I like watching Steve drive. it feels like I'm on the school bus.

[@Trainman0401]

That was the cleanest home I ever watched you work in. You did a very neat and professional job. The homeowner should be very happy with your work and his stainless steel tank should last forever.

[@Empireplumbing45]

After running plumbing service calls all day i don’t hesitate to watch your videos when i get home it never gets old ! Plumbing is not a job it’s a lifestyle lol !

[@oldhandyluke]

Kudos to you Steve for all of those beautiful solder joints, most of us young guys would probably just pro press the whole dam thing. Well done!

[@rhodysweet]

Steve I don't comment much, but this is one of your best videos, and I watch them all. Great explanation of what you were doing in real time, and great lighting, film shots, etc. Thank you very much for continuing to provide great content with your "real-world, day-in-the-life" content of a master craftsman. Cheers! Dave in RI.

[@scottk0623]

Nice job, my knees hurt just watching. You made good time too. As a one man shop also I can appreciate your effort.

[@angusmac2037]

Greetings from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Another great video Steve. Your viewers are gaining so much knowledge every time they watch. So much consideration goes into your work. Even if you don’t return to that house in the future for annual maintenance, the next technician/plumber will appreciate the setup and how it’s makes their job easier. Thanks for all you do.

[@SlickSliver]

Speaking as someone who has never done anything like this before, you don’t do a very good job of explaining exactly what you’re doing or what each connection on the tank is. I can only assume that most people commenting otherwise are either plumbers or boiler technicians already familiar with this sort of thing.

[@garrettb9879]

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. I have learned so much from you over the last few years. When I need an answer that I am not sure of, I search your videos. Merry Christmas from Vermont

[@PaulDziomba]

Great install! Glad to see you working when you don't have to say, "No Taj Mahal".

[@ryandimen8570]

Flux does not draw the solder in rather it prevents oxidization during heating. Capillary action draws the solder into the joint.

[@paulehlers2225]

[@thomast9736]

I am getting a new CI Weil McClain installed and will probably add an indirect when my 20 year water heater goes. The problem with this solution is when and if the boiler goes down, you lose both hot water and heat.

Its amazing how many joints there are in a boiler system. The water, the gas and all of the other connections all can have no leak to function properly. And that is just one house.

[@pitaeata8493]

it was one loop with an indirect tank...ya it was fast and good but it wasn't a whole boiler system.

[@smfd190]

@@pitaeata8493 I have the same system

[@FrancisKoczur]

Pump placement is optimal. Better for the pump to pump out of a tank, so it's correct. If you have a choice on pump placement out of heater supply or to return, I'd choose to return, pump would operate with lower temperature water, exactly what you did.

[@ClickinChicken]

the boiler system seems really efficient.

[@FredD63]

Nice setup and install Steve ✌🏼👊🏼👊🏼…I’ve noticed when you install water heaters in your other videos you never install a pan … Are pans not required in MA. ?

[@suzylarry1]

very clean job , nice to see.

[@mackfisher4487]

Question: $ Isn't using your heating boiler for domestic hot water cost you more in fuel than two separate units especially because in the summer you have to leave the boiler running?

I realize this video is two years old but I’m wondering why you didn’t install a tempering valve. Aka mixing valve.

[@tonydelgrego2906]

Nice professional install

[@gtfg3800]

Steve, why did you install 2 high vents on the boiler supply line to the indirect water tank ?

[@josevilca6493]

that is a very good question?

when I went to school high school for HVAC they said always put the circulator on the return you want to pull the water into the boiler and we never had a cold start boiler we had an actress that with three terminals this is 1970 wanted to get my fist first job but got drafted came home and then started to work as HVAC guy

[@Martin-pr6ps]

Wheres the expansion vessel for the pressured hot water cylinder? Also no balancing valve

[@Martin-pr6ps]

@@ML-lg4ky I can only see an expansion tank on the heating side not the domestic hot water side.

[@waltradcliffe4482]

In the winter I can see saving money with that setup you have to heat the house anyway but how much does it cost to run that monster in the summer just to make hot water?

[@markb7991]

I would be interested in an answer here also.

[@TheJimbob1603]

All that expansion/contraction can't be doing the boiler any good either. I have indirect fired water-heater in the winter and a heat-pump water heater for summer; piped in series. Works well.

[@joedugas9462]

boiler still runs at over 80% eff.... hot water heater might be 30% eff....only problem is the heat that comes off that piping all day in July..... this is were a high eff. condensing boiler works WAY better. Remember that boiler has to stay warm all the time... or it will condensate... and rot out in no time.

[@spencerwilton5831]

TheJimbob1603 This is how we do hot water in the UK, at least in houses without combi boilers (instant water heating). The same boiler provides both central heating and hot water via either a gravity fed or pressurised cylinder. It has significant advantages over using two separate appliances- cost being one. The single boiler is obviously fired every day, meaning pumps etc don't seize over summer when it would otherwise be unused. You benefit from the availability of the full boiler output to heat your water- meaning much faster recovery times vs a water heater which usually has a much smaller burner. There is less maintenance. You only need a relatively small gas supply line reducing costs (some gas companies increase daily standing charges for bigger supplies / larger meters). Corrosion of the boiler isn't usually a concern as it's typical to set them to charge the cylinder twice a day, Meaning they get properly hot and evaporate any condensation. In any case, we have been using condensing boiler for years now anyway and you would be hard pushed to find many old cast iron boilers left.
