Nice work Pipe Dr!!! But I am disappointed ☹️ big ol’ Tank. For the rest of that unit life they will have to pay to keep ALL that water volume heated. I was so sure a wall mount unit 😢 don’t take a lot of space an the biggest plus is over their lifetime they only heat water when needed. But? With the older Gen. It is harder to sell them coz they are used to having tons of stored hot water.. but sweet install job!!❤❤ (edited fur a spell 👻 boo)

I've had a pipe-undoing mystery for a while with central vacs, glued connections parting later on. Apparently I wasn't supposed to just de-burr the thing, but there's a lip on the outside that prevents the glue from working, and I have to shave this down as well. I don';t know if that's a PVC thing, or due to the special cutter used on central vac stuff, but I'm doing it, so we'll see how it goes.

Traditional water heater is a great choice. The extra expense of yearly flushes and expensive parts negate any savings from a tankless unit. Indirect puts too much wear and tear on the boiler.
@tcoradeschi
@tcoradeschi 6 месяцев назад
One man’s data on the subject. “Extra expense” is a couple gallons of white vinegar and an hour of my time. My tankless is 6 years old and has required no parts, expensive or inexpensive. But then, I got 22 years out of the original 50 gallon tank, simply by flushing annually and replacing anode rods (hmm “expensive parts”?). Northwest NJ - not the hardest water I’ve ever dealt with, but still…

Nice job getting that new water heater set up in that space. One question I have always wondered about is why do plumbers always use copper pipe on the pressure relief valve? PVC seems to have advantages such as not drawing heat out of the tank. Is it a code requirement to use copper? Is it just quicker since you have the copper on the truck? Thanks

Codes vary all over the place. I can only speak to my local codes ( Canada) here you pretty much must pull a chimney liner ( accordion style stainless steal or aluminium ) .. there are very very few exceptions as the condensate will compromise any mortar joints it encounters
@petepete3389
@petepete3389 6 месяцев назад
You mention at 8:25 in your video that the boiler was "grossly oversized". Wouldn't removing the indirect water heater make the boiler even more oversized? Are there any disadvantages to a grossly oversized boiler?
@throttlebottle5906
@throttlebottle5906 6 месяцев назад
the boiler should be sized for the total radiation elements in the home(and/or it's BTU needs), the indirect tank is never factored into the BTU requirement and if need be, placed as a priority zone with time limit failover back to heating. exception to that is a commercial setting where the indirect will run frequently to continuously to keep up with water heating demand, but in that case they usually go with standalone water heating setups.

@compactc9
@compactc9 6 месяцев назад
Am I crazy for saying I'd have chosen to install an indirect that was designed to make use of that boiler's output? To me it seems the 136,000 BTU output of that thing will heat more water faster than the 40,000 in the tank unit. The houses I've been in that had indirect water heaters on big boilers, the hot water never seemed to run out, it felt like a tankless.

The 2020 New York State plumbing code is the same as the ICC in 504.7 a pan must be installed if any damage could be done when installing a tank style water heater or water storage system. In my opinion damage could be done due to that water heater being in a tiny unfinished mechanical closet with finished space next to it. I wasn’t aware of this until we failed an inspection a few years back.

@MrDmadness
@MrDmadness 6 месяцев назад
Water always gas priority circuit. A over sized boiler means less cycling of the boiler == less fatigue on the system. SMe same for a water tank, they lose some efficiency after they form a mineral ja, you can hear the pop pop crackle sounds when older tanks fire, it's the gasses expanding under the mineral dropout, we call it "kettleing" in the trade You'd rather have too many btu ( reasonably) than not enough. The lack of the chimney liner also makes the boiler less efficient as it doesn't vent properly, plus the condensate will eat away mortar and can compromise the chimney structure
