[@monterrozacesar5]

You're a hard working man.😃

[@Garth2011]

Bradford White are good water heaters vs. the other big names? Sweet that you chucked that aerator in the bathrrom...some folks will use something useless and put up with complete crap conditions.

[@juliocalvet9839]

another great vid steven great work.

[@tonyshelton9318]

Dang man thats slick good job!

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

i like doing HWH's. fun little job, that kills time. good video Steve.

[@gunsnstuff4040]

Are you a Licensed Plumber?

[@khangle8417]

Next level Mama. ..Thank you Mr Steven for showing whole world how hard pro woking Man make Living ..and passing your trade experience s to us. ..

[@gencii.c]

Steve you should definitely pick up one of those Makita brushless impact drills, those screws would of went in so quick, one of my favorite tools! Nice job once again

[@brnmcc01]

He does have a little impact, I think it's a dewalt though. I use Milwaukee.

[@gencii.c]

brnmcc01 looks like a porter cable or something but the torque on those brushless drills are amazing, makes putting in screws a breeze, plus much longer battery life since theres no brushes on the motor, then you could also pick up one of those battery powered brushless angle grinders.

[@Fireship1]

Nice neat install Steve! They all ready for a hot shower now!

[@dalltex]

Nice work Steve!

[@edwardpetty5401]

Nice install Steve

[@winkhvac62]

Thumbs up good job

[@robertmatchett2087]

Great job Steve, Nice work on the video.

[@greg778123]

You almost got it in our eye

[@williamdyckman9704]

Steve, you make it look so easy, your the pro !! Thanks, for the video.

[@michaelpadovani9566]

nice job Steve as always!

[@djkulp1]

western NY, hard to find any water heater, around here, smaller than a 40 gallon.

[@evanheffley1625]

You must have pretty good water quality where you are Steve, where I am, by the time the heater went that gate valve "might" shut, but it would break trying to reopen for sure with all the corrosion in it. Our heater installs include a new ball valve, always.

[@thundermuffin8365]

great video.

[@jamesmclaughlinprimitivele4587]

Is that valve on top of the tank a built-in mixer?

[@patmadix172]

James Mclaughlin looks like a vacuum breaker to me

[@williamnickerson7166]

why not use Unions on both hot and cold?

[@joegrenier9544]

I'm a licensed plumber in MA, been enjoying your videos steve. Good to see real world situations instead of ask this old house

[@jareds7969]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

I always change out the gate valve for a good ball valve, neglio.

[@he-got-a-new-mommy]

That's not a gate valve

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

@@he-got-a-new-mommy that orange handle valve is definitely a gate valve. If you think it's not, what is it?

[@he-got-a-new-mommy]

@@JohnstonPettigrew it is called a Globe valve, look up what a globe valve is. Gate valve that size has a larger body.

[@he-got-a-new-mommy]

@@JohnstonPettigrewoh you find that globe valve ?

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

@@he-got-a-new-mommy gate and "globe" are both linear action valves. Most codes in the U.S. call for a ball type valve on water heater new installs. What country are you in?.......Australia??

[@scotthompson6631]

nice videos steve I got some of the young kids in our company hooked on your videos they are learning a lot from you we do mostly commercial work but they are getting really good ideas from a real working man keep the gundy coming for the young guys

[@yearroundhvac8057]

She's a leaker mama. Good job.

[@dougpenrod8867]

You don't use flex gas lines or flex water lines why is that

[@gyver471]

I swear you'll hate me for saying this but I love when things don't go right or everything isn't 123 like they like to put it in shows. Your videos show real life situations of "shit happens" and that is priceless truly next level oh mama lol.

[@jeffm2787]

Cause and effect, same applies to shit.

[@thermionic1234567]

How long did all of this take?

[@Renville80]

Ya need a stairclimber dolly (3 smaller wheels instead of the large wheels).

[@usbigdaddy]

hey Steve how do you build that hand pump you use to drain water out of the toilets in your videos

[@gerryrig5012]

Sold on EBay and Amazon..

[@jmrhvac4542]

nice job Steve can you show what kind of cart you have Thanks

[@jayshad06]

seems like you dont answer back to people that ask you important info huh? well here goes anyway .... why dont you ever use flex hose for the top water connections with compression fittings for the existing copper pipe to tie together ? cause of code in state you live ? or cause its not reliable? please reply .

[@stevenlavimoniere]

not legal and its a shit job ,they might leak

[@jayshad06]

Ok thank you for your reply ! Stay safe

[@petergoss557]

how makes those yellow pliers

[@254JROCK]

Love how u say " that's what I Do " dope that union mama

[@yosefahmad6164]

Why you left the a rusty cold valve there and also the 1/2” gas valve needs to be replaced

[@omarujagana8012]

yosef ahmad Hi sometimes I would say is all depends how they paid

[@affordablesolutions8516]

I have seen some of his clients homes i wonder on some if he would even get paid. But new cold valve new cost, new gas valve new cost. Some people don't have it in their budget. I'm sure Steve would have sold the upsell if he felt it necessary.

[@dklucas1]

I have learned alot from watching your videos in 2 years...thank you sir Looking slim and trim Steve keep up the good work

We gotta put earthquake straps here in California and we're supposed to pull a permit for w.h installs. As if the state doesn't take enough of our money. After drawing the blueprint and time at the city office it ends up costing the homeowner around $800 more.

[@TheHobbyShopFilms]

Are dielectric unions required? Are vacume breakers required on a lower level (gas) or (electric) water heaters? And how about thermal expansion tanks? Just curious, my gas water heater has dielectric unions, no vacume breaker, and no thermal expansion tank. I was told that I am required to put in an expansion tank if I change my water heater? and what about a vacume breaker. Thanks for info. Probably another video, just to explain my questions. Take Care -Todd

[@dylandouglas5466]

TheHobbyShopFilms all depends on local code. Here In WI we do not need any of those things, no tanks or vacuum breakers or anything on residential. I always install dielectrics just for ease of replacement as well.

[@mrkrasker9609]

Steve, could the grease like gunk in the aerator be what's left of a disintegrated dip tube from the water heater?

[@jamesmclaughlinprimitivele4587]

man they must have some serious water pressure that shit was loud

[@55098]

those new tanks look way easier to troubleshoot

[@xingjuchen4919]

Sean M. 👍

[@FixthisCD]

Copper soldering tank....mapp gas?

[@dsciarrino3663]

On. Grond no. Good.

[@jimwainwright5725]

so do you pull permits on this work with the city or county

[@gyver471]

I love the real world situations the working around things heck even the cursing. I hate shows that act like everything takes two minutes. Thanks for keeping it real the old gundy is back at it again👌🏼

[@SuperWoodyboy]

Thought the flame was supposed to be BLUE, not yellow??

[@scapmans1079]

Just like the last video, that paste is the disinterested anode in the water heater.

[@DONALD1951]

Yes, def screw the smoke pipe together.

[@bradstevenson1750]

hey steve what is your opinion on wall hung water heaters

[@tdgdbs1]

I just installed an on demand water heater ordered from Amazon; the brand is EcoSmart 27. Saved me $50 on electric this month, so I figure it will pay for itself in a year. Instant hot water; love it!

[@gregkeel4155]

[@djsndcx]

I'm pretty shure chooching means working ;)

[@Soupyxo]

fritz also means poop... thats why he tells the woofer to push out a fritz

[@darinpugliese5103]

Steve needs to be on SNL

[@lexmarks567]

guy calling selling life insurance. I like the ones where they call and are like your car warranty is about the expire. the vehicles from 2001 it doesn't have a warrenty no more lol.

[@deanfoster465]

In my area we would have to upgrade the smoke pipe to 4 inch, and run a chimney liner.

[@plumbmaster7022]

love me some auto cuts

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

please, some tape on the new aerator to avoid a deep gash.........speaking of gash, that house was totally neglio'd up....unhunhh.

[@OGcynicalpotato]

whoever put that gas line in was doing you a little solid.

[@GorgonnogroG]

have no idea why you would have to wear gloves mama ... no idea

[@jamesmclaughlinprimitivele4587]

aren't you afraid home owners will learn how to do the work themselves? ROFLMAO

[@fredro409]

My plumber always says "the only difference between you and me is tools and experience"! Steve makes it look easy because he's been doing it since Heck was a pup, If I tried that shit I'd blow my house up!

[@melwashington9250]

Chuching mama chuchin

[@ColTerryDaniels]

Yo, please explain what you are doing it and why so people can understand better. You do it sometimes but not enough

[@djsndcx]

He's taking out the old boiler and putting in a new one. Some piping was too bad/short so there had to be some piping put in place.

[@ColTerryDaniels]

Lol, I know what he was doing but I was basically commenting to him to explain to people watching that aren't experienced at what he is doing.

[@imjustapersonhi]

There's literally no reason to have a vacuum breaker on a water heater when it's in the basement and there are no fixtures below it. Just FYI for all of you watching this that aren't plumbers.

[@VinylToVideo]

Avoids buckling the heater if the fire department hooks up outside.

[@workingman7865]

SharkBites BRuh

[@brucecameron7073]

Do you want leaks BRuh, causes thats how you get leaks Bruh..lol

[@americanstreet8704]

A professional using shark bites really? And it would up the cost and more chance of leaks they are not for professionals

[@bbm8873417]

Nice install Steve
