The parts and tools scattered around the boiler looked like a crime scene. 🤣
I used to wonder whether I'd like someone getting publicity/making money by filming themselves working on my equipment - then I realized that someone doing that is not going to cut corners and they'll be at the top of their game if they publicize their work, so it's actually win-win for you/the homeowner.
pilot line bent cool " ITS THE CATS MEOW" !!!
Another happy homeowner repair!!!
That pilot tubing looks amazing
Thank you for showing how detailed and important it is to what one is doing So DIYers don't think they are skilled enough to know what to do and how to do the work professional, like yourself provide. I think, for homeowners, the difficulty is finding a good company and/or honest professional to hire. It is hard to find service you can trust - particularly if you're a woman. People seem to think we're out her to be taken advantage of. This is what I hate. I like people who explain thing to me so I will know how to take care and do the proper upkeep required as a homeowner and know when to call the professionals. And I hate to say it but living in Chicago - we have too many unethical "trades people" who have the attitude of "getting over" on the customer rather than doing good work and building a good customer relationship so one feels comfortable and confident being their customer. Thanks for sharing and educating us so we can be informed consumers.
Great job as usual. I seen on one of your videos you using the flare wrench. So I got one to use on thermocouples on hot water heaters. Your nowledge has helped me on my year and half as a apartment maintenance tech. Thank you and keep the videos rolling!!!
Great work Mikey. Looking good.
Thanks for the little sneak peek surprise 😉
Poilt tubing 💯 Condemn boiler, rule of thumb boiler was serviceable , You were aware of the situation and the boil was fixed
Well, that was a crapshoot. Great job on your efforts to get them up back and running. Reminds me of my job this morning where I had two wall heaters that were both down.
Thankfully the tenant was smart enough not to have messed with the heaters as much as your customer did. It led me to get both of the wall heaters on and running safely after a couple of hours of troubleshooting and parts replacement. Just parts needed and not shooting the parts cannon.
Enjoyed the video, Mike. Let Peter know to keep at it with shadowing you. Education is gold. Have a good one.
show a detailed pilot tube bend operation. would love to see that. I can do it but not as nice as you showed. good video Mikey
I have retired now Mikey Pipes, but I would have done the same as you did, and have done it in the past a few times very messy, but still cleaner than oil, I like your content, I was in business for myself and did it all sheet metal, troubleshooter, salesperson, and installer it was a great job kept me on my toes.Keep up the good work son.
Mikey Pipes saves the day again! This vid would have been a perfect spot for an out take where you discover that you just saved these people from disaster the outtake begins... you are standing there in your Mikey Robe with a copy of the Plumbing Code in your hand, holding it up to your chest describing the save just encountered...with peter pan in the background waving glory to Saint Mike...what a scene! And then we switch back to reality... :)
St Mike at it again Making Boilers Safe 1 at a Time and Teaching at the same time.
Commend your work Mikey. You do exceptional work. Thanks for your continued dedication to deliver content. 26 year old natural gas meter technician in rhode island. I’m sure you have your opinions on grid and gas techs, but the good ones (like me) appreciate what you do. I know gas better than you, but your boiler knowledge and appliance work is untouchable. Cheers brother to grey goose
Now that you have showed me and everyone else watching. I would’ve done exactly what you did. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us.
I must admit you did an awesome job on that pilot tubing replacement. What was the story on the gas valve connection?
Welcome to America amigo. 🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing
So when Peter Pan knows what he's doing to a point you can start calling Peter Piper LOL I still think that would have been a better than Peter Pan but that's just me LOL y'all are good and do good work
@@PipeDoctor yeah…maybe shorten it to PeePee? PP? 😂😂😂
He said when he first started that he didn't want to be called Peter Piper.
Good job
Your a goof ball Mikey.
But I would hire ...if you ever need a job let me know. All my customers need to be set straight....you're the man for the job..lol
Damn you do have some open land there.
another clean job on the dirty side,well done.
It seems so crazy to us in mid America that even new builds in your area they use boilers. We never use boilers. We didn't even use boilers here I'm the 60's & 70's! (Unless large commercial)
GOOD WORK BY PROFESSIONALS-KEEP THE HUMOR AND VIDEOS COMING . LOVE IT.
Anyone else notice how Wookie so those utility poles were!
Great job! You probably saved their Lives asking please not to mess with the Gas system unless you understand how they work. I'm sure you sold them a maintenance check-up contract. tell her to always call you before the husband takes the inspection cover off next time
Thanks for the eye candy even if it was a glimpse. They are very lucky, that kind of issue and HO was messing with it. Many would have walked out to the truck for more tools and driven away......
We call that boiler job a GHI (General Heating Indpection) that involves pulling the burners and cleaning the heat exchangers, boiler section flue passages. Pressure setting flue gas analysis recorded .
Saint Mike 😄😄 This job reminded me of that Phil Collins song " Soot Soot Sussudio ".
I’ve NEVER had a gas valve dead on out of the box. My manometer and my TESTO is my friend. I ALWAYS leave a print out on site and another for my customer file. It’s the only thing that will stand up in a court of law. If you’re not testing your guessing. 👍
And yes, as much as I hate punching boilers, I would have done the same thing you did. Good job gentleman. I hope you get paid because you earned it. 👍
Mike that was a perfect tube bending job. I done it for 35 years in the instrumentation trade and it is not as simple as it looks.
I have a 3 classification system for tech's, "Parts Changers", "50%'ers" and Guys that know how to trouble shoot and repair adequately.
thanks for content
My pleasure. But thank you for watching and commenting.
Good morning Mike nice work once again 😀
Nice job! Did you encourage the couple to watch the video you were going to push out? That's s a great way to make people appreciate the work you did. I'm no HVAC person, but I can see what you're doing/talking about.
Saving lives…one boiler at a time.
😇🤲🏼
I’m moving to Florida
Those power poles in the beginning were no joke about to fall over any second lol
Yup, noticed them too. One storm away from having a bunch of snapped poles to replace.
large trees warp with and weight pulling them. welcome to wooden power poles.
You did a nice job on that boiler, saved it from certain death. Hey, Tell Peter Pan he has soot on his nose.
I had got a call to look at a furnace. The homeowner was a electrician. Mike he jumped out the roll out switch. I wish I can send you pictures of the furnace. All most set his house on fire.
I have had one gas valve on a bran new Lennox that fired at 4.9 w.c. Sounded like a jet taking off lol. That's why you always check everything on start up and don't assume it's new so it should be ok. Thus when I have to change out a compressor I always ohm it out and test it to ground before I install it. I had one of them bad out of the box and I was pissed off because I never checked it, went to fire it up and the breaker tripped. That was a long fking day.
Awesome cleaning
Great job as usual!!
Oh well I guess I'll be number two today lol nothing like some toilet humor especially with a plumber :-) :-)
Pilot orface is plugged, pull out and clean and voila fixed
Hello mr Mikey
That adapter on the Honeywell valve wasn't hurting anything, the pipe was just going through it and threading on into the gas valve..
Funny though...
Just rename it a pipe guard and you're good to go !!
true, it just looks bozo. lol
my old stomping grounds!!!
I called the shop and got hung up on as soon as i said im from glen cove haha come on mikey!! Im stuck with my damn koren garbage with no heat or hot water today of all days after the storm
Mikey you gotta see when a oil boiler plugs up it's insane no joke it could be 10lbs of soot
I love CO.
More fresh cookies from Mikey pipes. Damn my pants r nowhere to be found...
Crazy
Lots of “Joe-Homeowners“ out there………Sure, save money but puts their family at risk!
Nice job as always, Mikey👍
good job make it work!
What was the gas valve work that didn't get done?
Oh, comooon Mike? show those "rocket engineer's" how to twist that gas metering screw again!!!!! Hahahaha
You remember me dont you???? Honestly, that was a house torch ready to happen wasn't it.
Kudos my friend, for expertice, AND taking care of a bad situation sir!!!!!
Someone needs to tell Peter Pan's GF/ Wife/ Ole Lady he lied about what 6" looks like!!! LOL
Man,, those roadside power poles in the beginning of the video look like they were scheduled for an upgrade in 1955 but they never got around to it.. lol
Wow
Why “schedule” a replacement on a warm summer day, with a leisurely transfer of wires from one in-tact pole to the next?
Let mother nature schedule it during a winter ice storm, with poles busted up on the ground, and potentially tens of thousands of people freezing their asses off, including the linemen. 🤣😉
@@erikj.2066 Sir,,,,, that's genius !! Have you ever considered going into government ? :)
@@2packs4sure up until this point no. But your proposal intrigues me, and I’ve got allot of other good ideas for public utilities.
I think TP is a basic human right. But nobody should suffer through the indignity of their fingers ripping through regular TP.
Outlaw TP, and issue gov’t tested and approved wipes. Nice thick ones, with extra moisturizer built in to show we care.
We’ve been underutilizing our sewers all these years with that regular TP. Also encourage every citizen to dispose any form of cooking grease in these sewers. Really helps things slide down.
For gas utilities, I won’t rest until every gas main celebrates it 200th birthday.
When the time comes for the celebration, we’ll have a big beautiful cake, with lots of tiki-torch candles. We’ll need to be sure to do this in a location that has the strongest mercaptan odor, so we know the system will be fully present for its celebration. 🥳🤪
Actually, additional thoughts on the gas party. Stop the mercaptan from being added to the system. I want this to be a surprise party!
@@erikj.2066 Lol !!
I didn't see a sediment trap on the gas line. Did i miss it?
Love all the videos Mikey and thanks for doing what you do
Bwahahaha.. god comandeth saint mike to restore correct flow through the heat exchanger. The look on peter pans face...lol. so serious..hahaha. i love it
Nasty job. Water is best to keep the soot out of the air. Just not possible sometimes
Hey Mikey! Do you cover the hole in the flue after performing combustion analysis?
That old chimney looks like trouble
Yo Mikey good work as always question what would make a gas fired steam broiler continue to burn through copper fittings causing a new spot repair to leak within 2 weeks? This is the broiler at my bldg ive seen a handful of plumbers try and repair but the system always leaks at the copper fittings
Copper on steam?
Question
The Testo 320 you have....where do you send it out for calibration?
At Testo facility only?
I called them to send my 310 and this is what they say
If calibration is the only thing needed, then there is a $50 service fee along with the $100 calibration fee, as well as about $15 shipping. I will say that since your instrument is about three years old you will certainly need an O2 sensor, which will add about $140 to the quotation.
They want $300 that's almost 50% of a new one
My question is do you send yours out or do you just buy a new one
@@PipeDoctor yes that's who I contacted but what do you do?
Do you send it out for calibration to them?
Man you guys are crazy doing that with those masks on. That shit is nasty I didn't wear a respirator 1 time and wasn't the same for like 2 days. Get Peter a respirator please 🙏
It's one thing to vacuum out the boiler or check a pilot. Don't mess with gas appliances. Could have been bad.
peter pan's nose 25.50 chimney sweep lol
I know you been doing this for a while but please use a proper respirator
Mike what kind of Milwaukee light are you using in the boiler?
Are you sure that wasn't burning #2 somehow? Noce video as always.
tell them to take their gas leaf blower and blow it out good, 🤪🤪🤪 soot cloud 101.
yes I have cleaned units out that way, but only apartments/condos with the mechanicals in a isolated room only open to the outside.
the problem is, you'll have soot clear through your underwear and in every body crack and part of your body.
soot from bad pilot flame or other forms of rollout like downflow furnace with not attached filter/blower access/dryer lint, from duct off, etc.
Not gonna lie I probably would have walked on this one. Who knows what this guy is gonna do after your leave.
19:35 We stare because we care! 😁👍 23:32 That's what she said! 🤦♂
It looks as though you could have brushed down in half the time if you had given Peter a second brush to work on the other half. Peter's good, he seems to have mechanical common sense and is soaking up the knowledge you're feeding him.
Does anyone else just keep trying to let go of the pilot button slower and slower hoping like that has anything to do with it lol
What do you charge to clean carbonized boiler $600 doesn't sound like enough
This is a must see video for homeowners on why calling a licensed professional is the correct decision
👍
I thought you said that the gas valve was the wrong one when you were talking to the husband on the phone
@@PipeDoctor Sorry my bad you told him you were going to have to take the gas value apart to do it right and it looks the same so I guess that adapter on top of the gas valve is not doing anything because the gas valve is 1/2" pipe and not 3/4" pipe so he didn't need to put that extra part back on
I don't believe people understand just how much danger they could be in with incompetent service people.
We all make mistakes but WOW!
that is a top dollar job, Gasmen don't get dirty!😂😂🤣
🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🎯🏌🏻♀️
Stay safe.
Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses!
You should wear an N95. Soot particles are so small regular masks won’t catch them.
Mikey we smash like before the first add is over !!!!!! Ima make extra accounts and like as well muhuhahaha
Is Daniels truck right hand drive???
He shoots his video in mirror mode when he is in his truck.
What we're we laughing at about the gas valve? Did you fix it? It looked the same to me after you were done.
There’s an aluminum adapter block, with 4 cap head screws holding it to the top of the valve. It’s function is to adapt the valve from 1/2” NPT to 3/4” NPT.
In this boilers case, it had 1/2” piped to the gas valve, so the 3/4” adapter being installed was completely unnecessary, a “rookie” mistake from someone who really didn’t know what they were doing.
That being said, the 1/2” pipe was able to pass through the 3/4” threads, and reach the 1/2” fitting on the valve without leaking, so really no point in breaking it all apart to remove the adapter.
Jeez, look at the condition of the utility poles at the start of the video. Looks like something I would expect in a run down third world country, not a couple of miles away from New York City.
So why not fix the gas pipe
Damn that was pilot orifice. 😳
Wow thats a bad one
Guess you decided Not to Fix the Gas Valve????
Talk about the parts canon lol
U didn't realize. There was no drip pipe going to the gas valve no one realize that
👌
Lol reminds me of the talk my HVAC tech gave me after i replaced the board components and blew out my thermostat blowing the circuit board to pieces
Somehow i had a 10k uF and it needed 1800 uF a mishooked ground and well POP
Was told yeah the schematic was for a commercial 10 ton unit board yours is 2 tons dont mess with this cause your gonna fry a 8k dollar furnace with a 3 dollar part
Didn't fix the gas valve ...
Thats what happened when u shoot the parts cannon at it without testing your guessing!!!!!!@@@@@@@@
Carboniszed boiler
How long did you let Peter Pan walk around of that big black mark on his nose
