[@floydalbright1214]

Love it Chuck ,you don't leave anything out (fight with a pipe wrench and fall off of bucket). It's a real world out there.

[@ChuckBarron]

pissed i missed the shot.....could of been classic

[@floydalbright1214]

@@ChuckBarron maybe so someone doesn't cut into a gas pipe thinking it's a water pipe.

[@ChuckBarron]

never thought of that....its a long shot but anything is possible. we all know old galv pipe is dark grey for sure. but still possible....just like black pipe may be a heat line...always trace out your pipes apprentices...ha

[@patricksimone1238]

Hey chuck finally used mine last week,I will never turn a pipe again lol that thing was a dream bro,and fittings are worth the money because it’s saves you so much money in time

[@ChuckBarron]

you are not kidding. its the dream.

[@angiemoses130]

Spending the next 2 weeks with my daughter. Merry Christmas to yall.

[@ChuckBarron]

Awesome! Enjoy and Merry Christmas.

[@mikev.1034]

I really enjoy watching you work while I sit here & drink my coffee in these early mornings. 👍

[@ChuckBarron]

Morning! Lol.

[@anthonys.5653]

Nice work Chuck!

[@ChuckBarron]

Thanks Anthony.

[@hercorock123]

Yes Palermo’s was one acct we used a lot Norwood branch and Clifton. When first started out went to there Fairview branch which was the first.

[@ChuckBarron]

ok nice.

[@BeulahRWalker]

What’s up I’m studying for My Rigging Midterm Next Week. So glad this Video pop up 💦💧

[@ChuckBarron]

hit the books....and good luck

[@J-Colt]

Nice work Chuck! I've been watching vids on HE boilers last few weeks. I love the technology but since most parts inside units need to be ordered when they go bad I'm not sure I would own one. I'm sure before long it won't be as much an issue as now. Thanks for sharing!

[@ChuckBarron]

its like a rocket....so complicated. I really need to get to school on these naviens. its coming some day.

[@georgefolgers8731]

Difference between glavernized versus black pipe for gas supply line -- Please help,, As older type of buildings had galvanized in larger diameter for drainage, such as 1 1/2 & above,, Additionally occasionally,, galvanized supply lines , for toilet supply lines , in four story walk ups. Was always steered towards black pipe, is there a code difference, or why the preference. We have Always used Pipe Dope. Second question,, went to viega megapress seminar, and they stated only 5 year warranty on their fittings.

[@ChuckBarron]

We must use galv outside here because of salt air. I just use it everywhere. my choice. we can use black iron inside too.

[@itas0r]

Those Navien combi units have an automatic feeder right? It looks like you have both a regular feeder AND the automatic feeder hooked up? Is that required?

[@ChuckBarron]

yes both....you need one on unit and one on loop.

[@hercorock123]

Love the Navien combos they remind of the Celtics made by hydrotherm back in the early 80s I used to put in.

[@ChuckBarron]

Yes I like them too..I use to work on palormo's back in the day. I may of spelled it wrong.

[@armandomadrigal9793]

Cb, im lovin that mega press. Thats going to be my next toy

[@ChuckBarron]

game changer for sure.

[@snigie]

We have a Teflon tape (we call it ptfe) the regular type isn’t allowed on gas, but a thicker type called one wrap it is allowed. That’s in the U.K. anyway

[@ChuckBarron]

ok cool.....thanks snigie

[@zakkmon123]

Here in the states any product used has to be a reference standard per the International plumbing code or unified plumbing code. Depending on the state and code and amendments it adopts.

[@ernestrhoades5147]

I really love that nice hole repair behind you, looks like your polishing a real turd there.

[@ChuckBarron]

ya that patch is coming in old chimney. they should of patched before hand. No the place is turning out nice..heater room gets budget cuts...lol

[@MoneyMarcMes]

So what is the difference in durability using standard black gas pipe vs Galvanized?

[@ChuckBarron]

Nothing...Its purely my choice only because I use it outside which is code here. I only stock galv..which is just easier for me for the interior jobs which black iron can be used.

[@hercorock123]

Nice work

[@ChuckBarron]

thanks jeff

[@keithjackman1]

HI CB , Great vid , MERRY CHRISTMAS …… ps what gas pressures do you work with ?? .

[@ChuckBarron]

its 2psi here at the fixtures....high pressure at the meter...entire area being changed from low to high pressure........town by town.

[@ChuckBarron]

Merry Christmas to you also.

[@hercorock123]

Mega lock is my best friend !!

[@ChuckBarron]

Mega baby.

[@roberttownsend9139]

Why didn’t you use copper going to the expansion tank. Instead you used galvanized pipe that can rust ?

[@ChuckBarron]

I have always used iron pipe for strength. Never had a problem. I even used black iron pipe in the past.

[@isidrorenteria4415]

Can you twist your mega fittings ones they pressed?

[@ChuckBarron]

Isidro, No you can not.

[@patricksimone1238]

Chuck you’re taking a beating on this one lol

[@ChuckBarron]

I missed the shot....i need a helmet...

[@anthonysloan4129]

Merry Christmas CB!!!

[@ChuckBarron]

Merry Christmas to you also.....

[@alexstoles1339]

Good job cb.. theres more than 1 way to skin a cat. Lol. Merry Christmas to the Barron Family

[@ChuckBarron]

Thanks Alex....Merry Christmas to you and your also.

[@sambeyer1249]

That so very true

[@ChuckBarron]

thank you sam

[@andyajitsingh9127]

So much easier if you use a level instead of using just your eye ? Just saying. Why didn’t you extend the gas pipe to the kindorf and you would have been able to strap the pipe to the kindorf ? A little poor planning Chuck ?

[@ChuckBarron]

Well Andy now that you mention a level I just purchased 3 for me and the crew. What is a Kindorf? Poor plan or a change of plans its all down hill from here. Thanks Andy.

[@floydalbright1214]

Black pipe for gas only , no galvanized allowed , Wisconsin..

[@alfredvogl4052]

Are you sure? Galvanized allowed national gas code. Galvanized becoming the prefered. In some areas galvanized only no black . I am not saying you are wrong many areas have there own codes. Galvanized is actually better than black. I believe areas like jersey shore are galvanized. The utility company by me only uses galvanized for there installs like meters.

[@ChuckBarron]

interesting how different states are with their codes.

[@patricksimone1238]

Do the marks like on my pvc all the time with a sharpie,a 70 year old plumber told me that

[@ChuckBarron]

oh for sure....love the old time tricks

[@throttlebottle5906]

or pencil if you want it to easily wipe away

[@patricksimone1238]

throttle bottle just use a little primer and it takes it off

[@bernard.biomultinet]

Je te souhaite de bonne fêtes de fin d'année

[@ChuckBarron]

Happy New Year to you also....thank god for google....ha

[@zakkmon123]

How was the drop test? 👍🏻

[@ChuckBarron]

drop test?

[@zakkmon123]

Pressure test, System holds pressure with no acceptable drop for the required 15 minutes, but loses pressure at about 1lb/hour. It use to be done by the gas purveyor but now by the plumbing or gas contractor. Here down in south Florida.

[@zakkmon123]

By water column test basically...

[@zakkmon123]

Great videos by the way it’s good to see , even the most experienced plumbers. Especially different states ✌🏻. Keep it up!!!

[@ChuckBarron]

oh the air test....my bad..yes line was tested and passed. thanks z

[@jamesgillies3710]

Mega press Pro press nice options.

[@ChuckBarron]

Mega baby!

[@kylemierau6367]

my area is mandatory Teflon, must be yellow/gas approved (or orange which is industrial grade rarely see it, for refineries mostly) 3 wraps around with an approved pipe dope as a contractor with a gas license (utility guys just use dope, fall under their own codes). if you are using 1/2" wide tape on a 2" threaded joint u gotta overlap the tape on the threads spiraling up to get that proper spread, most guys will just got get 3/4 or 1" wide rolls. see some guys try and cheat and use pink tape or white tape, they can call you out on it and make you redo the whole gas line. I will say with propress you don't have to deal with Teflon but the mega press gas products aren't in my area quite just yet just started getting propress readily available for copper, and the machines are still quite a bit to high priced for my blood.

[@ChuckBarron]

good stuff...interesting how different area's have different codes....thanks kyle

[@786otto]

Seems like everyone is using sqwizi thingi fittings those days.

[@ChuckBarron]

yes sir otto. pro press is nice.

[@joshmcfate9687]

It’ll work!!!! Ay what happens if you use water pro press fittings on gas? 🤙😎🏄

[@ChuckBarron]

lol......my favorite line. it will drip....lol

[@JamesBrown-db9pk]

ole chucky- u dont need so much pipe dope thats low press dude whers c2 and 3 they need on the job traing

[@ChuckBarron]

school and dr. appointment on this day.....easy on the dope cb

[@harrymay5511]

Yellow tape only But I don't use it .

[@ChuckBarron]

Nice...Harry..

[@harrymay5511]

Start tape one thread back .

[@ChuckBarron]

roger that...thanks harry

[@edulpre]

you could of put your tee horizontal instead of vertical and had your dirt pocket coming off the branch and this way your valve and union and tee would of all been on the same horizontal and not in the way of the expansion tank and tanless

[@itas0r]

His method is better because any debris goes straight down into the drip/dirt leg. With the tee horizontal, debris would probably go right over the opening to the drip/dirt leg, no?

[@ChuckBarron]

I really should of roughed in higher...next time.

[@sambeyer1249]

In ga it will not pass code horizontally it must be installed vertically

[@throttlebottle5906]

the gas flow must make a 90-degree change of direction with dripleg underneath and never go straight across, because any debris or condensation can blow past it the other way

[@JP-ce8ix]

Everyone falls off their bucket every now and then.
