I added the update to the description. It worked for at least another 5 months when I replaced it with a new faucet. The handle loosened up again but it didn't drip. Definitely worked well as an interim solution while I researched new faucets.

@@realhouseDIY Thanks!!

There should be a pre-charge listed on it. That is the pressure to charge to before installation or when there is no water pressure pushing against it. Otherwise, the pressure will typically read a little higher because of water pressure also pushing.

This way you can't really judge based on psi. There are other variables vs the standard way with just an empty tank. It really shouldn't lose much air over time, so I only pumped a couple times. Open the beverage faucet while pumping to make it easier.

Close to 30 psi, then the valve is doing it's job. But pressure typically shouldn't go above low 20s. Might be the expansion tank.

​@realhouseDIY oh yeah I went to check air pressure on the Expansion tank and water leaked out! Turns out it was full of water! I realized all this at 3am Christmas Eve morning! Hahahaha! Thank Gid the local hardware store was open at 7am and I went and got a new tank, swapped it out and it's all fixed! Seems this tank was bad for a while and I didn't know. My fault, I moved in here in early 2023 and I just assumed the tank was good. It was installed in Nov 2018. From here on put ill check it once a year. Oh and it weighed a ton. Its a foot over my head, it reminded me once I had to pull a full gas tank out of an 88 Fox Body up on a lift above my head. You get the picture! It was famn heavy.!! Next time I'll pop out the shader valve and drain it. Tha is for your awesome videos! Great help!

@@jayyk31 you're welcome and happy it helped!

If it's latched, then it might have jumped out of the groove somewhere.

I can't speak for all of them, but yes 15/20 most likely. If the pressure relief valve is letting out a lot of water, then I'd look into it more.

@ The relief valve isn’t leaking, I’m just wondering why is the boiler running at 30. Thanks so much for the advice.

@@cancerking9416 possibly the gauge reading high if the relief valve isn't letting out water. More likely the expansion tank though.

@ I personally change the expansion tank and relief valve two years ago. Also had someone change the tri gauge earlier. I will have someone check it out. Thanks once again.

No, mine was working fine so this is only describing how to do it. At least in this case with shutoff valves on either side, it's very easy, and just threads off and on.

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

You're welcome!

Try the HydroMaster brand on Amazon for $12. Quality seems the same as the Taco

30 psi is getting too high. Is the relief valve leaking water at that time? If no, the gauge could be reading a bit high. If yes, then the pressure actually is that high and most likely the expansion tank.

@@realhouseDIY Plumber came last night. Found the air stem at the bottom of the tank was slightly leaking air, which allowed the tank to contain too much water. He drained the system, removed & cleaned the air stem, then recharged the tank. The air leak is gone & now the gage only goes up to 21 PSI when furnace is running.

@@paulsickels8979 keep an eye on the pressure to ensure the tank air valve doesn't continue to leak. Or did he do something to fix it?

He cleaned it with something & checked it after everything was running again. The furnace is in the room that I spend a lot of time in & I am watching it closely. Thanks for your videos & reply.

You're welcome!

Very happy to hear it helped! Thank you

Enzian blue, and snow mist white

Looks good with the white trim

I like the eucalyptus but I just did the roof in pewter gray and it has blue, grey,brown hues in it my house is tan and as of now shutters are blue(need to be changed but projects are getting one after another). The only grey they offer is sterling silver and nightfall which is darn near black. The blue with solid cladding seemed too much and the Geneva blue looks like it’s too blueberry 🫐imo. This looks classy, nicer.

Sorry! Let me know if you need any more details on anything.

A residential hot water boiler system should be low pressure, not house/city water supply pressure. The boiler system only needs low pressure to operate.

I think I purchased from the local hardware store, but this looks like the same one: www.amazon.com/GE-Appliance-Medium-Lumens-2-Count/dp/B07MNTWRPS/

Thanks so much!

Search for "boiler flange gasket" and see if it looks like what you need. Sold online and hardware stores. Can also add the brand of the pump to your search.

Dripping at the door would be an issue with the front spring clamp. Dripping underneath near the front is either the gasket drain connection or the inner spring. I would probably take the outer spring off and look under the gasket.

@ thank you! had a pro look at it and turns out it was the inner spring that became too loose bc I decided to undo a loop to give myself a bit more slack. I do not want to go through the inner spring pain again, so happy to pay $149 to get it fixed ($35 new inner spring included). He installed a new inner spring that you can just screw in instead of fighting for your life. He ended up taking apart the whole washer and was confused how I even got the inner spring on without taking the whole thing apart, so I showed him your video 🤣

You're welcome!

😂

Good to know! Many of these models use the same parts but slight differences like the drains.

That's rough. I've had a bulb break like that before. Be careful. Shut off the circuit breaker for the oven (or unplug it). Then use needle nose pliers to grip the base and unscrew it. (Turn off power is in case you can't tell if the oven light switch is on or off. Mine you can't tell)

@realhouseDIY ok thank you

Not sure what the clip is or if I've ever seen that before. My pump is only a couple years old too. Just a standard bike tire pump.

Check gaskets near the boiler. Also possible drips running down from pipes going straight up. Is there an air vent on the boiler? Those can leak easily. If there are any panels that come off easily, can see if the boiler itself is leaking.

You're welcome!

You're welcome! For myself as well, one of the reasons I make the videos.

@ it was the two outlets next to each other, one has the black drain line and one is clean water line but I’d actually hooked it back up correctly but your video made me know it was correct for sure 😊

My only issue is finding a good/free app. I think the original one the instructions linked me to was no longer available a year or so later when I got a new phone. Still not too difficult to find an app to use.

No they can chew through it. Also want trapped water to be able to get out.

Cast iron is fine

Right, need to either take smaller passes or clean up the stripes for most types of snow. And yes mostly need to plan straight pushes, or push then lift a bit to turn.

@@martinsmythe3414 there should be enough wiggle room with copper pipes. Or is it installed around some cast iron pipes? Not moveable at all?

@@realhouseDIY Black pipe looks no wiggle room

@@martinsmythe3414 assuming no room to lift the pipe and no way to lower the floor, probably need to take apart more. Definitely leave it in better shape for next time!

Could there be any reason it needs to be on the floor Thanks

@@martinsmythe3414 not that I can think of. They're designed to hold their own weight even if broken and completely filled with water. The pipes are meant to support it as well. Pointed up is also the best orientation for air to escape it and get pushed out to the vents.

Operating pressure should be listed on a nameplate. Or what is the prv's psi rating? High pressure could be the regulating valve that is supposed to dial down the input water pressure from the city supply, or the expansion tank not working. I have some other videos in the playlist that could help: kzbin.info/aero/PLSYmFWIc57sFp2HmYjLq2bI424FSZ1efv&si=aRe81m1JSnISYdIS

@ we got a new valve and it says 150 PSI from our plumber but I don’t think it’s supposed to be 150 since it’s a 3 bed 1 bath residential house.

@ okay cool I’ll take a look at them thanks for the fast reply!

@alexmezzo6792 correct, 150 psi is for a water heater prv. Residential boilers shouldn't go anywhere near that high. Need to fix the source of the problem.
