INSTALLATION OF A THERMAL EXPANSION TANK ON GAS WATER HEATER

[@FHES2005]

Little Tech tip for your John when you have that roll tape that's too big. Take as much as you need off that roll wrap counterclockwise round a pen or a pencil and use that.

Thanks brother!

I can't imagine the effect of the heat when you're working John ? It's never a problem in the UK. Another great video without too much swearing.😂

Yup - I had a retired Colonel waiting in his driveway looking at his watch- said your 5 minutes late! Really ? 😅nobody gives you a by the minute service . Good video Johnny sunshine 🌞

The inspector's in my area just approved an amendment that i must strap expansion tanks when i pipe it just like you did, can you believe that!

Top man 😎👍

Most Units here in the STL don’t have Expansion Tanks but they are Required on New Construction and when a Home or Condo is Sold to a Different Owner.

[@ranger178]

you only need them if the house has a backflow preventer or pressure reducing valve old houses never had them, so water expands back into supply line.

[@johnphillipsplumbing7148]

Yes,iv'e done it in the past,it'll get me through.

[@johnblume2549]

Make sure you put leak sealer in that old Ford before you try to recharge it, probably got a little o'ring leak somewhere there

[@johnblume2549]

Make sure you add leak sealer to that AC before you charge it up with freon, probably got a little O ring leak in it somewhere there

[@ranger178]

I actually believe if you put the pipe all the way in the back of pipe wrench it will squish the pipe out of shape when you are really pulling hard on a galvanized steel pipe like that.

Why is the expansion tank in the wrong orientation position? Also you need to strap the tank with brackets. Very important to follow the instructions in the manual.

[@johnphillipsplumbing7148]

KMA!

[@ranger178]

why not have a little battery powered air compressor save yourself from heat stroke or one that plugs into a cigarette lighter in truck.

[@nowwhat413]

[@johnphillipsplumbing7148]
