Looks ok but is piped incorrectly the whole point of a replacement is to bring unit and piping up to new standard boiler is going to surge no equalizer and no Hartford loop would not pass inspection in mass

[@theunit5939]

i see some steam boilers in the field that dont have hartford loops, how can you tell when its needed or not needed?

[@pualruiz]

THeUNit A Hartford loop is always needed

[@sonycrack1]

One-pipe counterflow systems don’t have a Hartford loop...only because the return is above the water line, but that doesn’t appear to be what’s going on here.....industrial bread proof box 🤷‍♂️

[@jackson4332]

Required on all steam boilers here by insurance company don’t think they will pay out if it cracks and doesn’t have Hartford loop

[@jackson4332]

Chris Voit absolutely required on all residential steam boilers whether or not return comes back to boiler above or below water line but still need it and equalizer either way

[@georgewashington8652]

Does that boiler have a header, equalizer, and a hartford loop ? How to you control wet steam ?

[@Ottonic6]

first part time job I had back in 1971, I was 11, and This guy had a business where making copper piping was one of the jobs and remember threading and reaming different piping. Of course, I was supervised, but I did the work myself. I still to this day think "Wow! quite the job for an 11 year old"... I remember 1971 because his daughter and I had a little puppy love crush on each other and I remember we liked the song "Don't Pull You Love" by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds which came out that year. Saw the pipe threader which made me remember that, so I thought I'd share. Thanks!

[@tucobenedicto109]

The daily bread 🍞 can now be made safely. Never heard the electrician, happy to hear hear him glad you used a licensed electrician, and concussion test for practically and safety. Even though you have less chickens you will now have bread for then. Install a trail cam. Proofer it is we made pizza dough with something like that. Love it great for learning. Show the testo sign in the box next time. Your tester looks good. Miss the old dog q wish you went out of the area but we'll talk was fixed.

[@jeffcoolhd]

Steve nice job on the install. Molly was so happy to see her Daddy come home. Peace brother

[@johnmurphy6366]

The master technician was home,workin on editing videos for ya!!!next level!

[@johnguerrero4305]

Steve did a good job hiding the little elfs that helped him with this install.

[@ThePappas33]

Hey Steve have you ever though about putting a main line water filter especially on a steam boiler ? I would think it would lengthen the life of it since it goes through so much water and help keep the corrosion down ..

[@joedugas9462]

its adding the water that causes a non-condensing boiler to fail early. You get water "falling" out of the flue gases That water is a mild carbonic acid ... corrodes the boiler. Stainless ex changers would add life to it. There flue gases on the tester showed pretty high temps... so it might last a long time.

[@J-Colt]

Excellent video Steven, Thanks for posting. So far only one chicken stealing mama's boy thumbed video down.

[@scottk0623]

Nice work Steve, you earned your keep that day. Thanks for the share

[@williamdyckman9704]

Big job for one person, you sure earned your money on that one.

[@theunit5939]

Not questioning your install love your work, but trying to learn, wheres the hartford loop or is it not needed?

[@ricktomlinson5481]

I would think that since this boiler is supplying steam to a bread proofing room and not radiators that there is no significant return to the boiler. All it's water comes from the make up water valve so no Hartford loop needed.

[@Bob.W.]

How do you clean the oils out, besides skimming, to keep it from contaminating the food?

[@oldhandyluke]

Bob W you have to skim the boiler but only steam comes out from the boiler so you dont really have to worry too much about that but you still should

[@Bob.W.]

Those oils will lift with the steam I'm afraid. At least the lighter hydrocarbons in the oil.

[@AMStationEngineer]

Nice equipment, fine installation, and Steve plays that pipe threader like Hendrix played the Strat! Me, working on something in a bakery?? Does Narcan work for a cruller overdose? Good luck with solving the chicken disappearances!

[@scapmans1079]

This is the most important test you can make with any boiler that uses water.

[@latrobenut66]

So essentially that’s a suicide boiler lol sees fresh water constantly. They would be better off with a steam humidifier to handle the humidity and let the steam heat the proofer

[@stevenlavimoniere]

thats what they have . above proffer is a giant box full of water for humidity i should of done a more indeep video of system .

[@Guyhakverdi]

@@stevenlavimoniere Maybe you can sell this guy a stainless steel steam generator or something. So boiler would be in closed circuit that way... but I m not sure if that would be cost effective lol

[@oldhandyluke]

steven lavimoniere that would be wonderful of you make one with how good you are at this

[@joedugas9462]

i've done condensing steam boilers....extremely pricey .... and venting them is a problem...stainless venting... you can by a new corvette by them time your done.

[@scapmans1079]

Do gas boilers produce less soot than oil fired units?

[@atch_n_sons]

Good use of time Steve👌

[@webcamdebaltimore9976]

Wich water line suplie is it? Hot or cold?

[@manuelmachado1276]

Anyone like Steven in Southern CT?

[@whitesheatingairappliancer7101]

A Steve, how often do you have to have the combustion meter calibrated?

[@frankdinaro3220]

once a year

[@justpaynmydues]

DECENT INSTALL!! THNX! YOO ARE VERY THOROUGH WITH UR WERK!! 👏🏼👏🏼😁😁😁

[@mikemoyercell]

thats a really nicely built boiler. quality unit, quality job!

[@winkhvac62]

Awesome video Buddy!!!!

[@scapmans1079]

You mentioned “chemicals “. What chemicals would you add to a steam boiler? Are you talking rust prevention or removal?

[@sparkydave2783]

Capmans Capmans process steam boilers, where the steam in not needed to be “food safe” can have a number of chemicals dosed into the feed water depending on that water quality, the use for the steam and the type of steam & condensate system. For example, oxygen scavengers (e.g. hydrazine), pH adjusters (e.g. ammonia), polymers and other products to keep salts and minerals in solution and prevent scaling.

[@scapmans1079]

Prevention

[@coondogtheman]

What is that place with that metal room? Is that a steam room? Reminds me of something from one of my video games.

[@MonoChorMe]

That metal room, is the so called "proofing box/room". Its a "room" where the bread is stored so that the yeast fermentation can happen rapidly. Think of it this way - a bread maker for the home is a proofing box of sorts; since that's what it does - it does bread. :D Let me guess what game it reminded me of - the mission "Meat Kings Party" from Hitman: Contracts :''D

[@jamesgillies3710]

Steve put a shutoff on the supply too, for better boiler blow down.

[@Maysin777]

Looks awesome Steve! Like always....great job!

[@myfastcars]

Steve,,,, Very much enjoyed that video! Well done!!

[@georgesiatos9848]

Steve nice job on the install

[@Bob.W.]

Wow, a steam video!

[@jinzhulin6082]

Where did you buy this size? Can you post a website?

[@anthonygasparini1734]

Nice job Steve...Too Shelf Momma!

[@Fireship1]

Nice clean install Steve!

[@michaelx_usa1]

I need a new gas fired Steam Boiler. Do you know a good Contractor for the job here in the New York City Metro area? Thank you.

[@1martinontherocks]

should've showed how you got it in there

[@MarkJones-kd6ye]

i luved working on black iron

[@Clamjammer]

I’m not too fond of how you piped that supply in. I would have used both trappings in the boiler and made a header with an equalizer line off to the side,back into the boiler to catch “wet steam” ..Then a tee up to the main. Helps stop water hammer !

[@frmerrin2]

Could add a drop header if you want to ensure dry steam.

[@Clamjammer]

frmerrin2 a drop header is for sure the best way to ensure dry potent steaks reaches the radiators. Great point! I love steam heat I think it’s so cool! I’ve been in the field for 7 years and I’m 26 years old. Nobody in my age range,I mean nobody knows a thing about steam! I plan on getting a book called “the lost art of steam heating” I forget the author but I recommend getting the book if you’re into steam heating like I am. I just did a boiler install and it was so much fun! It was my first “on my own “ steam install. It’s purring along beautifully

[@Eddy63]

1st ...Lol ... Man that is a neat looking job Steven ... 1 man Wreckin' Crew ...

[@martinf.3455]

second master plumber fan =)

[@samx9024]

Where is the Hartford loop? Love the vids keep up the great content.

[@coyote5735]

The steam is being used to raise the doe there is no return, the boiler has a constant cold water feed, it will fuck the boiler up with limescale in no time.

[@donnierobertson3088]

Good job

[@timhendley1950]

Never installed a boiler. What’s a round a bout figure on a job like that? Just curious...

[@kylebass4635]

Excellent video! Hope they gave you some bread to go. Crazy someone stealing you chickens.

[@edgionet1714]

Steve we’re is your Hartford loop

[@louiemontana4547]

Hi there Steve lavimoniere how you put printer ink in your testo handheld printer if you don't mind me asking you that question & I was wondering if you a pair of work gloves that has your company name on them & a company vest as well because I recently found a the some pullover hoodie that as your company name on it & also a tshirt that also has you company name & bye the way I do like watching your videos & I have a question for you why would you want to put a screw on your brand new homak tools box for anyway is it because the lock lash doesn't lock right is that why you put tow screws on both sides of your homark tool box Steve lavimoniere

[@hvac526]

Why you dont do your own wiring ?

[@timhendley1950]

She’s a New Yoka momma!

[@lcampm2]

hey steve did you get any donuts out of this deal?

[@Clamjammer]

Love your vids Steve’s. You’re a good man. I live in jersey but I would come visit just to work with you for a few days! I’d be the best damn helper you’ve ever had. Im26 and have been at it since I was 19. You remind me of my first mentors,except better!

[@gerryrig5012]

Did You Get Bread?

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

Almost every time i get Chinese black iron and try to cut threads in it the threads look like dog food... But when i buy USA black iron i can cut beautiful looking factory-cut threads.

[@fredwiley3731]

Had the same problem running a gas line. could not stop the threads from leaking, Replaced with USA pipe and that fixed the problem. I didn't know I was buying foreign made pipe.

[@golfmc78]

Does New Yorker make good Oil boilers?

[@PepsiManX360]

They’re extremely good! New Yorker is made by Burnham Boilers so they’re exactly the same inside. Think about it as a different flavor of Pepsi lol.

[@frankdinaro3220]

you can install a check valve in the wet return instead of a equalizing line but I would go with equalizing line .Check valve may get dirty and fail .

[@michellesenft1517]

In Corey Harts Video the steam comes outta the tube rhythmically

[@njdevfan20]

No traffic that early.

[@daniels3906]

This guys accent is so New York.

[@CuongNguyen-nh3xw]

Where you buy the powder Steve?

[@davidmerkrebs9967]

am i missing something no hartford loop?

[@i94south34]

we need a chicken video.

C02 is not monoxide. Co2 is dioxide...

[@RAYMOND169]

We’re is the Hartford Loop ?

[@BobWiersema]

It probably has a return trap of some sort so you don't need it.

[@kdmq]

Why the hell would someone steal chickens?? Must be a mama's boy trying something more than thumbs down, nobody would steal chickens for money, they would be going for your truck or something in your house. edit: some comments are saying it could be a Hawk or some other predator.

Nice job. 👍👍👍

Why don't you do the electric on installs I always do

[@ozziesheppard17]

Thats a good install, I'd hire you!

Time for chicken soup and fresh baked bread!

85 ppm Co AF. What's AF

[@rtoweprojects]

I'm really surprised a electrician has to do the wiring. I've put a many of boilers, furnaces and other HVAC equipment never needed electrician unless it was a panel upgrade.

[@benjaminkline4855]

We got a weird code around here. You can do your own electric but have to have a licensed plumber. It's like yea, you can have a loose undersized wire and burn the place down, as long as it don't flood

[@richlong4119]

Early bird gets the worm

Start a CHICKEN STEELING segment. Get a couple of game cameras and take pictures of the bastards. PROSICUTE as much as possible. I bet ya, you would have massive viewership!! Come on Steve,,, GETERDONE!

Who’s the 🤡 ? Telling Steve how to do his job.

[@320ceman]

No header or equalizer ,reducer that close to boiler incorrect and most important as other's said NO HARTFORD LOOP !!

[@frmerrin2]

Not even close to being correctly piped.

[@BobWiersema]

I worked as a stationary engineer for many years. Exactly what do you think is wrong with this incredibly simply production steam setup.

[@frmerrin2]

@@BobWiersema No header,equalizer or Hartford loop.

[@BobWiersema]

@@frmerrin2 A header/equalizer and hartford loop are only used on single pipe radiator systems. This is supplying steam to production equipment. That equipment looks new enough to have return traps. I haven't done much residential steam heat so I wouldn't know if that type of old school pipe design is even used anymore. But I can tell you from my experience in commercial steam heat that the equalizer/hartford loop design was replaced around 1900 with the invention of the steam trap.

[@frmerrin2]

@@BobWiersema Funny considering that The Hartford Insurance company didn't come up with the design until around 1919.

[@BobWiersema]

@@frmerrin2 Replace the word "Hartford" with "return tap" if it makes you happy. The design is as old as steam heat.

[@320ceman]

This is a bad video to teach from ,maybe what not to do

[@tommytmt]

Really… that Crown is no good anymore??

[@Davidlabar4]

Tommy TMT apparently this is used for process steam and there is a lot of waste hence the high amount of makeup water. 16 years is good you won’t see 30+ like residential. It also explains the smaller pipe diameters. Don’t understand the piping as there is no equalizer or Hartford loop, but could be different being commercial and higher pressures.

[@erikj.2066]

Watch the video he posted of the Crown a few days ago. Yes, it’s shot. No fixing it.

[@jballs1118]

What is the approximate cost for the replacement of the new boiler?

[@PepsiManX360]

In New York City about $8,500.00 everywhere else around $1,500.00-$2,000.00 less.
