I'm converting a van and using a Taco SR501-4 for radiant floor heat. I'm not a plumber and looked everywhere for help installing this simple device. This is the only video I found that explained the wiring I needed. 👏👏👏Even the Taco site was no help. Thank you! I'm a subscriber to your channel now.

Nice video. Helped me out allot with getting heat back on in our basement. Now I just need a gold wrist band and I can be a real plumber. : )

My old man has a hydrotherm,it was installed in 1978,other than a thermocouple, it still runs pretty good!

@@PipeDoctor What's a combustion test?

[@petersmart1999]

Can you imagine back in the day,pre drilling all the holes then filling them with flat head screws,how about cabinet guys from back then,nothing like twisting a 3 inch screen into would by hand,flat head at that!

Great video.

[@rollenschultz2707]

So why would the installer go with a switching relay and two pumps vs one pump and two zone valves?

[@williamdwyer3302]

gotta laugh at some of the dopes doing service now days.you look intelligent and have good work ethic you'll do good .i got back into residential after a 20 yr break.smh at how little basic wireing disabelled tech are now days.get a compressor for blowing out gas assembles and pilot valves,only need about [30 psi ] .its hard to grow as a company,hope you get to weed out the dopes

@@PipeDoctor I'm retired at 64 and have been a from a master electrician, fire alarm tech, HVAC to plumbing to QCM with the army facility. Any young person looking into HVAC field of work should watch your site because it is so real world conditions and answers the questions for the curios future journeymen. I have seen the green new deal BAS ( JCI, TAC, Honeywell, Schneider, Siemens) etc in effect real time at an army base where the "money " is no object the man out in the field (HVAC mechanic) is on the phone and laptop constant and at their mercy and end up having one of their techs out due to proprietary BAS contracts. Really not good. In time its possible that the owner will not control the home temp the gov will. Keep up the great work in the field' Thanks Tim

1966…..wow, that has to be one of the oldest working gas boilers. Didn’t know gas was an option in the 60’s! 🤔

[@rickw4160]
