Great job! Workmanship is great. More importantly, it’s piped correctly! I’m more impressed with the time you and your crew take to get it done! Keep up the great work.
Another awesome job delivered to you by Mike and his team!
Your content is amazing, and inspiring. Y'all keep up the good work!
Excellent near boiler piping work. A lost art! 😀.
Nothing but love for GiGi! Love how she says “subscribe” 😂😂 The best 👍
Fantastic job teaching Mikey.
Beautiful pipe work! GREAT CREW !!!!
Great install. Very educational. Didn’t know about the softener and the drop header.
Many people won’t understand why you keep calling your pipe work a thing of beauty…but it really is. Pipe work is an art in itself. Nice job guys!
You are correct, a drop header slows the steam and provide drier steam to system and can be used to get your 24” risers in low clearance situations.
Mike. I live in an area that has maybe 50 residential steam boilers left over from the old days. and after almost 30 years in the trade it is so much fun for me to watch you continue to do what I started doing many years ago after finding home after home and system after system get hacked to death by techs and companies that didn't know the first thing about steam. I've been on a different side of the trade now for a decade (I'm a Regional Facilities Manager in AK ID MT OR and WA) I really enjoy watching you do your thing, Keep it up, happy to be a subscriber.
What’s it mean to be a Regional Facilities Manager?
Great build. Your man Mike the Fitter does great custom pipe fitting. Nice, clean, easy to service. Even Steve @32:00 would be proud.
I am a vet and thank you for that. Just want to thank you for helping me with a boiler I was working on.
Hell yeah nice work! Keep it comin!
Excellent work .
Very Nice Mikey Pipes very professional and looks dam good
Great Installation Mikey P.
Great job! Professional and done right!
Thank you! Cheers!
Big fan now your skills & personality make u watch a educational video very entertaining.
Great install as always... With mike it's done right!
You're the man mikey pipe
Watching you wrestle that beast brought back a lot of memories, non too pleasant. Has a guy get paralyzed by not using straps on a unit that rolled and crushed his legs. Sad story. He admitted to us he rushed. The foreman never really got over it. Both knew better. Safe, slow and steady.
It looks great like artwork. We don't do alot of Boilers down here in Tennessee we mostly do heatpumps and gas furnaces.
Mikey Pipes- your next version 5 sticker needs “ lick it before you stick-it” 😆
You made a Wago convert out of me! I love them!!!!
I’m not a HVAC tech. I’m a customer who knows a good technician when he sees one. You and your technician’s are top notch.
I'm not in NY but if I was, Mikey would get my business.
Everyone should be subscribed to this channel because what great content love every dam min of Mikey Pipes videos
We need more owners like you. There's alot of owners that don't teach the young ones and nag and bi*ch on how bad of a job your doing. Well one your not teaching the young ones on how to do things and set the young ones in the correct path to success. New to channel we need more people like you. Love it
Gonna be honest, I’ve posted negative comments about some of the steam boilers you’ve done in the past. I have a lot of respect for you taking the extra steps to do a “better job”, not that the other ones were “wrong”. Shows that no matter how accomplished you are in the industry you can still thrive to be better instead of being stuck in your ways. I enjoyed the video.
Happy new year. Great install and video! You ask for comments. One thing I like to see is units sitting up on 4" or even 6" cinder blocks. So many basements take on a few inche's of water at times. I understand don't always have clearance for that. As a general contractor I tell all subs that evthing goes up on blocks. I like how u give details on parts and layout plans. Let's go Brandon!! FYI..I typed in Lets and the last two words automatically filled in. I love it.lol
love your channel
Another Great Job
She’s a beauty. Nice job Guys!
You got the best helpers
I agree.
Mike brings back memories till I got my hernia work then got a power jack . Or power dollie still need guys but a lot easier some thought. Being old man now they don’t let me on those jobs either . Keep posting love the video and good lord Co. getting 100000 by May
Hi mike, what about a end of job checklist ? Basics , that way nobody forgets to soot vac the chimney etc. Love your channel!! Your work is amazing
daniel is good
. first ground and then neutral and then the fases or voltage lines. have good year all of you.
Great job guys!! Such a clean install
Beautiful job! I would clock the meter and adjust the gas pressure before the combustion test.
Wow,I think your job is hard and also complicated, and when I see this video I understand about your job.
I find the science of the header interesting. The drop header adds inertia to the water/steam separation in the header as the water is already moving down when it hits the header. The water falls to the bottom of the pipe while the drier steam runs along the top. Also that the length of the header isn't important but the larger the pipe diameter, the better to give more separation.
Nice work
It's nice to see other PLUMBERS in the trade actually care about how their work lQQks when it's done, Nice near boiler piping!! Even to the laymen, this boiler install looks good to the 👀's......Mikey Pipes another awesome boiler install done by the pipe doctor crew. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS! Mikey your "newCrew" seems to be "geling" everyone works good together and they do nice work! And the best part is they are willing to learn. Great job guys!
Mike great job, what's the best way to wire in the automatic water feeder, thanks again for all the great information 👍
Excellent work Mike, great crew you have, the pipe work and information is excellent, those wago's are amazing, thanks for showing us them, wish I knew about them earlier, I like when you cut to your dog Gigi asking to subscribe, very nice dog. what is the official breed of Gigi? nevermind mini golden doodle. I got it. heard you just say it in the video
Love my wago’s thanks you you!
Just got a membership to support you guys and the great work you do. Hope your team had a Merry Christmas and has a great New Years.
Hey Mikey
I am a service plumber (3rd generation) that grew up as a right wing orthodox jew and have been wrenching for almost 18 years now
Me and my wife recently adjusted our life style against our family and friends wishes in becoming less orthodox and more modern and moved out to the sticks in Buffalo Mills pennsylvania ( the mountains )
And the only thing that gets me through the day when I'm on break is your channel
So thanks again for putting out quality videos of Plumbing and Heating
Hope to one day be able to shake your hand and have a few minute conversation
With you and maybe if I ever find myself in NY on a spare vacation day or 2 I'd like to volunteer to be your helper and ride with you on calls 😎😆
So thanks again for the channel content
-Jonny Sragg
@@PipeDoctor thank you
Burnham has given me so many headaches over the years on the oil side (v-7,8,mega,) I must with hold todays like button .We used to joke back in the day "install a W/M or Peerless they give you a jackett, install a Burnham they give you a free mop to soak up the eventual leak."
Ecelente work
Should use a back up when tightening your fittings. Job looks good!
Saint Mike! How do I get one those long sleeve “Let’s go Bosch” shirts and one of those Bosch Beanies? I’ve checked out the merch and store and I don’t see them. I love boiler season, it’s what got me hooked on your channel!
Great video. Boiler install looks good. Nothing like new metal pipes. Love the raw and uncut. The dogs walks are great content. Keep up the great work pipe doctor crew. Happy New Year. Let's go #Bosch..........
Where is the subscribe button absolutely love u guys, very helpful
tee with a plug instead of 90 off the riser would have been mint for your surge x but other than that absolute beauty
I started using bolted flanges with steam gaskets instead of unions. nice Hartford loop and as long as the sight glass isn’t dancing your good . I like crowne cast iron steam boilers
Crown is burnham.
@@tuppersdad Burnham owns the company but the boiler is totally different even the way you pipe the Hartford loop is different
And old gas tech told me when checking gas connections . I quote no bubbles no troubles
Hey Mike great job and video as usual. Can you share the tipe of electrical contact grease? I'm getting some from Rational German but it is small bags .
I am an "ice snob" too. I have been in too many restaurants on a "no ice" service call, and now I won't EVER consume ice while in a restaurant. I get a chilled soda and that is IT! Once you see the ice machine that gets no maintenance, you won't ever want to come near restaurant ice.
Hey Mike, Is there a pressure reducing valve that has a gauge/dial on it that can be used for residential hydronic boilers? I am looking to be able to see what I am actually adjusting the water pressure to. I thought I saw one in one of your videos. Boiler season is coming up and I am wanting to switch over to a better style pressure reducing valve. Thanks
My electricians OCD-ness is going nuts watching you guys wire these! I am screaming at the monitor. You see such nice piping work and then wires and AC/MC cables just going all over the place. My wiring looks like your piping! 🤦♂😁👍 Good work on the install.
luck it's not just romex spaghetti strung around and half burnt from the heat 🤣🤣🤣
been there and seen it like that before.
First and foremost awesome job that is one massive gas boiler I just did a 6-section Weil Mclain gas Steam last week but I was just wondering I noticed the cold water was tied onto the hot side of the boiler I always learned to tie the cold water on to the return side of the Hartford Loop something about maybe cracking the boiler from the cold water when it's hot really don't know how true that is
Excellent job! Very professional!
@@PipeDoctor thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Could you use megapress on the steam piping? Happy new year. That piping will last 50 years.
Nice job! What were the final combustion analysis numbers?
You should always install mud legs on your piping coming out of the boiler returns so you can flush out the boiler once a year.
Yes, New Bedford MA is near the sea... Its a seaport town.
@@PipeDoctorit’s not the best town but it’s got nice towns near by. I would recommend Cape Cod area if your traveling in the area.
Also great job guys very very nice!
Very rare to see steam piped correctly near me , nice work.
Nothing sexier then fresh black pipe. Good work man
Nice move on using the second riser, cut down on the exit velocity
The Dry Ice will work as a bucket of steam. Nice Job, Guys. Happy New Year
Mikey, i wish i could show daniel the ice machines in restaurants around the city, i used to service many that required cleaning every month because the water quality even with micron filters south of 23rd street is so bad they just make slime and mold after a few days. I blame the water tanks that are never cleaned on the buildings. He would never want to use ice again. Now the schools in lawrence i know have great ice. The schools down there have great water and they change the filters often
yes new beadford is on the water it the start of the cape here in mass
I’m pretty sure I’m the one that told you about these. Menards sells them in bulk now. Box of them cost 22$ for 100
Buy a stair climber save your back they work well up and down the steps I have one
Make sure you are using the correct 150psi relief valve LOL
There are different size Phillips type heads.Japan has it's own as many a DIYer has discovered when working on their car,bike,TV etc.
You have Pozi drive, and JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard), both denoted by dots or dashes on the screw head. The pitch, depth, and widths of the driver is what sets them apart from better known Phillips.
I believe the make up water line should be installed on the other side of the Hartford loop. That stops cold water from being introduced into a hot boiler directly, and is better because a leak at the joint wouldn't drain the boiler.
Great point
New Bedford is a port city right on the water
that was like watching three girls and one boiler. 🤣🤣
just kidding, I know how heavy and awkward they are!
will you have corrosion between black pipe and copper on the PRV? Do you need brass between?
26:00 I really hate philips screws .. in europe ( Belgium) we use more pozidrive PZ ..and ofcourse Torx ( starhead ? ) Altough sheetrock screws seem to be sitll philips mostly ( PH2 )
Danielson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot your paycheck. Is that fair???? Again- run the checks Grasshopper!!! Good Job MP!!!!
Awesome video ! . Thanks
Hello Mikey
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
to you and your family
I just subscribed and watched your you tube channel videos they
Very good and very interesting
Videos
How's the business getting on by the way
Mikey ?

@MikeyPipes
Do you think that old boiler corroded like that due to the water softener?
25 years is a decent life but I've seen boilers last 50 years or more.
And that was one crusty old boiler!
Gigi knows all.
Drop header will produce drier steam, Dan Holohan references in his explanation of near boiler piping and in several videos by Gordon Schwiezer on his UA-cam channel.
For a practical reference ask your men to watch the video of the steam boiler piped in glass for the outdoor demonstrations about what’s really happening inside a steam boiler.
I’m not sure but it may be a video by one of the boiler manufacturers. It’s on UA-cam so everyone should be able to watch it.

Mr. Pipes. I want to do a 1/2 bath in my basement. Do you guys do this kind of work ? Western Suffolk. Thanks Jim
When are you guys going back to change out the AC and redo the duct work?
Awesome!
Nice install.
Your close to the king.🤣
Thanks again for the videos!
🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🥃🎯🏌🏻♀️
Stay safe
Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses!
do you ever install Peerless? I have had good luck with them
Ever try one of those electric dollies to get heavy items like boilers and water heaters up and down stairs? Old plumbers have bad backs...
@Mikey Pipes - Pipe Doctor Plumbing & Heating & Air I have taken several boilers in and out without one...and always wished that I had one. I guess...like the 4 inch vent pipe...you can't bring everything.
Hey Mike….What adverse affect does softened water have on a new boiler?
At 44:04 you got the ball valves in wrong. NEVER put the handle on the bottom. The handle goes on the side or top. This from a retired 597 fitter.
yes your knocking the grains of moisture down for drier steam ,the drier the steam the less damage to all components
Yes if you really want dry steam ,out a super heater on it 😂
can you install a vent damper on millivolt steam boiler ,? boiler came without one , crown jamaica boiler model number ; JBF-42SPD
I didn't see new Gordon air vents.not saying it's a mistake lol
do you ever insulate the steam pipes ? :)
Instead of cutting that 1" after the meter wouldn't it be easier to T off of the pex line going to the filter itself? It would still have been upstream but you might have had the stuff on the truck
Will you be insulating the steam pipes in the basement?
