Thanx for the boiler system vent lesson, browsing around to various UA-cam clips and learning lots. Looks like great work, subscribed.👍
Great video I replaced my air vent valve today with your help. Nice job.
Great video. I wish they had these when i was a homeowner
You need at least 18" of straight pipe before the air separator for it to work properly.
The ProPress is all the rage due to the time it saves. The only time I care about is how long my system lasts. I don't like the distortion in the copper from the press. It's setting up stress points in the copper, which may already be stressed from age. Other than that, just learned from you that my Sawzall is a plumbing tool. Good video !
Not many people have a 3500$ pro press....it would have been nice to see the old fashion way of soldering it...nice video tho...thanks....Use to use a pro press everyday at work..and it saved hours and hours of work and time...especially installing a new burner.
Best vid around on how to do this work! Still looking on how to replace the air float valve at the top of the line and also how to clean/upkeep those damn things! Any videos you can replace the float type air vent would be greatly appreciated!
Send me a picture of which one you'd like a video of and I'll make one. sales@kjcomfort.com
Great videos, please keep up the great work! Can I also ask where did you get the reaming tool for copper (the one that looks like a J hook pick? Great videos!
Thank You! It’s called a deburring tool and I have updated the description bellow the video with a link to buy one.
Good job , the only thing I would have done is repipe the feed water into the correct location , between the expansion tank and scoop valve
great video... thanks for sharing.
Good video,I hope you don't mind me saying that you should have replaced that boiler drain valve while you were there changing the air scoop and the expansion tank.God bless you and yours and thank you for the video.
Hi i recently did service to my water floor heating radiant I changed the expansion tank the pressure vale changed the Honeywell zones the zones are calling and the pressure gauge stays just 2 line above the 20 and staying there and i did flashed the water from all zone lots of dark water came out and i left it to open tell water color got back to normal but the issue i have is the first floor which got 2 zone both zone got warmed but the upstairs only get to 10 degree does not matter if i leave the tramontane all the way to the end or levee it on 20 so what cold be wrong what do u suggest please Thanks
How do you know what pis to set the expansion tank at?
This chucklenead:
1. Did not use eye protection when using a sawzall to cut pipe
2. Just left wires dangling in his face instead of taping them neatly to the pipes. In computer building it's called cable management.
Love ball valves wasn't the air scoop replaced better than new one 10 year retired oil man from Long Island like the way you work
Do you have to shut off the power to the unit before doing this?
U didn't explain the precharge for expansion tank requirements
The spirovent is a much better product that air scoop is almost useless in that location.
Doing replacement on the expansiontank don't need to put air in?
great job
air scoop and hyvent is a much better set up. nice work
I like diy plumbing job around my house but these boiler related jobs i always call professional
I saw that expansion tank is on the output hotwater side of the boiler Is that air tank be ok to take that much hot water with the plastic air bladder inside that tank ? That's the first I ever seen.
Absolutely. You'll see quite a bit of applications where this is acceptable. The tank has a Max temperature of 240 the max temp for a typical boiler is 200 but usually doesn't even exceed 180.
THE LEFT SIDE OF THE AIR PURGE SCOOP WHERE YOU CUT THE PIPE , IT JUST PUSHES IN TO THE SCOOP NO SOLDERING OR SEALING ?????
tape or thread sealant never both
What is water heater installation
Why you did'nt install with another spirovent?
The Prez The green Taco was probably what he had in the truck.
What was wrong with The Purge tank
Is a spirovent better than an air scoop why switch for the air scoop?
Actually Spirovent is better than an airscoop. Spirovent had an issue with their older models that would cause them to corrode over time which would prevent you from servicing them. When this video was made I did not realize Spirovent had actually redesigned their product to prevent that from happening. We are working on a new video to show this.
K&J's Comfort Inc. I didn’t know thanks for letting me know lol
@@gyver471 i actually have a spirovent in my upstairs baseboard, to remove the air when servicing (system had no way of bleeding air in the upstairs where it can get trapped).
You said these have to be replaced often? Mine is 15 years or more. Is it possible to last that long?
Mine is also 15 years old. They don't have to be routinely replaced.
_Heating Boiler Air ScoopsBulk Air_ Separators & Air Purgers
Could somebody explain to me why the pilot light of my heating boiler turns-off before reaching temperature set on aqua stat set at 180 degrees. The boiler has 3 gauge scales in one enclosure (rectangular to square shape) with lower one for temperature from 60-260 degrees, and upper scale with 2 sub-scales-one for ALTITUDE 0 (zero) true 115 and another one for pressure 0 (zero) true 50 PSI. This gauge DOES NOT HAVE any wires attached to it. When water temperature reaches about 165 degrees, the pressure reaches passed 30 PSI and gas valve shots down and at the same time shots the gas for pilot light. The heating system has 3 zone valves, all of them in open position (mechanically). Why does it shots down pilot light?
NO
If you remove a spirovent and install an air scoop,that is going backwards.
Hey all my radiators seem to be working except for two of them. I find this strange since it’s a circuit.
Hi Alex, although it’s a circuit air gets trapped at the top of radiator or you could have what’s called mono flow tees in your system which are working improperly. I would have a service tech come over and take a look.
LWCO and 10 psi ? Is that device a pressure stat or a LWCO? A LWCO looks for water and has no pressure function so I don't follow your comment on that.
you cannot connect iron to copper, only to brass.
Why?
You never showed how the left side of the perger was attached did you solder it
LMAO I was thinking the same thing I never seen it being soldered
He crimped it with the battery powered crimp tool.
NO NO NO tape or dope NEVER both. I like to use the blue monster and then wipe excess off after threading it on. Never use both.
I don't get why people don't put a shutoff valve between the expansion tank and the system. Makes it a lot easier.
Or shut offs before and after circulator pumps and auto vents.
@@philipajarapoo7675 Why didn't you put a shutoff valve between the expansion tank and the system?
You capped off the boiler manufacturers built-in air scoop on top of the boiler. Strike two. And you didn't install a valve underneath the new air vent you just installed for easy replacement of the air vent which only last a few seasons. Be careful next time installing the expansion tank because you may crack the air scoop. If you over tighten.
Valve under the air vent isn't necessary.
You removed the Spirovent which is a better product than than the antiquated air scoop. Why didn't you
just replace the head on the Spirovent? The product has a 20 year warranty to the original owner. And you
didn't install the air scoop with 18" of horizontal piping before it. Which makes your installation useless.
I respectively disagree with your replacement of the Spirovent.
I was watching this video after my spirovent 1-1/2 inch was replaced it was 20 years old. I live in canada its hard to find the spare parts to replace this and it seems like mine was not worth fixing by replacing the head. I've heard older versions are a lot harder to replace? ended up replacing with a Calefactio one by our plumber. $800 as the calefactio itself was worth $300. I like to save money, but not sure if I could of really saved a lot by replacing the head. If it had a 20 year warranty how could they verify the purchase? hard to keep a receipt after 20 years haha.
👍👍
You replaced an air separator with an air scoop, you need 18 inches of pipe before it.
Good video, but you should call the parts by its proper name no this, if I want to buy the part now I don't know what to ask for
Thank you! It was one of our first videos so we learned a lot from it. Unfortunately I can’t change it now but our new ones we make I try to be more precise.
Not helpful.
Explain what
"this, this, and this" is
The only thing I don’t like that you did is use pro-press. Just a personal issue I don’t trust them as much as sweat copper
I can respect that. I've seen the stress they can endure which is why I use them but there are cases we just can't use press so we sweat.
Yeah doesn’t help that the machine is expensive and the fittings are like 4x as expensive
I always keep brass hose caps on truck for when drain fittings drip if not practical to change at that point.
Why tape and pipe dope? I’ve heard horror stories about doing that
When using copper fittings I find they don't leak using that method. The only time I've ever seen a fitting fail was for black iron. When you're using black iron or cast you should only use pipe dope.
@@KJsComfortInc i do and i seen dope n tap on black pipe all the time, never see any issues. what is the problem of using dope n tape?
@@QnQoooo I've had guys tell me they've used both on black iron with no issues. For me personally, I have come across a lot of failures due to using both on iron.
Kevin Rafferty not tight enough?
Steve Lav uses both tape and pipe dope on regular plumbing but he only uses pipe dope for gas piping. I have never had any issues using pipe dope by itself.
