5:30 Thermostat Schedule Set to 55
7:03 28 Series H.B.Smith 9 Section Boiler Flame Failure
Our day commences with the aftermath of bad weather-a boiler room flood. Join me as we replace a water heater and boiler gas valve affected by the flood. Delve into the intricacies of dealing with water damage and ensuring the swift restoration of essential components to maintain a functional heating system.
As the morning unfolds, we encounter a leaking water heater, presenting yet another hurdle. Explore the process of inspecting and addressing the leak, understanding the nuances of water heater diagnostics and the importance of prompt action to prevent further damage.
The narrative takes an unexpected turn with a "No Heat" call. Dive into the troubleshooting process, only to discover a simple yet crucial issue-the thermostat setting is set to low. Gain insights into the importance of thorough system checks, even for seemingly straightforward issues, to ensure optimal heating performance.
But the challenges continue as we conclude our day in an apartment building with 50 units, all facing a heating crisis due to a flame failure. Explore the complexities of diagnosing and addressing flame failure issues, specifically caused by a loose wiring connection for the blower motor. Witness the strategic troubleshooting and meticulous repair process required to restore heat to all 50 units.
Through this storytelling, my goal is to offer viewers a firsthand glimpse into the unpredictable and diverse challenges faced in the HVAC profession. Whether you're a seasoned professional seeking relatable experiences or an enthusiast eager to explore the intricacies of the field, this narrative promises an engaging and educational journey through the complexities of "Water Heater and Gas Valve Replacements, Leaking Water Heater Inspection, Thermostat Troubles, and 50-Unit Heating Crisis."

US electrics and boilers are wild, though fair play I couldn't imagine fixing an euro equipment that had sat in 4 foot of water.

Bring your straight edge 6" machinist rule, dial gauge with magnetic base and some assorted shim stock to align the pump to the motor so the new coupling inset does not self destruct.

You can change the water heater gas valve without opening the water. Theres a screw on the bottom and the face comes off, then theres a screw and the actual valve comes off.

Are big boilers still preferred over 2 or 3 redundant tankless boilers in series. I used to fix boilers at my last job and they were well due for replacement. I can’t imagine the are more then 75% efficient.

I'm watching this from Europe. Is this the usual state of electrics in the USA ? 😲

In old cities like New York , Philadelphia , Chicago , St. Louis , Boston, Baltimore, Detroit and I could list another two dozen older cities. Landlords will get the last dime out of a piece of equipment & wiring before modernizing and then it’s on a triage basis . Europe didn’t really start wiring homes until the late 1920 to 1930s far behind the United States at that time. The 1904 worlds fair in St. Louis was completely electrified (the electrical contractor that wired the world’s fair “Guarantee Electric “is still in business today). So your statement would be like me looking at a 1954 MG /TD & saying “you wire your cars that way? “ 😂.

11:18 - so the wire worked itself out of the nut? All on its own? The 70v would be ghost voltage that would be invisible to a LowZ meter.

Did that hot water heater fall over or was it laid down by hand? Was it glass lined?
@theapprenticesurvivalguide

I believe it was “laid” down by hand lol, I’m pretty sure I remember it being like that the last time I was in the boiler room

Maybe the pump coupling destructed because they ran the pump with the valves shut
@theapprenticesurvivalguide

Water heater elements is a fun one up until you get the element that wants to be a dick head and get stuck in the tank then you're scrambling around while water is dumping out.

Hello, I'm a new subscriber. Do you have a video about your work, what is your specialization, where do you work, why do you work with metal, do you work with copper? It would be interesting to hear that about you. Of all the USA RU-vidrs, you are the best, you speak very well and politely. I like you very much. Thank you.
