it could result in a nuisance call back which can be hard to charge the customer for and could affect your combustion analysis. i do enjoy your video's, in my area we don't have many steam boilers they are mostly hydronic. Keep up the good work at making the trades great again!
Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. I like your podcast/social media. I guess some of your customers still checking in on you. Hmm, troubleshooting?. I don't know Mikey, but back in the day dealing with most women. I would have been replacing that old rust bucket, for a new rust bucket. Again where is the automatic feed water control? Love you buddy, jolly good show old boy, God save the King.
That mushroom vent hood looks awfully low? Some of the power-stealing thermostats caused the vent dampers to go round and round on single zone package boilers. like a steam boiler. I commented on the vent hood before you did ;)
Around 1980's to 2000 roughly, I would do a new steam boiler, turn it on and the vent damper would go round and round. The issue was the thermostat, change it out or put a relay in and the issue went away. You would see it mostly on the clock thermostats you put the pins in. @@PipeDoctor
You need to get a covid self test my friend. You sound like you have a cols coming,that's how i sounded before i popped positive,oh and i think i'm the best plumber😅😅😂

Ok I got to the end, what was the reason she didn't fire right up? Was it the damper or one of the safety switches was still disconnected?
Gas valve. Did you not watch the video??
@@PipeDoctor I watch the whole thing. She didn't fire after the valve change when you hit the er switch. You went back to the damper then cut away
@@randymathews3348 kidding me? I finished the video doing a combustion analysis on the boiler running.
@@PipeDoctor yes you did, even had your little baggie. But why didn't she fire when you hit the switch is what I'm asking Mikey
I know this video is very old but I had the same question. I was expecting it to be a bad flue damper control.
What ended up being the issue with the Vent Damper, jumped from you manually turning it to the boiler running for 5 minutes
Good job Mike and Pete, The low voltage wires shouldn't be in the conduit or line voltage box service disconnect, NEC code from way back, And they can put vent covers in the drywall, or install a vent from outside for air make up or O2 vent for combustion.
Mikey might want $16,000 dollars to bring the whole heating system up to spec.
It's not the best practice but as long as the insulation meets or exceeds the maximum voltage within the enclosure/ raceway it is allowed by NEC.
If they are dumb enough to pay that price, then good luck, I need to sleep at night, don't need to be tossing and turning in my bed, worried about someone knocking on my door, wanting their money back.

Okay. Please explain that to the inspector on my next job if I decide to mix voltages.
Mike here is the code to reference National Electric Code Article 300.3 (C) 1. Conductors of different systems when asked.
the thermostat wiring entering/passing through a line voltage box is a violation itself, because it's "class 2 low voltage wiring", which is not rated for, nor ever enter line voltage areas.
yes, even though some has been rated up to 300 volts max, it's still a violation.
it would need a box divider, a separate nipple connected box or the transition splice done outside the jbox, then it would still be an violation at the jbox on boiler.
that's same reason condensers and most equipment have a small compartment just for low voltage wiring to be spliced and then internal wiring is different, where it's allowed to be in close proximity.
also, it may still be against local state, city, town and other codes. they always override national code with greater restrictions, some overrule it by using older code base though.
They definitely can't share a conduit

Nope
get a dehumidifier? it will extract humidity and not cool the home, even heat it somewhat due to natural losses. 😉
A/C is really not meant to be ran with indoor air temp and suffers great efficiency loss.(it can cause coil icing and liquid flood-back which can kill compressor) and for sure not such low outdoor ambient temps(head pressure may be too low) which drops the total system pressure too low and may cause indoor coil icing due to refrigerant temperature being too low.
some heat pump models may be OK depending on design, ideally you'd need an outdoor fan cycle switch, indoor coil temperature/ice sensor to cycle the condenser.
all that said, it may work OK doing so for short periods, but again, get a dehumidifier, seal the home better and make sure bathrooms/kitchens are ventilated to help curb additional indoor humidity. also if you have aquariums, water fountains/features and whatever else indoors, you need to run dehumidifiers anyway.

There is no easy way to determine if the thermocouple is good without replacing it?
Yes, you test them w a meter
