I just wanted to say that I am one of the top rated radiant design boiler installers in western Colorado, (not tooting my horn by any means) and this probably the best video I have seen!!! I have been doing boilers for 30 years, been to hundreds of hours of manufacturer schooling, and installed boilers integrated with geothermal, radiant staple up, slab on grade, radiant staple down with gypcrete, and warm board installations. I have done small boilers up to 2 million btu boilers. Very nice Job guys!!! I love Rinnai as a tankless, but use Weil McLain or Lochinvar for my high effeciency and combi boilers, but everyone has their favorites. I have recently become an instructor for a college in Grand Junction, CO., and am using this video to show one of my classes how this works! Its long, but accurate, informative, and interresting. Keep it up guys!!!

[@abbswinston4258]

I have no plans of ever getting this done (I can only wish), but for some reason I find it so satisfying just to watch and in no way am I bored due to the length. Glad I find your page because your prior video I watched was how to wire a new circuit which was exactly what I needed. Thank You for your videos.

[@ranbymonkeys2384]

What a perfect example of what happens when you take pride in your work. Everybody knows that guy (those guys) that don't give a flip about what they do at the workplace, imagine them doing work like this. Ya right. That looks insanely good, like a work of art. You sound young, I thought that kind of workmanship was long gone.

[@jackofalltrades5199]

MILWAUKEE! It’s a pleasure to watch your work and listen to your commentary. The end result is exceptional and you should be very proud of your attention to detail. I’m now retired, but I can tell you without patting myself on the back that you remind me of me in that area. my wife says it’s my German blood. Lol God bless you my friend you’ll go far.

[@fooflateka]

Dude. You the man, man. I wish you were in my state. Peace of mind hiring someone who knows what they are doing and with integrity.

[@petersantamaria9374]

Benjamin, I wanted to thank you for the information you provided with this video. After searching for weeks, I finally concluded this was the path for me. Came over to YT, searched for the solution I envisioned and there it was, clearly outlined by you. Wonderfully done: detailed, documented, and comprehensive. Thank you so much!

[@amytaylor1054]

Hello there , how are you doing today?God bless you!!!❤

[@jeffhorton742]

MILWAUKEE That video was awesome! Great to see that boy getting a head start on earning a decent living one day. I hope his Grandad is around to see you doing great work as well.

[@patrickg875]

Probably the best in depth video I have seen yet. You do an incredible job explaining this stuff

[@micheljansen85]

Euro fella here, I have a 160m2 (1780sq ft) living area. UFH and design temp -7,2c. Brick house built post WW2 (1952) when the area i live in was given to Netherlands (German again now). Cavity wall insulation, mostly dual and some triple pane windows. Roof still needs to be done. Heating it with a 12kw air-water heatpump (vaillant arotherm plus) and the whole system pushes the water on just 1 large internal pump that can move 2m3 of water per hour. Indoors temp is 20c (68F). Pinched the supply upstairs on the manifolds as you showed so its alway 15-16c (59f) in the upstairs area. Bathroom is the only solenoid managed area, mornings and evenings its 21, rest of the day its a setback to 18c. My heatpump runs weather compensated so it automaticly adjusts the the supply temp. Once a day, by using a diverter valve, it heats a 300 liter cilinder for domestic hot water which i‘ve put on a circulation pipe that runs 6.30am-9.00am and 5.30pm-7.30pm so near instant hot water at the tap/shower. The thing i love about my system, was the ease of install for a non-plumber like me. The large main runs and technical room i planned in copper (press), the rest in pex(pressfit). Ended up making it all in pex due too the low temps it sees. Max temp for heating is 32c and domestic hot water is 55c And i agree sharkbite‘s only use should be emergencies, and even then copper/steel press is usually just as fast and gives a permanent repair.

[@justinweberg4083]

MILWAUKEE! Great video as always! As a fellow Believer in Jesus Christ, I so greatly appreciate your content and Spirit-filled manner in presenting work videos! As a pastor of a small, rural church, I have been greatly assisted by your content on many occasions as I work on our building projects, and serve different folks within our congregation and community. In fact, one of your videos this past summer (full panel replacement) came in answer to prayer as I was helping my father-in-law (a missionary to Mexico) work on replacing his panel here in the States. I wasn't confident with dealing with shared neutrals, and you addressed it and answered my questions as if you were here working with me! While I hope you benefit financially from taking the time to record, edit and post your videos, I want you to know that you have been a blessing to me personally, and to our ministry in New Hampshire! God bless you, Brother!

[@BenjaminSahlstrom]

That's so awesome! I am very thankful for the unique opportunity of being able to help people for a living and pray that I am able to be a witness for Him even on simple things like repairing miscellaneous things. Keep up the good work in New Hampshire!!!

[@nieldcreek2098]

Milwaukee… I’m really enjoying the schooling I’m receiving here. I would like to mention (because you asked) that I would prefer 45 minute videos instead, simply because I watch on my phone and it’s hard to adjust the time bar on such a long video, as I stop and advance or rewind to review certain sections. I do enjoy your professionalism, and this video will be quite valuable in the future as I attempt a diy installation in my future home.

[@dennisleazott718]

Ben . . . this is the radiant heat installation video I've been waiting for! Thank you and I love the long format. I have a 2 level barn with attached garage that I will be installing RH inot this summer. The detail you provided has filled in spaces left out of the many other videos I've watched and will be a huge help to me. You rock buddy!

[@Shifffyy]

Way to go Ben. It makes me happy to see young people passionate about their trade. I hope you’re always able to find that spark

[@Okipouros]

as a mechanical engineer, I did 1 installation my self. Ofcourse designed everythign in Solidworks, and had such faith, that even pre-drilled the mounting holes. Everyting fitted great, didnt cut twice anything, and even did some funky 45-degree to to 45 degree turns, instead of 2 90s when I had to go up and right. Every time i see it, I get some satisfaction

[@melissalaird2006]

MILWAUKEE! Loving all the detail. Finally someone took the time to show me the correct way to solder pipes!

[@greaterdesigns1]

This is not meant to be a sales video or an ASMR video. This was absolutely perfect for content and explanations. You do an incredible job not stumbling across your words. Great quality content Ben!

[@BenjaminSahlstrom]

Thank you!

[@muh_mahdy]

😊😊😊😊😊

[@haroldhughes1261]

MILWAUKEE Just wrapping up my own 3 zone installation; heading to filling the system. Your effort certainly gave me some new insights and I am appreciative. Cheers!

[@ericmartinson8910]

MILWAUKEE; It was truly awesome to watch the craftsmanship and the thorough explanation of your boiler install What was even more impressive was teaching your son to be proud of his work, people have lost pride and workmanship and it’s truly wonderful to see

[@indeedgrasshopper]

MILWAUKEE Great video. Thanks for making it. Been thinking about adding radiant heat to my downstairs for a long time and this (plus your previous video on the topic) seems to have covered much of what I'll need to know. This is probably the longest KZbin video I've ever watched and I enjoyed it. Can't explore all the nerdy details without taking the time. Thanks again!

[@adamgrey268]

I'm glad this kid knows how to negotiate. Good parenting.

[@Ymh860]

You went the extra mile! Now this is a tutorial video, i felt like i was the helper on the job 🤣

[@amytaylor1054]

Hello there , how are you doing today?God bless you!!!❤

[@sac2376]

MILWAUKEE - I just completed the same project on my new house. 3 zones, one for the basement floor and 2 in the living areas. I used mixing valves to regulate the temperature of the in each manifold/zone. the living area is standard wood framed with the tubing between the plywood using the same aluminum plates you stapled to the bottom of the floor. For domestic hot water I installed a heat exchanger in the primary heat loop. Using a flow switch I turn on a pump that sends heated water thru the exchanger to heat the domestic hot water.

[@johnnyseegs]

Channel Locks…always have been, always will be. I really liked the long video/full install format. Someone mentioned that it’s a bit of a pain to scroll chapter on a phone, which it is. But having access to a full install AND be able scroll chapters…pros outweigh the cons. Great content

[@BenjaminSahlstrom]

One way that's easier to "scroll" is to click on the timestamps in the description instead of dragging back and forth.

[@GambleGodOfWar]

As a 1st year HAVC student & apprentice in Canada I have to say that, This right here is Great a refresher. Love your content as it is very helpful, as to others this may be a whole lot of mystic work mumbo jumbo but it is quite simple when you break it down to brass tacks. It truly a pleasure to watch you work and listen to your commentary almost like a podcast/ Yet I find it interesting as some of your Gas and Building Codes are some similar and some are different. Koodos, and you have my subscription for more content

[@melissalaird2006]

I love the longer format,,,,, I just have to find the time to watch it all..... I also loved the full length video you did on hooking up an electrical panel. I told a friend of mine about it that was building a house with absolutely no experience and when I saw his panel I could tell immediately that he watched your video.

[@brandonrogers7942]

i will add though i like how you use simplicity with this because that is definitely the way to go good job man great video

[@jaywmeinen]

Thanks to Josh and your young apprentice, Oly! I can’t believe that I watched the whole 2:55 but I found it fascinating. I really appreciate your workmanship and attention to detail.

[@laurakogen7215]

Amazing video. Thanks so much for posting this content. So useful to be able to see everything from start to finish with all the detail and the list of tools and products.

[@AlecTurner]

MILWAUKEE ... broski I learned more from your video than working with a HVAC tech for months. Excellent my brother.

[@MrNamegame]

So I was just watching this because it came up in my feed from the overnight videos I play for noise while sleeping, and noticed you also have a Fit! Love these little nuggets so dang much, lol

[@BenjaminSahlstrom]

The Fit is AWESOME. Mine is a a manual which is super fun.

[@lossless4129]

Dude I just can’t express just how much I appreciate your teaching, pace and style

[@SHarris64]

Love the long format videos. Great information. Most comprehensive video I’ve seen on a hydronic system. Thanks!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jjleda7324]

I bought a 1961 ranch style home. It had a oil fired boiler with baseboards. I replaced the whole system. I went with a combi boiler and installed radiant floor heat. I used a different style system called ultrafin. It doesn't attach to the floor, but is suspended 2 inches below the subfloor. We absolutely love it. Unlimited hot water, and nice warm floors. And I did it all myself. The only problem that i have, my local building inspector can't approve it. He states that the installation is correct and I did nothing wrong, but homeowners can't install their own boilers. Thankfully, I have no intention of selling. Great video. I did watch it all the way to the end.

[@kozmyqmynd]

You are a bad man Ben l thoroughly enjoyed watching you work and l admire your work even more, you absolutely rock!!!. Here l am looking for a video about my mini split ac unit, stumbled across your video and l could not stop watching. It was even more fun watching you teaching your son, which reminded me of my dad I. He he always had me either watching or helping him work and as a result I'm very handy today with DIY projects, saving myself tons of money and feeling very accomplished when I'm finished. Keep up the great work man I'm a huge fan 😃👏👏👏

[@jaywmeinen]

MILWAUKEE You really do nice work. Perhaps the most amazing thing is gluing all that PVC and not having any purple primer showing!! No matter how careful I am, I always manage to have some primer showing. Of course, I’m no professional.

MILWAUKEE! This video auto played after one I was watching. I watched the whole frigging thing because it was put together in a way that kept my attention and I just had to keep going. Good job. No leaks was the most impressive part. Huge thumbs up for teaching the kid, he'll be the best help you can find by the time he's 15 years old.

[@stardustoniondunce]

MILWALKEE!!! Sorry, you did a shout-out for that quiet impact driver. I love mine so much. I took a picture of me using it with a sleeping baby on my chest and a toddler sleeping on the other side of the wall. I sent the picture to Milwaukee and they sent me a shirt and a baby onesie. It is impressively quiet. (And I've got good kids used to the construction noise.) Thank you for your video. I'm feeling significantly more confident. We are building our first house ourselves and figuring everything out as we go - we drafted the blueprints, put in the driveway... everything. We got to plumbing and my husband told me I could do it. I've got my drains and vents in but he wants in-floor heat, so here I go!

[@maintenanceman1015]

Great video . Something that helped me later was once I got it running smoothy I wrote settings in the manual where they had the suggested settings I put mine . Had a boiler short cycling to find that when they came in to test the unit they change the target set to 180 when is was to be 160 hence trip high temp. Had air unit heat not working at 67 to find outdoor senor had failed and default was 70. No AC outdoor was 80 senor failed senor default was 60. Great video editor and links listed below.

[@amytaylor1054]

Hello there , how are you doing today?God bless you!!!❤

[@inspector8572]

Milwaukee, it’s perfectly normal to get a slight rise in a hydronic system after fire is applied. Even though you have purged all the free air from the system there still is dissolved air in the fluid which will separate or degas over time. Great job and the system looks great. The valve with bleeding port @ the expansion tank is also recommended because those tanks need to be replaced over time as well have to be checked annually for their initial pressure setting. God Bless.

[@georged.sutcliffejr.4489]

Fun job! One comment - I found that placing a ball valve before the expansion tank. This makes replacing the expansion tank very quick and easy. They do "go bad" over time so being able to change it without losing much water is nice.

[@SureRon]

It’s a safety thing to not have a ball valve prior to expansion tank but I agree it would be better.

[@georged.sutcliffejr.4489]

I agree with SureRon that it could be a safety issue sotTo prevent the valve from being turned off accidentally I remove the handle and hang it near.

[@kgsails7102]

@@SureRon The expansion tank isn't a safety device so it can be isolated. Once a system is running, or after it's been turned off for a few hours, the water is no longer expanding or contracting so the expansion tank isn't doing anything.

[@jeff-w]

37:00 I have that exact furnace you mentioned and I had to replace the secondary condenser a few years ago. The unit was about 15yrs old when it failed. It breathes external air. The guy who sold me the parts was surprised it had lasted that long.

I did a similar thing for running electricity when I was 15. My garage only had 1 3-gang outlet box, and one for the door opener. I had some wire, so I went in the attic , ran my wire, then poked it through the ceiling and got an extension cord repair end (bit more safe then your thingy) and just used it as an outlet.

Also, personally I wouldn't have put the T on the exhaust, since the exhaust is going down, some of that exhaust is going into the intake, which can dirty up the flame sensor, and cause ignition faults, that condensed gas is acidic.

Great video Ben! The only recommendation I have is to try Tru-Blu thread sealant, as a fellow HVAC tech I’ve used a lot of different thread sealants and it seems to make the cleanest looking joints and doesn’t harden.

Thank you for all Amazing information. Mr Sahlström

My "hat" off to you young man. I'm 30 yrs in HVACR trade so far and could not imagine such job to be done more professionally. I also started off by becoming my dad's "helper" I'm 46 yrs old now and I imagine you followed my path A couple time saving tips if you don't mind. Teflon and pipe dope are totally overkill for such. Relief valves are only 30#s. Stick with pipe dope only/ wipe excess off. Prime PVC vent lines prior to gluing. Here in Chicagoland, inspectors look for the purple primer to be seen on every joint easpecially outlet that has acidic condensate. Way too many failed joints with no primer I have seen. You have more isolation valves on this system than most. No need for extra valves to isolate EX tanks. I have cut and thread black pipe and soldered copper pipe up to 4", silver soldered and braze stuff up to 4" Now I press up to 2" copper whenever I can. Just as good as soldering I believe. Many videos on you tube expieremented pressing with gasket removed. Turns out it not the gasket that makes the primary seal. Think about all them dielectric, flange, etc. Where rubber is seal that almost never start leaking There is real skill involved with doing such easpecially when trying to braze 2" copper to SS. There are no quality sweat fittings of any kind these days :( I use Brdgit solder exclusively. It can bridge small gaps. We call all such tools here Channellocks! We set expansion tank air pressure before installing to intended operating pressure. Never heard if setting 2#s below? Expert tips given on an amazing job! Keep up such work! One day believe me that you will no longer care if you put some pipe wrench scratches on some pipes ;)

As for the last comment, I highly doubt it and unfortunately for me, that makes everything else that you typed irrelevant. It's the fact he cares about the little things is what makes what he does, PERFECT!!

@@ranbymonkeys2384 easy buddy, your going to disregard everything he said for one thing he said. But all the stuff George Kolos is solid. As your right the little things that are Not overlooked make for quality work. That said Time is money and scratches are a non issue. Like my old foremen would say, Ta-ta-today junior today

MILWAUKEE - pretty awesome video!

I always love trolling want to be plumbers on KZbin but.. Your work is next level my man. I personally like to put automatic air bleeder valves every segment to allow for smooth operation…

Never thought of hanging the expansion tank right off the air scoop, pretty cool
