This is why I love Steve Lav. Some would look at a 50 year old gas boiler and immediately yell REPLACE. Not Steve. Well done.

[@Fireship1]

Run it till the cast sections leak baby! The old Pennco in my own house was 40 years old and working great until the floods of Sandy took her out. I replaced with a cast iron Slant Fin, been almost ten years and no issues. No high efficiency junk here mama!

[@chuckquinn8026]

Kick that can down the road for another 1,000 miles Steve! 👍👍. Breaks your heart to see Miss Molly’s face when she realizes that you’re not getting back in the truck 😢

[@richardbackofenjr.1131]

Here is a tech tip. With the water feeder on "fast fill" close the purge drain valve to build pressure. Once pressure builds on the boiler to 25 psi open the valve. The added pressure helps push the water through the system. Rinse and repeat until all the air is out.

Great Job Steve..

[@Surgekoul]

learn something new every time I watch. good job guy.

[@williamdyckman9704]

Steve, always learning something from your video's. You have such experience from over the years !!

[@ptek1185]

Are there any boilers made today that are good enough to last 40 or 50 years? My 1980 Slant Fin is still going at 42 years.

[@dwightlarson6449]

You are what America needs everywhere STeve. You are a true mensch.

[@scottk0623]

I came to the same conclusion regarding circulator gaskets. I always like the “black” circulator gaskets but about 10 years ago I changed my thinking also. I believe that the “o- ring” circulator gaskets of today are made of better neoprene than the early series were.

[@speng72]

Look at the thickness of the flanges on the old and new pumps. Wow!!!

[@DAS-Videos]

Steve was only 7 years old when that boiler was installed.

[@tim5158]

Even wife’s don’t last fifty years anymore, ever 15 years I get a change. It’s costly but worth it!

[@ingloriousbastard4189]

Hello, Steve and Miss Molly. Hope all is well. We got a leader. Next level y'all.

[@aland680]

"Bend over at the table we'll give you a good rebate". Hahahaha Love this guy!!

[@jalton9416]

Great work.

[@marty0715yt]

Curly Joe used to humm when he worked! How about a nuck nuck nuck every now and then Steve??

[@japmlp09]

I say,a kazoo..👍👍

[@russellhancock9765]

I watch Scotty Kilmer. He has been a Mechanic for over 50 years. He says that Our Electric Grid can't handle Electric Cars.

[@desertbob6835]

They're handling it now.

[@russellhancock9765]

I was just passing on The information that Scotty Kilmer said. He has been a Mechanic for over 50 years.

[@ranger178]

yeah everyone needs to only charge their electric cars in the middle of the night when we have extra power very not very convenient if you work night shift or need to charge mid day

[@jblyon2]

Well he is in Texas, and there's a whole lot the Texas grid can't handle, on purpose...

[@jeffdickens7019]

Hey there Steven just like to say I've been watching your videos for about a year now I have really learned a lot on how to do certain things from watching your video how they do appreciate that for you doing these videos and Miss Molly she is a mess I have a black long hair Chihuahua 6 years old these dogs are very hard to find the long hair Chihuahua now you can find the regular Chihuahua slick hair but Miss Molly it is a cutie pie keep up the good work Steven enjoy your videos

[@matthiaspaulsen5883]

Fantastic Job, Steve! My Oilboiler is 30 years old and still working fine. Original in my house is a gravity heating with a cast iron boiler, burns char or wood. Everything is in very good condition and works still perfekt. My plumber is the german Steve! 😉 Greetings from germany!

[@jamesgillies3710]

great job Steve. like your channel.

[@ericfraser7543]

My town requires a back flow check valve on the main service line. They install it with their meter. I am surprised they don't require one in the South Boston area...

[@davidparizek6741]

When in doubt do another Turn that’s a first time for me Steven 👍

[@popeyedavis8012]

[@JohnnyCab]

Good honest job again Steve, taking care of the old people , good man

[@KurtMGibbs]

Bahco is a Swedish company that makes excellent tools.

[@antoniomancini1794]

Good job Steve

[@drem5315]

Molly looks a mad because it took so long. She's not mad just disappointed in you Steve. Lol

[@havingfun661]

Take your time when you take things apart that way you wont drop nothing.

[@jefftherailroadenthusiast8889]

Stuff back then was built to last several years, now the stuff you buy don't even last a year.

[@japmlp09]

Hey Steve,maybe next time, bring a kazoo 🤣🤣🤣 Great video !!

[@tomstyer375]

I have a Peerless Oil Boiler for 25 years still going strong. Only problem is now, Oil here in Northeast Pa. is 5.25 per gallon.! times 150 gallons minimum. Time to go back to Electric 🤔

[@agostinodibella9939]

Wow Steve, 50 years and that boiler is still going strong!

[@urbanbshvac]

Rainy day out there bud 👍

[@JasonPullara]

every day miss molly works is a good day

[@GlenS123]

1/2" loop piping!?! They must need to run 200°F water! Fricken hacks!!!

[@matthewgregory8218]

One of the final no heat calls soon changing to a no cool call

[@marks.4388]

Another great job!!!

[@J-Colt]

you'll have to restock the truck! Great job Steven.

[@ranger178]

i wish i had not gone with the high efficiency crap my ultra 80 weil mclain shuts off every year with a supply too fast Error around the same date each year and then again, a second time 2 months later if it dies, I'm going to find old fashioned pilot light gas boiler

[@edwardkuntush9339]

Good job Steve looks like you kicked old crusty down the road…again

[@mikemorassi210]

Time to invest in electric car charging stations.....Have terminals in the rest stops that have gas.

[@upallnight888]

She's a leaker momma!!!

[@WeatherNut27]

Nice job! Steve is saving another customer again mama. Next level

[@ptyptypty3]

and all that for a price of only $150 .. such a deal.... what? Time and Material?... what's that?.. oh, okay .. $550.. that's more like it. :) well at least we gots heat!! BooYa !

[@tjk1009]

More valves than a submarine.

[@MattR58]

Good Job Steve. Electric cars I want to know what they going to do with the batteries when they go bad. Put them in the land fill yea that's good for the environment .

[@desertbob6835]

No, they go back yl yhr factory they came from for reclamation/recycling. Modern Li ion batteries are 96% recyclable.

[@robertwright2583]

You'll need a bank loan to buy a new one!

[@larryiaquinta428]

Great job 👍👍👍that boiler is one of a kind Utica should be proud they don’t build them like that anymore

[@tonym6920]

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍. Great job Steve!

[@robertgentile4498]

Happy was so special today.... Bend over the table... I give you a good rebate.. haaàa haaa.

[@reese8752]

Do they get more than a dribble out of a shower head?

[@cornbreadburgess1950]

Great job man,up and running now Mama LOL, Steve that steam is something else to work with,1.5 pounds of pressure will heat the sears building to hot just open the window lol .see ya on the next one brother.

[@ericfraser7543]

They give tax credits for wood fired boilers too... its not even greener burning fire wood generates more CO2 than natural gas.

[@kevo8225]

They only work with organic firewood 😅

[@rodneyskinner7741]

Hello Steve!

[@russellhancock9765]

They say Our Electric Grid is to outdated for Electric Cars too.

[@jayclark5912]

This was a good one brother Steve. Boiler wasn't built on a Friday.

[@ptrollan]

bend over the table you'll get your rebate !!!!!!!!!!! busted out laughing at that one !!!!!!!!!!! I'll listen to the master plumber and get a regular boiler that last

[@popeyedavis8012]

[@marklepe12]

She's a scratchy one Mr. Grinch

[@eddiehollner8801]

Hi Steve and miss Molly
