HVAC: York 4 Pipe FCU NIGHTMARE IS BACK AGAIN! Fan Coil Unit Leaking Water Pipe Repair/Rebuild/Fix

[@JumpermanTech]

Get your popcorn ready! Just in time for Halloween weekend! This has been an ongoing issue for a long time, and now they need the hot water for heat, so it became an emergency. This was a brutal repair. Thank you all for watching & supporting 🔧⚡️

Hi sir

[@JumpermanTech]

@@dvzzgaming4245 Hello 🔧⚡️

[@joshuabest100]

You go above and beyond for this customer way out of your comfort zone but you kept your composure the whole time very stressful and you did a great job

[@JumpermanTech]

@joshuabest100 This is actually my main customer. The building isn't in the best shape, but that's what keeps us busy. Little by little, we are fixing things the right way. This was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I made it happen for them. It was a very stressful and tough job. Need to stay composed and strong mentally to even go through with something like this. It was a lot of pressure and risk. Thank you very much! I gave it my all. Thanks for watching 🙏🔧⚡️

[@joshuabest100]

I love this sort of fast paced high intensity work because at the end of it you can sit back and admire the hard work you have put into it ​@JumpermanTech

[@guy872]

A tip on the hole saws. The slower you go the better for the blade and might help the batteries as well. If you find you are drilling a lot of larger holes like that in pipe it will be worth the investment in a 120v magnetic drill press. They are pretty expensive but are worth their weight in gold when doing a job with mech Tees. Good work on the replacement!

[@Gwlyddyn]

Also using cutting fluid really helps as well.

good job, man give chris a raise. people like him are rare

[@richritchie5434]

Go with the high capacity battery from Milwaukee 6.0 or higher . Your battery are over heating. We also using a cutting oil aerosol can (nonflammable) and slow ur drill speed. Let the bit do the work , you don’t need to lay on to hard. Just constant pressure. You do great, because ur a great tech. Great job. Commercial powerhouse mechanic , we work smarter , so we don’t have too worry harder.

Need to get a bigger Ah battery when cutting through iron like that. Plus, Some type of metal cutting oil. Pipe like that I think a corded woulda been perfect. Jobs like these are bad ass. Been there.

[@izzybell11]

What a job ! You nailed it but it was unbelievably hard labor. Interesting and helpful video. JMT don’t over work. Thanks for sharing your expertise. 🙏🏻👏👍🏻

[@_NCR]

A corded "hole hawg" right angle drill would've been the ticket for this. Low speed and lube so you don't burn up your cutting blade

[@MarcosHVAC]

Those are the calls you hate while you’re there. From the stressful situation and feeling the pressure on you on top of the physically demanding tasks too. It’s not until it’s all wrapped up that you can look back and see the final outcome. Enjoy the journey and keep up the work

[@mansourramzey7711]

1 hour and 2 minutes well spent watching this video. 👍

[@MarcosHVAC]

Use a sawzall or bandsaw to cut out the old pipes. We’ve used a sawzall to cut out a 4in riser and used a pro press to fit it back together. Just have to clean and debur the pipe. Good work

[@ESTOBAN-b4c]

Awesome video... excellent job.. I have a 18v Milwaukee drill i use on black steel pipe like that ,i have to use the 5.0ah batteries to get the job done, anything lower batteries overheat, and i used that same hole saw kit, don't like them for the black steel piping , they always burn up, started using Diablo hole saw bits and diamond cut hole saw bits cuts thru like butter and i always put a few drops of cutting to keep the bits cool... Anyway good job

Get a couple forge batteries for your M18 drill. They loose a lot of power and torque with a non high-output battery.

[@hightechcarpentry]

According to the Milwaukee manual, the flashing light pattern means… should have bought the DeWALT! Just kidding, super nice work given the space you had to work with.

[@spacemanwithraygun3933]

You have to get the larger battery, also, it has to full charge before first use. I would only use that battery on light sheet metal screws in an impact.

[@dimaslespier2688]

Question is that schedule 10 black pipe? Typically pipe the pips like that from the inside out tend to be wrongly installed schedule 10 which is only appropriate for fire suppression which that water is not moving around which is what cause a dielectric pipe reaction due to dissimilar metals

[@JumpermanTech]

@dimaslespier2688 The old piping was schedule 40 and so was the new pipe that I installed. No dielectric fittings and no water treatment/maintenance could be in the mix here. There is a lot of rotting pipe around. The water is definitely moving around but not in the summer as the actuator valves are closed and they are using the chilled water for cooling. The water just sits there at that time. It's a very old building as well. Thanks for watching! 🔧⚡️

[@TomGuimond]

​@@JumpermanTech When you have to replace or repair pipes covered with insulation in an older building do you touch it directly or is it testing you to make sure you are not exposed to Asbestos pipe wraps and here it turns out to be beautiful and many pipes covered with Asbestos pipe wraps is what you can refuse to touch is there a procedure for this kind of possible that

[@ronnym1977]

That turned out real nice JMT. You asked how much I would charge to do that repair. I'm going to ballpark at $3500.00 (labor only) Am I even close? I don't think you got a dud battery, I think the material was very hard causing your battety to heat up quickly. Anyway in the end, You and your loyal helper Christian got it done and that is a beautiful thing!

[@mannytaurus]

Great work JMT they need to retro fit that entire facility lol also I would recommend the Ridgid propress jaws they have a mini set that swivels and gets you going in tight spaces👍

[@TheSpluh]

When you only create friction and overheat instead of cut away material with the hole saw, you actually harden the steel. So even with a fresh hole saw it struggles to finish it off

[@Kevin-wj4ed]

I guess they never thought you would ever have to work on this unit!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JumpermanTech]

@Kevin-wj4ed Seriously. What a tough unit to work on. It barely fit in place. Working on it is another horror story haha

Great video. Good job and nice work. It is beautiful repair. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice Halloween ^_^

[@sweetjames713]

Fire Sprinkler Service tech/ Inspector here 🙋. @JumpermanTech we deal with these grooved pipe and couplings everyday. Whenever we have to drill a hole to put a Mechanical Tee, we always have 2-3 hole saw and 4 batteries charged up ready to go. I recommend getting the bigger M18 batteries for whenever you gotta do holes.

[@moutrap]

0:38 galvanic corrosion with the pipe support ?

[@NewDestinationEng]

Good job guys! That place is a nightmare. Such poor pipe management... That's probably why they never do proper maintenance (they can't reach valves, and stuff) Also it's funny there's so many different types of connections on those pipes 😂 brazing, thread, press fittings and vitaulic (did I miss flange too?)

[@polishsharpshooter2876]

Where did you find that huge close quarters pipe cutter? No i wouldn’t do that job at my age. In my younger years sure. $3k plus materials. O I forgot about the custom order pipe. That adds way more time so now I’m guessing $5k plus materials.

[@Tim.F83]

Looks more like an air handler than a fan coil.... Dish soap usually works if you don't have any butter.

[@trevorgroeneveld6362]

Go much slower with your drill speed. Also use a product like Walter COOLCUT™ Metal Cutting Lubricant. Our hole saws last for dozens of holes before needing replacement. Great video!

[@trevorgroeneveld6362]

One more note. Running the drill at high speed will create a lot of heat and actually temper the steel making it much harder. We use a RIDGID HC450 Hole Cutting Tool and when it is in operation the drill speed is extremely slow which is by design

[@genewheeler6320]

@cryptogeek3559 I have exactly the same question because if insulation is in Asbestos in the form of pipe wraps it is the most dangerous form of asbestos presence because it is probably friable asbestos so personally I would refuse to touch anything without testing beforehand

@@JumpermanTech can be both. But if this drill is new it could be simple overheating. That hole was hard to drill as I watched.

[@JumpermanTech]

@TylerDurden0331 I hear that. That was the drills first use. Definitely seemed to be overheating. I was going slow at first but still died. Looks like I need the high output batteries which I know now run 50% cooler & 50% longer. Need a higher AH rated battery. Because of the batteries getting overheated, it took almost 2 hours to drill those holes 😂 Thanks for watching! 🔧⚡️
