I like watching Steve drive. it feels like I'm on the school bus.
That was the cleanest home I ever watched you work in.
You did a very neat and professional job. The homeowner should be very happy with your work and his stainless steel tank should last forever.
Nice job, my knees hurt just watching. You made good time too. As a one man shop also I can appreciate your effort.
My back hurt watching it knowing he couldnt stand up and stretch in there. That roller thing is a knee saver though.
A good memory foam pad are awesome still can walk at the end of the day , instead of rubbing tiger balm on them to aide sleep time .,✌️👍💪😸🤔💎😔😿
Kudos to you Steve for all of those beautiful solder joints, most of us young guys would probably just pro press the whole dam thing. Well done!
After running plumbing service calls all day i don’t hesitate to watch your videos when i get home it never gets old ! Plumbing is not a job it’s a lifestyle lol !
Steve I don't comment much, but this is one of your best videos, and I watch them all. Great explanation of what you were doing in real time, and great lighting, film shots, etc. Thank you very much for continuing to provide great content with your "real-world, day-in-the-life" content of a master craftsman. Cheers! Dave in RI.
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. I have learned so much from you over the last few years. When I need an answer that I am not sure of, I search your videos. Merry Christmas from Vermont
Greetings from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
Another great video Steve. Your viewers are gaining so much knowledge every time they watch. So much consideration goes into your work. Even if you don’t return to that house in the future for annual maintenance, the next technician/plumber will appreciate the setup and how it’s makes their job easier. Thanks for all you do.
That was pretty work Steven! Closed space but very clean. At least not pulling a turkey bone outta the crappa! Thanks for video.
Speaking as someone who has never done anything like this before, you don’t do a very good job of explaining exactly what you’re doing or what each connection on the tank is. I can only assume that most people commenting otherwise are either plumbers or boiler technicians already familiar with this sort of thing.
Flux does not draw the solder in rather it prevents oxidization during heating. Capillary action draws the solder into the joint.
Great install! Glad to see you working when you don't have to say, "No Taj Mahal".
I installed a Velocity water heater as a replacement for my stand alone gas one two years ago. What a great conversion, I love it, wish I did it before now.
Thank you so much! Very informative. Your video helped me to install the same indirect water tank for my home....
Great Job Lav..
I am getting a new CI Weil McClain installed and will probably add an indirect when my 20 year water heater goes. The problem with this solution is when and if the boiler goes down, you lose both hot water and heat.
Nice looking job Steve.
Its amazing how many joints there are in a boiler system. The water, the gas and all of the other connections all can have no leak to function properly. And that is just one house.
Hey Steve a piece of art. Looks beautiful. Excellent video tutorial.
Great , clean and rigid looking installation. Good work steve! 👏👏
All the time I watching your video, do you have good knowledge and skills. thank you a lot for your help.
Nice work
It ain't easy being Stevie Mama !
Your right Steve about guys taking all day.had a boiler install done at my house 3 guys 8am-5pm...
it was one loop with an indirect tank...ya it was fast and good but it wasn't a whole boiler system.
@@pitaeata8493 I have the same system
True. 2 guys and it would be an all day thing and a bigger bill for the customer.
Good job, Steve got skills again. And again, etc.
Nice setup and install Steve ✌🏼👊🏼👊🏼…I’ve noticed when you install water heaters in your other videos you never install a pan … Are pans not required in MA. ?
Pump placement is optimal.
Better for the pump to pump out of a tank, so it's correct.
If you have a choice on pump placement out of heater supply or to return, I'd choose to return, pump would operate with lower temperature water, exactly what you did.
Another great job done by the sir Steve
Nice, clean basement and house!
the boiler system seems really efficient.
Nice work Steve nothing like soldering man good stuff ! 👍
Beautiful job Steve way to go Momma!
Very nice install Steve. Neat and clean.
Love watching a pro solder !!
I love those mega stor ii water heaters, thanks for the vid!
Good looking install, Thanks!
Beautiful clean work Steve!
I do believe in anti-seize compound years later parts come apart on my boat and my cars it does work Bill N LI NY
Nice soldering there !
good enough for this neighbor hood. 😂
Super tidy job Steve - thanks for the upload
that was a great video. You do amazing work.
one of our apartment houses has the 50 inch basement we did most of the work down there using office chairs
you could move around fast but had to watch out for the beam it could hurt
Watch yourself Steve’s putting the probe in dry 😂
Installed a 45gal HTP superstor in my own home with a 3/4 loop never run out of hot water
@@throttlebottle5906 for me thats overkill its just 5 of us in the house I used probably 5ft of copper to tie it into my Biasi B10-5 oil boiler
Nice work Steve! Looked good!
Great video Steve!!!
Great job Steve continue to do well and stay safe had enough of this neighborhood 😷
On to the next one mama!
Steve what was the logic behind adding the new water tank and taking out the gas water tank
when I went to school high school for HVAC they said always put the circulator on the return you want to pull the water into the boiler and we never had a cold start boiler we had an actress that with three terminals this is 1970 wanted to get my fist first job but got drafted came home and then started to work as HVAC guy
FYI u can’t use Black Iron on water.
Watch out for those ecm pumps they require more frequent maintenance
It ain't easy being cheesy mama!
very clean job , nice to see.
Steve, why did you install 2 high vents on the boiler supply line to the indirect water tank ?
that is a very good question?
I realize this video is two years old but I’m wondering why you didn’t install a tempering valve. Aka mixing valve.
Awesome job!
Great job and fast! Soldering is better and faster than compromised if you know what you are doing!
Question: $
Isn't using your heating boiler for domestic hot water cost you more in fuel than two
separate units especially because in the summer you have to leave the boiler running?
Nice job! What kinda Allen wrenches you got there? I like the lenght on it...
In the winter I can see saving money with that setup you have to heat the house anyway but how much does it cost to run that monster in the summer just to make hot water?
I would be interested in an answer here also.
All that expansion/contraction can't be doing the boiler any good either.
I have indirect fired water-heater in the winter and a heat-pump water heater for summer; piped in series. Works well.
boiler still runs at over 80% eff.... hot water heater might be 30% eff....only problem is the heat that comes off that piping all day in July..... this is were a high eff. condensing boiler works WAY better. Remember that boiler has to stay warm all the time... or it will condensate... and rot out in no time.
TheJimbob1603 This is how we do hot water in the UK, at least in houses without combi boilers (instant water heating). The same boiler provides both central heating and hot water via either a gravity fed or pressurised cylinder. It has significant advantages over using two separate appliances- cost being one. The single boiler is obviously fired every day, meaning pumps etc don't seize over summer when it would otherwise be unused. You benefit from the availability of the full boiler output to heat your water- meaning much faster recovery times vs a water heater which usually has a much smaller burner. There is less maintenance. You only need a relatively small gas supply line reducing costs (some gas companies increase daily standing charges for bigger supplies / larger meters). Corrosion of the boiler isn't usually a concern as it's typical to set them to charge the cylinder twice a day, Meaning they get properly hot and evaporate any condensation. In any case, we have been using condensing boiler for years now anyway and you would be hard pushed to find many old cast iron boilers left.
Gotta love the accent sounds like mark Wahlberg
Wheres the expansion vessel for the pressured hot water cylinder? Also no balancing valve
@@ML-lg4ky I can only see an expansion tank on the heating side not the domestic hot water side.
Steve the water don’t know which way the pump is moveing it
i dont think that tank serial number has enough digits in it, i googled it and its a quadrillion amount
That water heater you took out looks like new still??
@@throttlebottle5906
Looked like new to me
Aged well
But even then 2008 till now?
That’s not old
I’ve seen water heaters from the 80’s still in use
clearly that is cultivated boogers not flux. right?
Nice professional install
I like all your videos,but please find a way to eliminate back noise, is very noises 😅
Is that a Cummins engine in your truck? If so I bet it serves you well!!!
Nice and neat job. Good deal.
Great job Steve. You really check all your work and that's what makes you expert!
As much as we pay for cell phone service, cell phone companies should do a better job of blocking spam callers!! If more than one person identifies it as spam callers, than cell phone companies should permanently block them from all cell phones!! I block them as fast as I can. Potential spam=spam caller!! Lol!!
A friend blocks them all too now days I don’t think they ever use the same number twice
@@waltradcliffe4482 they don't. They also have a computer phone system, where it looks like they are calling local, but they aren't. Plus, a lot times, they are calling from overseas. I still block them. I never answer unknown numbers anymore and figure if it's important, then they'll leave a voicemail.
iPhones with iOS 14 can be set to not let incoming calls ring thru unless they are already in the Contacts list. Of course as a business owner, he wouldn’t want to set that and then not be able to answer service calls live.
@@dock_yard1149 I have a Samsung Galaxy S 8+ phone. I'm use to android type phones.
Spam? More like sCam most of those calls....
How many rolls of solder do you figure youve gone through in your life? Whats your thoughts on all this lead free brass bullshit?
Talking about zones, Steve is it a pain in the ass to add another heating zone to the second floor of my house?
@@tphvac87 It's a steam boiler I was told, Burnham Boiler P-206A-Wnv
Using hot water to make hot water..... crazy!
It's not easy being cheesy , working man style Steve's done already methodical memory makes it look easy ,always , 🤔👍💪✌️😔🙏💎😸
Nice job Steve!
Very expensive to add to a system
where is the offer for a knee pad?
One of the cleaner homes....
taj mahal
thats a nice setup
clean job
Nice job
I've got a dumb question: just how in the hell do you people upload video's on from your phones? Mines saying it's not equipped with the software to stream. There something I need to install?
I think streaming is very different from uploading a video
@@chrisE815 uhm okay! That's not answering my question guess one would answer the other but at the moment guess it don't mater but thanks for your input.
@@josephferry6599 streaming is feeding real time to UA-cam as its being filmed. Uploading is just thst uploading a saved Video to UA-cam. Evidently the software is different.
Good show Steve you got Christmas of soon?
Nice job and video like always
Nice neat job
nice well done
Thats the way I fly mama!
Customer said that will last until I'm dead. Wow made me think. Dad said that about the last truck he brought. I hope Dad outlast this truck.
AFTER FINISH SOLDERING BEFORE OPEN THE FACET WILL BE GOOD IDEA TO TAKE SCREEN OUT FROM NOSE .....THEN OPEN WATER
Bad spot
Hey Steve , what's your opinion of Nancy Pelosi ? Or would you rather not say . Lol. !!
He has made the comment in the past "Spitting like Nancy Pelosi"🤣
my girl-friend love you dog her name michelle
I'd do that with you all day
🤣👍😛
I BELIVE IF YOU USED PRO PRESS YOU WILL FINISH BY 9
