NATURAL GAS INSTALLED FOR SWIMMING POOL HEATER

[@jgdroptop1]

Great job, nice to see you teaching the new generation of future plumbers👍🏻🇺🇸

[@ChuckBarron]

Thanks 👍Need them.

[@justinreynolds3935]

Finally a gas guy wearing proper rubber type gloves. I know several guys over the years who got LP on themselves wearing leather and their skin came off when the glove got "wet". Ouch. Cool video!

[@kikibellebubba1248]

way to take pride in your work and make it look pretty. great job team barron!

[@ChuckBarron]

Thank you

[@cpcorbitt]

That was kewl... I love that quick connect poly gas pipe.... nice job. You made that look easy, and it ain’t Way to go

[@ChuckBarron]

thanks

[@trevorhayes1079]

Good to see you bought a new pressure gauge

[@ChuckBarron]

lol....another gauge from shop. lol

[@stevenbrown5693]

Gotta love the bigger sizes of that poly line. We did a job years ago with 3". Ray Murray Inc brought us a BUTT FUSION WELDER to assembly the lengths. Don't you miss the old heat fusion days? Me neither! Thank god for those Perfection stab fittings! Right Chuck? '

[@ChuckBarron]

I personally have fused pipe. the only gas like this I run is for pools.

[@kenanderson2216]

Huh.... all I use is pipe dope and a big wrench. Rectorseal baby. FYI - Mega lock is a thread lubricant - I use for trim parts - that explains the teflon. T+2 gets her every time. Just keep a rag handy. Well done gents!!! I had to pick a little.

[@plumbbuild6517]

Man that's one heck of gas line it's larger than the main line on the meter!!! great job on the Sod keeping it clean.

[@Sctronic209]

Pressure drop

[@tomdale1313]

volume/btu = bigger pipe?

[@plumbbuild6517]

I've never had to run any thing larger than a. 1 inch line but I've never hooked up a pool heater.

[@ChuckBarron]

100' max run for this size heater with 1".. Had to jump to 11/4 . Just missed it by 30 ft.....figures.

[@ChuckBarron]

yes....the distance.

[@mikimiki195]

Was that quick connect for gas line? I never knew they make this. I know they have shark bite for water but this is news to me

[@xanderfilmreview]

what if there’s a leak of air at the cuffling when you run a air pressure test , is there anyway to fix or pull the pipe out and put it back in?

[@306foxbody]

Nice job boys...we only have to put 3 psi in our gas in Massachusetts..use the same stuff

[@ChuckBarron]

I always pump up more..it will leak faster for bubble test.....lol

[@xanderfilmreview]

what can you do if there’s an air leak at the rubber cuffling with the rings inside ..is there anything that can be done?

[@anthonys.5653]

Looking good Chuck!

[@ChuckBarron]

Just in time before the knats took over.

[@krehbein]

18:55..... a fresh shirt, yes! Can’t tell you how good it feels to change shirts after a hot sweaty day, even for the ride home. Don’t mind the guys giving you crap about wearing shorts. It’s your company, why not. I know for me pants and warm weather don’t go together.

[@mixtecop]

*just like to know like how much this cost? For around 80 feet long?*

[@kenenos6520]

Did you have to do the digging or was that done by someone else?

[@ChuckBarron]

Owner dug it and we backed filled it on this one.

[@xpert1111]

That vertical pipe that will be attached to the gas meter and at the heater doesn't need to be more secured in the ground?

[@andre_bella]

I was told you have to put sand, so if they are any rock it will not be crush against the pipes.

[@isreal976]

The pool company I work for requires a 2 foot deep ditch how deep you guys go ?

[@louisgianicos5184]

Wow you guys even put back the sod ...crazy ..usually we have home owner have sod and hole dug up by landscapers before we arrive ...I’m in Canada what’s a job like that go for over there ?

[@sal.pizzurro]

$4500?

[@ChuckBarron]

we got er done for the gentleman.

[@kennethmorello6287]

I have a similar job to be done. Can you give me an idea how much a job like that costs. A general cost would be fine. I know every job is a little different

[@Steve_Edberg]

Doesn't the gas line need to be electrically bonded with a #6 connected at each end??

[@godofapex2265]

i love the video old man this was a true inspiring it makes wanna pursue the field of plumbing know :) God Bless you and your family :)

[@ChuckBarron]

get some!

[@tracy3066]

Hey Chuck how do you know if your gas meter can handle the add-on of a pool heater? The gas heater will be 250,000 BTUs. The house used to be to a Duplex but it was changed over to just one house. I would appreciate your help!

[@thomasoberle8157]

Enjoyed video Chuck..... I guess that says something about my Sunday lol

[@ChuckBarron]

Right on! Sunday Funday.......i did the same.

[@Coroneljj]

I love your videos, a lot of insight.. keep it up!

[@ChuckBarron]

appreciate that.

[@kenenos6520]

When did you guys do this job? Today or 1 day this past week?

[@ChuckBarron]

This month

[@Jomievolution8]

I want to install Gas heater on my pool, but I have a brand new stamp concrete where the gas line goes through. I don’t want it to be destroyed, is there another way of doing it without digging

[@ChuckBarron]

fish a line. gas companies do it all the time.....you will need a few spot holes if a long run. good luck

[@blackhouse7646]

What is the cost of this? Also, what is the cost of gas monthly?

[@ChuckBarron]

couple days of labor and not sure on gas use.

[@gandy836]

Was that electric lines you went under and is that code?

[@ChuckBarron]

I will check with electrician on that one.

[@jesus14delcampo]

Was that about 150 ft? What size piping did you go with?

[@ChuckBarron]

11/4 or 11/2 i cannot recall.

[@jesus14delcampo]

@@ChuckBarron nice , you guys did a clean job. About to do one myself next week. First one by myself since I got into service plumbing. Thanks for the great video.

[@joshuagoetchius995]

Man what a clean Job . Good Job guys !!!

[@ChuckBarron]

Thank you! We try.

[@josejr823]

What size gas line would u suggest for a 175000 btu heater?? About 30ft of pipe! Thx in advance

[@ChuckBarron]

best to call your local guy for that info.

[@mdovideo1414]

I had to have my gas meter replaced because it was leaking and the gas company was nice enough to fix it the day I called them about it.

[@ChuckBarron]

nice. ya they good here too.

[@charlieramz3126]

Is this material for the line acceptable in the Midwest winters?

[@mbiker7]

Yes it’s approved. But we had to install it in a 4inch pvc or sewer pipe with vented ends. So that water would not condensate in the pvc

[@keithbrueton]

Well CB that's un altro client soddisfatto

[@ChuckBarron]

gonna have to translate both of your last comments....ha...stand by here i come google

[@eyezbloodshot]

How much would this project cost?

[@charlespelletier9621]

What brand gas pipe is that. Is it Con stab piping . The meter risers look like the same ones I use. The only reason I'm asking is because I thought you were supposed to chamfer the inside and outside of the poly so it wont leak.

[@ChuckBarron]

not sure of brand but we use tool for reaming it. Happy 4th!!

[@charlespelletier9621]

@@ChuckBarron Hope your 4th was a happy and healthy one. The only reason I asked was I didn't see you you ream out the ends. The brand I use we have to chamfer the ends. If there was a brand out there that doesnt require the extra step I would look into it

[@mijalyso]

How much does a job like this cost the homeowner?

[@milesolsen1171]

Cb !! dude you need a Tristand pipe vise.

[@ChuckBarron]

I have one at shop. who needs it on a pool job.....ME! lol

[@sal.pizzurro]

Even when we have help us old guys still work the hardest 😔

[@ChuckBarron]

thats right. but their time has to come quick...like now. ha

[@Steve_Edberg]

How deep is that trench?? It doesn't appear to be quite the required 24" deep. 🤔

[@johnmoore1495]

Depends on where you live, in my state most places require 18 inches, the most lenient I’ve seen is 12 inches

[@justinball7703]

what's the small yellow wire for?

[@daveyeoman8]

Tracer wire

[@herbertperez4082]

What is that tool called

[@ChuckBarron]

Propress.

[@bkoz319]

thanks for sharing. cool video

[@ChuckBarron]

Thanks for the visit. Stay safe B.

[@evanfairbanks2013]

Is CB2 an apprentice? You always say his “helper” or is CB2 a journeyman and his “helper” is his apprentice?

[@mdovideo1414]

What size is that gas line

[@ChuckBarron]

11/4

[@PontoonPilot]

what was the yellow PVC style line you used for the main run?? that wasnt the usual CSST Flex tubing I usually see... Im about to run my line to my heater as we speak

[@ChuckBarron]

under ground gas line.

[@PontoonPilot]

@@ChuckBarron Thanks!! Think I fond it. Just Yellow Poly Gas line. .(Home-Flex is what I found online )

[@mdovideo1414]

That looks like a 1-1/4 inch to me

[@ChuckBarron]

yes indeed....a 330,000 btu heater.

[@louietheplumber3609]

Knock it loose CB get some

Sloppy

[@ChuckBarron]

Show us Erick

[@andyajitsingh9127]

Another mesh shorts and Jordan’s type of day, again ? Not only your son but the other worker also ? Would that job really cost $4500 ? You need more aluminum pipe wrenches quickly !!! Since 1993 and still using heavy steel pipe wrenches ? You need a full set of Ridgid aluminum pipe wrenches !!! Can’t believe you’re still using them heavy a@@ wrenches ?

[@ChuckBarron]

Andy its coming. rarely use them but they be nice to have in the quiver. so many tools to buy.

[@andyajitsingh9127]

You’re right about too many tools to buy. Every professional on KZbin uses the aluminum ones only. I rarely see Stevie use those heavy a$$ wrenches. I believe he only has the aluminum ones in all sizes. You should have purchased one 10” and one 14” one. Sometimes 2 10” wrenches is not good enough for loosening or tightening fittings ?

[@ChuckBarron]

I know......We can go back and forth with what tools are pro and what tools are old pro.....What do you have?

[@andyajitsingh9127]

Chuck Barron no harm intended, I just don’t like to see an older feller work too hard. You could use them all day when you were in your 20’s. I have all aluminum, cost a pretty penny up front but saved myself back and shoulder pain. I think that’s worth it, especially on a hot day like that ?

[@ChuckBarron]

ordering me some more aluminums.

[@mdovideo1414]

I had to have my gas meter replaced because it was leaking and the gas company was nice enough to fix it the day I called them about it.

[@ChuckBarron]

nice...they good here too.

[@paulneal8376]

Is 1/1/4 suffienent for a 400 k pool heater 150 ft run

[@ChuckBarron]

Check with local service for sure.

[@ChiBearFan65]

Really nice trench work! Impressive! What did you guys use to connect the 90s at both ends? I have not seen that done before. I've used Ford fittings to make my transitions from plastic to iron pipe. Nice way to get the job done. Thanks for the vids... keep 'em coming.

[@ChuckBarron]

Thats coming soon.....connections to heater and meter.

[@tomdale1313]

since 1993...maybe they'll invite the crew to swim in that heated pool, good job keeping the crew moving forward, i see you allocated additional monies for t-tape (s) sUrFs Up Chuck you the man with 24" pipe wrenches

[@ChuckBarron]

my for arms still hurt...ha

[@mdovideo1414]

Did you mean to say a gas service for a pool heater in the introduction

[@ChuckBarron]

yes a gas service for pool heater. what did i say?

[@keycquence]

I like when you spit some saliva on the pipe 😂 priceless

[@ChuckBarron]

lol...batter up.

[@LaserFocused]

What size gas line did you use ? How many BTU is the heater?

[@ChuckBarron]

1/1/4 i think...300K maybe....

[@kylemierau6367]

curious what your state has for minimum depth. Saskatchewan is 15" finished grade to top of pipe minimum. under drive ways you gotta go lower. I usually go 2ft deep with same product continental stab fittings. we gotta sleeve the riser (usually abs, minimum 18" piece, 6" above grade 12" below), have a union, ball valve and cap and then the underground permit is just for only that. to hook up the risers to the gas meter is another permit. $$$

[@ChuckBarron]

12"-15" oh wow two permits...they want that pay don't they. 1 permit here.

[@kylemierau6367]

@@ChuckBarron 3 if u include appliance... $$$

[@ChuckBarron]

wow....ya on permit covers all..heater would require a fire permit also. thats 2.....ha

[@rommelbryce-thurton7721]

"'Hey" Chuck ,milwauKee tools , has a cordless cutting tool that cuts up to "2" inch PVC.

[@ChuckBarron]

yes I saw....its on my wish list.

[@WilliamSmith-pz5nw]

Great job. Why not use gas leak check. I think it holds better than windex..

[@ChuckBarron]

All we had and I have used it in the past. I do see the point though.

[@raiders3417]

Great video thinking of getting one for next summer whats the cost for something like this?

[@ChuckBarron]

Depends! so many factors

[@leehernandezbloggs2543]

That yellow wire is the grounding wire ?

Tracer wire for locating.
