At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="688">11:28</a>, looks like RectorSeal got inside the pipe. In any case, way too much on the threads. The excess pipe dope can migrate and a tiny spec can get under the seat of the gas valve and prevent it from shutting off completely. Also, see the many comments about using flex inside the cabinet. I've seen many cases where the vibration of the blower causes the sheet metal to cut through the flex line. This is not allowed in my state (and AFAIK, most others) . Some manufacturers allow it "subject to local codes" but IMO it's a bad practice.

@waltdembeck4634 7 месяцев назад

I read a forum where the guy said what's important with thread sealer is to get it into the threads not how much you use. I use it on big trucks and trailers , air brakes and stuff, so i started putting not so much on and wiping it into the threads before connecting, makes sense to me and less messy. just got to clean your finger

@r6f09 7 месяцев назад

I saw that and it was a little large, also I use a pad while working to protect the floor below he dropped a wrench than set the pipe wrench on the finished floor. Didn’t say to criticize just pointing out what I wouldn’t do, thanks for posting and good luck.

@adamrspears1981 7 месяцев назад

The goop of pipe dope is downstream from the gas valve, so if anything it could plug up orifices.

@fernandobazan829 7 месяцев назад

I like. pliers wrench’s they work great if you know how the jaws have to be adjusted so when to clamp down it grabs the nut properly and fits right in you hand i’ve at least a hundred of his videos he always makes the jaws too small so the handle doesn’t close so it can fit his hands so he has to use two hand to turn the nut and he puts it on backwards so it going against the clamping force almost 90 % of the time he is a smart guy and knows his stuff but needs to focus on his technique

@bradmarshall7075 7 месяцев назад

Great video! I was always taught to check in and out pressure because to high in pressure can cause premature valve failure. I went to a house that a guy said I was there for his annual valve change out and was laughing! I was like wow we going to figure that out because they should last way longer! High in pressure fixed no more annual gas’s valve lol

@twiz8789 6 месяцев назад

that would require the gas pressure to be over a half pound to cause damage to a valve.Thats a LOT

@stephenbierlein2517 7 месяцев назад

When you put dope on manifold for gas valve. You had a piece in the manifold. Your not to put dope on the first threads. Any dope on the end will result going in the pipe when tightened. The taper is what seals the threads.

@patrickmcmillen2223 7 месяцев назад

Yes, the pipe dope should have been wiped off from inside the gas pipe. This could cause another gas valve problem!

@NovvaOfficial 7 месяцев назад

100% of the threads should be doped. Though he could have wiped the inside, not doping threads inside the valve is only asking for a future leak once that dope dries out.

@stephenbierlein2517 7 месяцев назад

@NovvaOfficial done a lot of service seen lots of problems from doing that. That inside just shoves it inside .. usually someone else's problem then. Sealed great just a problem for someone else. .

@adrianwilson7536 7 месяцев назад

@@NovvaOfficial that literally is counter to all the instructions from pipe and paste manufacturers. I have never seen anything smaller then 1 1/2" recommend doping female and male. Anything smaller is male only and first 1 to 2 threads dry. While lubing them may make tightening easier they don't seal on a tapered thread unless you go excessive on tightening on gpt fittings

@adrianwilson7536 7 месяцев назад

Slip joint make me cringe, while today's tolerances make box wrenches unusable a good adjustable crescent is way better at getting good torque. Also a pipe wrench with smooth jaws makes those awkward gas valves a cinch to hold. I would have checked inlet pressure with everything off and sediment trap. High pressure from a regulator creeping or dirty seat in valve can cause leaking of valve. Also galvanized pipe or copper used in Nat can be issue. Looking in trap can show if line is shedding. Unit just didn't look old enough for normal seat wear to be cause

No flex through the Cabinet is in the International Fuel and Gas Code. You can have flex inside the cabinet, but wherever it’s passes through the cabinet has to be a hard pipe (nipple).

@trucker85d47 7 месяцев назад

I hope you saw that glob of dope in the pipe when you edit the video if you didn’t you should go back and remove it because if it comes loose and flows down the pipe it could plug up the burner. I was in the hvac for 20 years and ran too different companies service department so I know what I am talking about but nice job other than missing that always check the pipe opening 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@AllTattedUp13 7 месяцев назад

If u know what ur taking about, then you'd know there's a filter screen inside the gas valve. To prevent anything going downstream to the burners. If anything it'd block the screen and you'd have low burners or firing off doing weird shit.

@burnem94 7 месяцев назад

It’s against code to in the state of ga too, should be addressed.

@adrianwilson7536 7 месяцев назад

The code is worried about the flex rubbing on frame with fan or such vibrating and wearing a hole, or just take nfta 54 wording to a extreme. While if its a local code violation you can bring it up you can protect it like you would electric wire from abrasion or on a older system just observe for damage on a painted flex like that. And before anyone blows up on how code protects us be aware of how much code allows that is sub par if not outright dangerous in some cases.

@natersalad889 7 месяцев назад

I never understand why people dont just use Cresent wrenches on fittings? Like the gas line fittings, Their shouldnt even be any other option, except the actual right size wrench. But channel locks, no, it just chews up the fittings and makes it harder to get the correct wrenches to fit on them, watching you struggle with the channel locks installing that fitting just backs up my comment, as being faster and better in general

@AllTattedUp13 7 месяцев назад

Cause aint no service guy gonna carry around a full wrench set when you can carry 1 that covers just about every size you'll need.. if you're a seasoned tech you'll know, it's all about working smarter not harder. No service dude wants to lug around a 60lb tool bag.

@DrunkBeast88 7 месяцев назад

I was always taught to look for any error codes through the window on the door before shutting off the furnace or pulling a door off… another thing that makes taking the plug off the gas valve a lot easier is to use your service valve tool. The tip is the same size as the plug.

Camera control is difficult when you're working and not looking through the viewer. You might want to consider two camera sources, head mount that records where you're looking and maybe a chest mount for straight ahead, so you can edit out the off scene parts of the video later. You also need a little bit more narration, start with the make and model of the furnace and explain what you're doing as you work. Don't assume everybody watching your videos is a HVAC tech.

@gor312 7 месяцев назад

Flex line is OK by most building codes, and in fact is generally much safer even in areas without earthquakes. Unions are much more likely to leak due to vibration and movement than flex line. What's not allowed by any building code is running the flex line through the cabinet. The sharp edges and vibration could eventually rub through it. There should be a hard pipe going through the cabinet, a tee with a drip leg, and the flex line should connect to the top of the tee. I am even wondering if a drip leg would have prevented the valve failure here.

@mikemicksun6469 7 месяцев назад

⁠⁠ I was wondering about the flex line and vibration going through a hole in metal cabinet. That furnace looks kind of new to have a bad gas valve. One suggestion you need more like a body camera so we see more of what you are doing. Second explain when a gas valve leaks sensors turn off the gas and furnace. Also explain how the furnace works and what comes on first and the timing of how and what happens with the ignition and flame sensor. This way people have a little understand if their furnace fails.

I was born in 1951. During my lifetime gas furnaces for a home have become a lot more complicated, but at the same time they are a lot more efficient. In the home that I grew up in as a child, the gas furnace in this home did not require electricity, it had no fans. It was a simple natural circulation furnace where air went in the bottom vents and warm air came out the top vents. This furnace lasted around 40 years before it was finally replaced.

@CommieCat 7 месяцев назад

Its all tefelon (PTFE) tape/dope. White is low density for small fittings (3/8 and under) while yellow is double density. Monster and MegaLock for example are both blue and both used widely in industrial applications and are double density and then some. Keep it on the threads and not inside the pipe and you won't have issues.

I thought it wasn't allowed by code to run a flexible gas line into the unit? I have always seen/done hard pipe once it goes inside.

Not every furnace is always going to be set at 3.5. You really needed to do a combustion analysis to see Where the burn levels are. That Would then determine where your settings would be for the gas valve.

@joelperigo7213 7 месяцев назад

You are supposed to clock the gas meter, and then set it for the proper input based on what BTUs your gas is rated at. And combustion analysis is part of that process.

@BoilerMaker56 7 месяцев назад

You were absolutely correct, but I didn’t think he was going to go that far.

@AllTattedUp13 7 месяцев назад

That's what happens when hacks are the installers. They the ones who should be clocking the valve and setting it. But eh, more work for us service dudes I guess.

@donnyjackson1908 7 месяцев назад

Also orfice size plays a role. On these 14k btu per burner Rheems they need to be fired at about 3.7inwc to clock correctly. They are underfired at 3.5in using a 1050btu content for NG

It looks like you got pipe dope in the end of the pipe and left it when you were at your truck.

Why did you leave that stuff in the pipe?

@Muonium1 5 месяцев назад

Would have liked to have seen a teardown of the gas valve to see if the cause of failure could be observed.

If a valve replacement is in-warranty, you're not allowed to dismantle it!

Great video but next time use that pipe wrench😂

Hey curt you ever had any problems while replacing gas valve on a bryant unit me and my apprentice had to stand on one pipe wrench and i had to stand on the other one trying to remove the gas valve from burner assembly made us look like a bunch of weines in front of the customer lol 😂

@glennandvirginiamencer9794 7 месяцев назад

i’ve had to heat the valve up with a torch.

Haven’t seen one that bad

@AllTattedUp13 7 месяцев назад

Get yourself a 24" pipe wrench 😂 I've used 18" on some them valves. Whoever puts them on like that from the factory must have arms like a gorilla 😂😂

i had a co2 warning go off and called the gas company to check it out. they did get a minor reading on there device when they first walked in the house. but the guy couldn't figure out where it was coming from as he tested every gas appliance. He was stumped so he went back to the office and asked some senior guys how this could be. they mention some kind of back draft?back pressure in the house occurring randomly. Have you ever heard or experience this??

@bobboscarato1313 14 дней назад

Yes. It happens with heaters installed in basements usually!

Ive had more bleed through gas valves in the last several years than anytime in my 20+yr career. Seems more the white rodgers than the Honeywells

@stephenzangardi1347 7 месяцев назад

This is why I don’t use those flat jaw pliers I have 4 different sizes they always seem awkward in a lot of spots

@jeffprince5738 7 месяцев назад

you should have cleaned out the pipe dope inside the manifold.

Have you ever considered getting a tripod to mount the camera?

no flex lines thru the cabinet...

Gemini valve ?

@greekmaster1001 6 месяцев назад

Good info but I think you left a piece of goop /pipe dope inside the pipe.

@christiankeller3656 7 месяцев назад

Those yellow channel locks. What manufacturer channel locks are those??? I only have cheap pairs so could use an upgrade.

@AllTattedUp13 7 месяцев назад

Yellow handles is usually klein

@geneticdisorder1900 7 месяцев назад

Milwaukee has groove lock pliers for sale at HD, I’ve bought 3 pairs past month. I’ve used Douglas brand for 41 years, these Mills are pretty good.

@throttlebottle5906 7 месяцев назад

the oldest that used yellow handles would be "douglas" brand, now klein has yellow handles(maybe made by douglas for them?)

@kevinh6098 6 месяцев назад

I didn't see you check the tempature rise to see if you might need to back down the gas pressure... tempature rise is more important than setting gas pressure at the standard 3.5 starting point

@b.powell3480 6 месяцев назад

I would address the gas flex !!, add a short length of black iron pipe, and reconnect with the appropriate fittings!, that gas flex needs to be outside of the cabinet knock out!!
