im lost in the pipe maze, help

Thanks Mike. I learn a lot from your videos.

Mikey Pipes! Beautiful system you built out there!! Sweet bro 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

How true is that you are not supposed to put a co detector directly in the air flow bc it gives false readings???

Does this unit have a brazed plate heat exchanger for hot domestic hot water? If so do you also need to descale the heat exchanger on the heating side as well?

The control circuit was open, not shorted. Short would take out the 24volt fuse

A mechanical thermostat will go short when calling for heat but an electronic thermostat would go dark if it shorted the line. The best it can do is have different resistance for on and off in that way the display can stay on. The box it connects to detects the difference and controls a relay so the electronic thermostat looks like a mechanical thermostat from that point on.

How old was the unit??🤔 but regardless she be short on life left😬

Damn that water was dirty, never seen the water get that dark when flushing units

Jose is famous

Great work

The water level in my steam boiler was rising by itself. Tech said it was the vxt 120 and he would replace lt for $2780.00. Turned out it was the domestic coil and not the feeder. Glad I called a different HVAC company for second opinion. I would have been out all that money and still had the problem with the rising.

Good narration Pipe's 👍 good video 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

very good video Mike and excellent commentary also 👍

Preventative Maintenance helps Avoid an Overnight/Weekend Break Down of your System. It may even Save your Families Life if Cracked Heat Exchanger is Found.

Excellent video step by step very classy that you placed your sticker on the right of the other

I wonder if the water boss lady from LA who makes 750k could do your job Mikey 🤪

Replacement time! 💰💰💰 to Mikey! 👍

You ain't kidding there's alot going on there. Oooofa

Thanks for this video after a few days trying to change the C To F it works so that we can use our heat for this cold temperature yr a funny 😂u tuber but a champ to me God bless

I notice you never mention the wall hung junk anymore. I'm thinking there was an agreement about that....

1st😂

Dude this is the only thing on the whole internet I could find on resetting this damn thing. Thank you so much.

Had a similar situation. I seperated the split curcuit and made two zones. So much better. Also, before I put in my Jackson controls internet wifi thermostats, I put those fixed construction site thermostat pigtails right in the thermostat. I used the 70 degree ones because the other part of that law you cited is "every room" is 68 min and theres always that one colder room.

Hello Mike, I wish you were in Chicago this 2025. It has brought some challenges with a steam boiler on the second floor. I believe the big companies that advertise a lot do not have well experience people. It seems like they are more like salespeople. 2 people came so far, and without checking any parts, they tell me that the steam boiler needs to be replaced. Yesterday I was able to get a different company, again the guy didn't test anything he is going to change a bunch of parts, he told me is a kit, lower level pump, pig tail, side glass, water feeder and all the little electronics, I feel like I don't have a choice. Your videos are great, but I don't feel comfortable messing with that.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought another contractor installed all that plumbing/system. I believe you guys have worked on it before, but did your company actually do all that installation?

Heating a residence by boiling water is like an obsolete rotary phone. Overly convoluted, complicated expensive. The world uses Mini Splits, ever wonder why? The U.S. is decades behind in heating technology

Like watching you trouble shoot. You have learned well.

I could see that sticker was crooked when he was putting it on. 😂

I still don't understand what the problem was. You said one pipe was not hot although it seems like it should have been? Why wasn't it hot?

Not sure you can say those disparaging marks about Brooklyn. I’ve lived here since 1988 and have had no problems. Just kidding we got a bad rep. How did you get anode rod back in with no headspace? Thank you. Bob

shouldve done a taco relay board, wouldve been really clean :)

i feel your pain

All those high efficiency, units don’t save customers money at all the maintenance and repair. Is a lot more expensive Just sell them a 50 gallon A.O. Smith.

My guess your not in NEPA. Odd to see that unit inside mine is outside the boiler. Still its running way to Rich, have to attempt to adjyst that. Boiler was full of soot.

I wish I could talk in customers homes like that. Where I'm at there's too many feelings to be able to say what you mean. People got so butthurt over the years.

I hate renting. Have 98 of them, but it's my job. Lol

Thank you, thank you for making this video. It was simple to understand and made total sense. It was extremely helpful in MI with temps In the single digits. My wiring looks exactly like that system right before you cut it. Im able to now clean mine up with confidence

Biggest question how was your vacation?

A metal covered door might keep fire from spreading to other parts of residence

It is hard to believe that we all believed a face diaper would keep us from getting sick...LMAO

WOW. Welcome to New York.

Love radiant. Nothing better than quiet, well laid pipe.

Fire and floods are 2 things that you don't want

It's always a good idea to exercise mixing valves while there is flow when doing the annual service. Good looking install. Since I retired 2 yrs ago I loved piping large residential and commercial boiler rooms.

I like Steve. But he lets out too many F bombs and S bombs for me to take.
