i love to see young guys eager to learn a trade
Me too.
My favorite plumbing company. Great people 👏
love install Mike . love Daniel and peter great workers they are. Another great install
Ancient stuff never gets old💪
Another amazing install great team you have built
32:03 as I was once told by a bike mechanic sometimes you got a curse a little, and try try again.😂😂😂
ANOTHER GREAT Video MP. THANKS FOR SHOWING HOW ITS DONE
Great install, Peter is definitely learning!!
Love the new uniforms...very professional.
Impressive job done on the fly . The Brothers are really coming along nicely. Can’t say enough about those press fittings. The time saved can’t be beat has to shave at least a couple hours off a job like this. That stair lift looks awkward to use and by the amount of groaning you were doing doesn’t seem any less strenuous than a regular two wheeler with a couple of guys. Good video thanks. From the old hvac guy in Toronto.👍👍🇨🇦
Great looking job and guys look great in uniforms.
Great job
Mike as always a great informative video, look forward to watch them. 👍
Im so excited to see the GoPro, just got home from my hvac job and its Friday!!
hi mike am the other pipe doctor the guys i work with call me that the stair climber you guys were using i notice you were not using the brake on the wheels going up you risks the guys on bottom of boiler pulling the boiler toward them and coming down on them would not want someone get hurt thats my number one priority no one get hurt i have been doing installs for twenty five year love your pride in your work hope this helps
Love the uniforms. Nice professional touch.
Well good old number 2 nothing like some toilet humor hope everyone had a great day and have a great tomorrow
Very very nice work!!! Professionalism at its finest!!!
You’re welcome sir!!!
😂 don’t know about professional when he’s using your door frame as support with his foot.
Guy you awesome u make this trade stand out
Gongrats Mike!
Mikey I really love your videos and I really admire your work ethic and patience. N° 1 fan🙏👍
I'm a plumber myself out of new jersey
Nice work mikey 👍🏻
The pov of you going at that 1 1/4 was epic
@@PipeDoctor really raw and uncut there lol.
That moment Mikey Pipes unlocks the sawsall blade and bangs it out like a Marine was my favorite moment. Lol
What a mother that Monster was getting out ... ........ black permatex on some of those old fittings makes it even worst ...heating the fitting with torch is like magic .. as you may know ... but more time .. I dont install anymore , take me toooooo long to do a boiler 😉 never did a ton of em anyway .. it was mostly Service America lol.... Your dear Friend is going to love the install .. great Job
First bless you for sneezing 🤧.. great job keep up the blessing people
👍👍good job
Mike I use the same handtuck almost everyday. You should flip those feet out to climb the steps it will keep the boiler from accidentally rolling off the step.
I’d be happy with that install. I’ve seen worse I tell ya. Your friend will love it when he sees how much less his next gas bill is compared to that old monster you took out. 👍
Very nice job Mikey, your leadership with your crew is impressive !
Excellent video and install. After seeing how you and the team manhandled that old boiler, we are going to rename you Mikey "Iron Man" Pipes and his two strongmen! Have a good and restful weekend.
Love the new smaller efficient units compared to older stuff. People say they don't build em like they used to. I would rather they did not. Even my cay has 200000 on it with just oil changes. Old is cool but love anything new tech.
You guys are animals getting that beast up the stairway on Friday God bless man I'm Sabbath as well ❤️🔯
Uniforms look great. Pick some nice colors.
The uniforms lookin alot shaaaapah!
In Michigan we have to put a ground in the electrical boxes
Work out in ny also, love your vids man.
Nice video - curious why don't you typically use the Taco 4900? We had one on our Weil McLain, but it was 12 years old and started leaking. Was replaced with an air scoop.
Mike I love that left arm patch, great choice.
I got scared Mikey listening to your breathing wrestling that boiler up the stairs 😳. Great job by all 👍👍
someone needs less cigarettes/cigars(booze) and more cardio. 🤣
/me yells bottoms up and another round. 🥳
Awesome install! where do you get your 3 and 2 zone headers?!
Damn bro. Time to quit smoking. I'd like to watch you for years ro come!!!
@@PipeDoctor you got this!!
Nice uniforms Mike, they look great and don't look like janitor uniforms lol
mike you need one of those lifts that have the motorize tracks
How do they get the aluminum tape to stick and not melt on the water heater flues?

Very Nice Install
Fuggin gotta talk shit to that black pipe to get that shit moving. Works every time. Nice work
Bravo 🙏🙏💐💐🥰🙇👍👍🇩🇿
Mikey are these pumps installed at the return or supply ?
Hey hey guys
Who are you bringing stacks?
Use Diablo Sawzall blades, the red ones, they won't bend and last 4 times longer than any others.
Mike plumbing bussines is like that i carry a million parts in my work truck but part needed to complete some job isn't there i live in Chicago is painful to go to any supply bcz traffic is another nightmare 😳😳😳😳😳😳
Nice job BTW 👍👍
Best on UA-cam Mikey fuckn pipes baby
34:40 some kind of crimped copper fittings? No soldering? Is that good for 50 years?
sawzall blade and sparks flying = teeth deletion. try some carbide teeth blades, expensive but worth it. just beware bending them like you was doing will crack/shatter the teeth off or break the end off at saw. broken plenty of them over the years, but carbide teeth blades are pretty much all I buy now, no matter the blade size/shape.
HELEN KELLAR WOULD LUV YOUR INSTALL !!!,,
Was that a 1950's house? we had the same cellar windows and floor tile in our house built in 1957 in NJ
Good job Mike and crew, Peter is getting better as an apprentice, Can't have you working on the Sabbath, stay away from hoarders, they'll make you broke, Just say no to drugs.
Have you ever considered a Centro therm chimney kit and does Bosch allow the use of Centro therm.
Cool I have done it a couple times it can be a good option.
When you change your normal package/ setup you always miss something. Sure doesn't help when it's Friday. Most will think it looks great, we always judge our work heavy.
That's a nice machine. I wonder how many btus that one is. The homeowner might procrastinate getting the chimney liner if the boiler works without it. Human nature.
@@PipeDoctor wow!
send link for trolley please
What is chimney liner and what does it do
@@PipeDoctor are chimney liner is not intact and we have a high efficiency furnace
Yes Mikey can you tell me what parts are made in the United States and what parts are made in China is the boiler made in the United States I hope it is you look like you're doing a good job too. 😀💪🤟👍🔥🍺🍺🇺🇸
is that a heavy(80) ell you slipped in there on the supply,just past the scoop....? you said budget job....looks great,homeowner should save some bucks on gas
You are Master Plumber. Did you know Peter worked at a fishing supply store and was master baiter...🙂(just a joke)... :-)
You need Godzilla Mike!
Let’s date a little before sleeping together…
That’s going on the back of my business cards!!!!
Pure genius, how could I have not thought of this!!
Perfect for those customers who are on the fence 😂
@@PipeDoctor Be well, Stay safe, God bless… and I think we should date for a while before we sleep together.
It has a ring to it.
Now I want a shirt like Peters but with my name? Any possibilities? lol
I would accept that job! It’s not the Taj Mahal. Gas bill will be way smaller.
That's a great perspective! Sometimes it's the little things, like a smaller gas bill, that can make a big difference in our lives.
Good ol oversized antique. Like Ive said before I think back in the day they installed what ever was available, or maybe they had a poor formula for sizing.
@@PipeDoctor also gotta factor in insulation used to be blow in shit, could even be grass and leaves in some of these houses, old clothes, cotton.. I know if I put in the work and ripped every wall open in my house, sprayfoamed it, new walls. (Windows too) I could live comfortably with a two stage 40,000 btu furnace in -30 degree Minnesota winter, and I doubt it would kick into high stage very often. My house is small, 1.5 tons of cooling is all that's needed, 40,000 btu of heat is the maximum it needs.
A day in the life of a plumber...dirty, heavy work, missing parts, not exactly the right tools, have to improvise, everything takes longer, but it all works out in the end and a true sense of accomplishment.
Why the valve on the expansion tank? If someone shuts it off and the boiler fires it will blow the relief valve like the expansion tank had failed.
@@PipeDoctor It was agents code in CT. back in the day.
there's also a little stop valve that looks like a check valve that can be used
Make the trades great again tshirts please
pipe doctor with gauges
Bring back one handed mike
You didn’t deburr that pipe Mikey before you put that shut off valve on naughty naughty
@@PipeDoctor lol have a great weekend
Why u didn't break it down just wanted to use yo new toy them boys paid for
Good job don't like the new uniforms though
they must be saving a boat load of month on their gas bill
Imagine that
free for freinds
parts at cost labor no
This video is not as faked as some other ones he did that shows old boilers are a mess, wiring all over the place My Burnham boiler is 38 years old, and I do all the minor maintenance work, like change a thermocouple.. Work perfect for all these years. Only 2 24v wires go inside the boiler to control the gas valve. Whereas these new shining boilers, with all the circuit boards, fancy electronics. I read when a circuit board fails, part itself is $700 bucks, and now you often have to wait for months to get the repair parts. Meaning no heat for the whole winter.
Sounds like you know a lot of stuff from other countries that you never been to
really? you have absolutely zero idea buddy
Don’t worry man. Boiler installs always throw me off guard too.
y not all same coler shirts mikey petr chop liver or wat
I hate to say them are all easy. If you know what you are doing. You worked to hard on that one.
56 thumbs up
6:00 if waterboarding wasn't intensely distressing, it wouldn't be useful as a way to torture people to get a "confession". Torture doesn't work in sensible, rational ways.
ProPress fittings for copper are for people who do not have the skill or experience to solder.
Peter is dressed to sell bibles.
What a hack. Friday or a Monday.....
Come on mike missing a little of gym
Are you looking for some more employees
nothing like a bulky heavy item to make three men look and sound like girls. 🤣🤪
Nice lil a,b gas valve setup…pilot safety check….what’s that…and your an observant Jew…interesting never would’ve guessed (not that it matters what religion you practice)
tell petr and danny get dirty wat they want to com work 4 me in in jew city mpls com on man
Yo mikey !@#$%^& pipes and daniel &peter. Geter done.
What’s wrong with ancient?
Mike try reversing that Sawzall blade so the D handle of the saw is facing up when you cut. You can cut more flush against items and the battery will not get in the way because it's facing up now. This is helpfull cutting close to the ground and against items lower than what your cutting.
