Beautiful job nice to see craftsmanship in its finest form 31 yrs here in the same trades.kudos to you guys . Awesome job .
Godzilla cackling at Kelvin (25:33) is fuck'n hilarious! He seems like a cool guy to work with. No ego, no drama, no bullshit, just working in a groove with the team, having fun and getting shit done! Guys like that are a rare breed these days but when your actually fortunate to work with one, they do wonders for morale and make you push yourself to do a better job. Much luck and success Steven.
Im an electrical engineer and the wiring looks simple..... Now getting all that piping correct and with all the right fittings would be a nightmare for me. Mad respect to you guys
You guys are doing a great job , brings back a lot of memories doing boiler job when I did when I lived in New Jersey’s. I live in South Carolina and Consider water heaters boilers down here.
Mike great video, very informative, the wiring of the boiler, good stuff.
St. Mike for sure ! Great job as always!
You got Lionel Ritchie working hard! Haha
Nice job guys! Great team u got. Appreciate the videos.
Good job, I like it. Que bueno que el dueño de la compañía le ha dado trabajo a los dos muchachos hispanos y que bueno porque se ve que les explica y les enseña como se hace el trabajo.
Mike, Another Quality install by you and your Men........you guys work well as a team, busting Brass Nuts and all! 🤣
God damn another job well done.
Yeah have to be hard on an apprentice wanted to clock my mentor a few times but today I am a good diesel mechanic licensed since 1991.
Damn that's alot of work.
George the plumber here teach these kids about wick n dope bro nice job
Great Job!! Kelvin is becoming a Plumbing Beast.. Haha!!!
Hey Mike, I love the way you give to do it yourselfers its incredible and thanks. I have only one question on the Burnham V8H3WT-TBWF what is the best way to hook up the water supply feed, above or below the return circulating pump? Ed from Mass.
kelvin is greener than the grinch
Viega male adaptors are brass. Can connect to black fittings.
Always hold back with the stronger wrench
Is that Calvin working in real time and everyone else just slowed down to not make him feel bad 😳😳😳🇨🇦
Nice work, can you tell me why you do it put a thermal loop in the hot water outlet to reduce heat loss? Significant energy savings here unless you want to warm the basement area..
Tough love for kelvin😂
Mike you got to get those new Milwaukee 6 in 1 electrician pliers
have you tried megapress? Would make quick work of that gas pipe.
Would recommend large pipe dope containers. Forget the brush. Use gloved finger. Much quicker. Rub gloves together when done. Won't leave a trail.
How would you guys get rid of the 2inch steam pipe with that absetas
Damn I wanted to see that thing fire up!
Not too keen on using those big red wire nuts for the transformer primary and the neutral then taping the shit out of em.
I switched to True Blue dope, hardly use tape much anymore,unless it has me worried from the start,that shit is money!
Rectorseal True Blue,it's basically good for everything,except ammonia and O2
@@jeffreyjohn2037 ABSOLUTELY, I've watched guys pipe up entire fue l line systems, #2 diesel with Rectorseal #5,and had numerous leaks and then say what should we have used,Gasoila! It's especially good for fuel!
Hey dude I know you like efficiency so check out the Wago lever nuts
That slow motion part was really creepy and I had to watch the movie 300 to get my courage back witch kept me up late and lost sleep. But I'm better now.
Mike do you hiring need job like trade hvac and heat boiler
I have an IN8. Spins the meter pretty good. That IN4 looks tiny. :)
@@PipeDoctor Correct! Having a bigger boiler will NOT make a house warmer any quicker. Oversizing a little is ok, NOT 3 times though. It's all about how much radiation is available, and of course the actual heat loss.
George from Greenwich CT
Diablo heavy metal sawzall blades will cut anything. Including cast iron fittings. Without sparks and much safer.
I’ll take Kelvin for a assistant any day
do you still use different wire nuts or do yo use the new universal blue ones?
Get the mega press to do your gas lines
do you like using megapress on stuff like this?
I like to dog ear my electrical tape so I can unwind it if I need to replace the transformer. Steve knew that Mike
how do you know if you need a liner?
dude we wanna see the initial fire up!!!!!!!!!!!!! c'mon man! lol
Drip legs are still required?
Hi Mike, I’ve installed boilers before but never a condensing boiler I’ve got a few questions, can I email you, I’m outta Michigan
No safety glasses when using grinder?
Coupling is nicer looking. Installer note: no tools on top of jacket. Cover with old towel to protect.
Kelvin I’ll say it for you “ he was being a dick “. But don’t take it personal. It builds character.
mount boilers and tanks on 4” solid blocks first then level ( makes servicing easier ) and helps prevent flood damage.
Hey Mikey have you ever heard the term. “ Chinese header “ but it is what is.
It means to many fittings from header to tie in. It goes all over the place.
It was a insult from an old German boiler installer “Gunther”.
Voice kinda reminds me of Louis Rossmann. Just that NYC accent working through...
Beautiful work! Whats roughly the cost on something like this? I have an old oil furnace /boiler (I think American Standard a3) that I'm looking to replace.
@@PipeDoctor sending an email now! Thanks
Gas lines boiler water lines I'm guessing 6 to 7 grand I'm just guessing though
A Close nipple is required at the Hartford loop not because of sludge (possible) but as per Wallace enness engineering,
oxygen bubbles will trap across the top of nipple causing corrosion. So the right call - R cabonaro - Just saying
Sorry This answer was for Robert cabonaro not Mike. Was right call by Mike and he knows reason why it is a close nipple
I just wanted to clarify. Right is right - Wrong is wrong.
How much time did you skim ?
Kelvin, always do the gas pipe first
Hey mike. I was just wondering isn’t a drip gas leg illegal now because of that explosion that happened on 2nd Ave in Manhattan like 5 yrs back when they connected a garden hose to the drip let to run a gas line to another location of the building? I think 2 buildings were leveled
Good morning Mike I wanted to reach out to you. My email is Jonpabon47@gmail.com. Have. Great Day!
Illegal in NYC. The good Doc is on the Island.
I was on the roof of a building servicing an air handler when that building exploded. It was at Park Ave and 110th st. It was super loud. I think 3 people died.
Watching Kelvin is entertaining. He will learn by making mistakes. It seems he is more confident with the testing equipment and analyzing aspect. How much more experience does Steven have over Kelvin?
@@PipeDoctor We all start somewhere. Please remember to treat them with patience and humility
@@Beefypvp Ha ha, I served an Apprentice ship as did a few of my ancestors. When you do that you work for six months for very little money. At the 6 month mark you sign an indenture which ties you up for a few years to your master ,tradesman or what ever. I also went to trade School three days a week for 3 hours ,for three years. But at the end after 3-4 years of hard slog and low wages you become a trade certified what ever and you can get a job anywhere. My G greatather served time as a weaver. For 7 years.His indenture paper says he couldn't marry ,play cards,drink, live anywhere but his masters house, and other things ...now that was tough!. He finished his working days as a Fish Broker. ha ha
I see that shit with the shutoff a lot. I install hot water tanks for a living
Dude you have your hands full and Godzilla didn't just hand you a 5/16" ,dude put it in the chuck! Keeper
Your Kelvin looks like he was eating goofballs...oh no, they don't make them anymore in the US. Very funny slow motion.
I think Kelvin needs to more time to learn 🤪
2:59 Ladies! He’s single! 👍😂
Yes I don’t usually don’t wear glasses either when using my grinder, if guide is blocking my eyes. It is a bad habit
But I don’t smoke.
23:40 I’m laughing out loud…. Funny. Group home……😭😭😭😭😭
Blue monster
Primero Dios un día yo pueda trabajar con un americano así también, yo hago a/c también.
If I was your customer, I would be ticked off to see your crew dropping their heavy wrenches and spare parts on top of the brand new boiler, without protecting it with cardboard or something to keep it from getting all scratched up on day one.
Supply house .com is awesome! You guys do pretty good too.
Geez, a normal person could've hooked up 5 water heaters in the amount of time it took Kelvin to do one lol.
great Job!! but, PPE wuth the grinder!! ive had cutoff wheels explode more than once and shards bast away from the guard.. I like your vids more than steve lav.. Subbing to this channel it rocks
have kelvin do the gas pipe to boiler, I have the next 7 hours free to watch
I have to mention Supplyhouse.com is also a great resource for downloadable service manuals
mikes supplyhouse.com game is strong
The gas meter looks under rated with 1/2” inlet and outlet
have trained and worked with hundreds of tradesman over the years and I'm saying Calvin ain't going to make it, his mind is not into it, he works like the judge told him to get a job no like he wants to be there
Seems Like Calvin gets yelled at in real time and Steve gets yelled at in s l o w Motion. Won't the Surgemaster clot if you add it before the water gets hot or goes in? The group home Let you OUT, didn't they?
@@PipeDoctor ok Mikey Thank you
Mega press now
They don’t play with threads anymore
Here's something, set the transformer on top of the boiler instead of hanging...
LMAO KELVIN
Not really important to properly orient the screws. You could always remove the screws and move them. There are 4 female screw spots. Just make sure the "square" is properly oriented.

Why we never see your mug are you camera shy? Put the camera on a tripod!
If you are doing this job in NY you a not doing the right job
You need a mixing valve on the water heater and u must line the chimney
The thumbnail ha
@ 7:40 slow motion of all the crap you guys are breathing in
@ 23:21 no! you always use the more stout or large wrench to back up. Never tighten a pipe with a pipe wrench and back up with channel. Come on man if your gonna give him stuff at least teach him the right way! Common knowledge.
Give Kelvin a break. He's learning and your making him feel like shit in front of so many people. Love your videos but when you bust on him like that I loose a little respect.
You have a man running a grinder with no protection
Maybe un subscribe now
I cant see catastrophe knowing its a matter of time
Your on video ppe is important
Not everyone is an expert, talk to your guys with a little more dignity and respect.
