Hydronic expansion tanks are sized on boiler NET output BTU's and the type of radiation. It is also important to install the expansion tank properly - mounted vertically in downward position only. Ensure the piping can support the entire weight of the tank when full of water.

Mikey pipes! Which lazer level was this??

@eddiew.6485 Год назад

Going the extra mile, Mikey with that laser level and getting the job done! FACTS!,,,,

@danobrien3109 Год назад

Nice work Mike and smart adding the isolation valve. Figure that tank will weigh 75 to 80 lbs while it is operable and about 125 when it fails. Water weigh roughly 10 lbs per gallon.👍👍🇨🇦

I love clevis hangers, nice support !

@johnhegarty3491 Год назад

You could have put a double bend offset on the 3/8” rod. Also, I believe it’s Dewalt that makes what they call the “smart DI (drop in anchor drill bit” for the sds+ that has a stopper at the exact depth of the drop in. And it has an attachment that you put over the drill bit that you use to hammer the anchor in with the hammer drill. It’s really nice.

Palm beach, FL…..AHH MAN, that’s 3.5 hrs away from me, BUMMER! If we’re closer in service area, w/ way do business, after the initial meet and greet and 1st maintenance call, if better t(an company use now, which wouldn’t be hard to beat, imo, woulda have most likely gotten 45% of entire HOA live in. Well, Palm Beach gets you in FL, and that don’t mean can’t open 2nd shop in my area in the future😉 Anywho, CONGRATS & HAPPY FOR YOU AND Fam, Team, Company for expanding to SC and FL. Cheers✌🏻

@throttlebottle5906 Год назад

you could have done two hangers in V shape to avoid the pipe above. alt 1: used half of two larger clevises to go around the pipe (bolted together with short bolts) alt 2: just hang it from the larger pipe above(clevis to clevis) and that pipe above to the ceiling with a clevis against the one below. alt 3: I'm less thrilled with, but gently bend the rod(long radius bends) out around the pipe. if not gentle bends it can be weakened and even then it may flex enough to overload the nipples/coupling and break off suddenly. especially the newer "junk" brass fittings.

The 30 wasn’t cross threaded, if you look closely the nipple that was welded to that 30 tank was slightly angled…. Manufactured defect.

those expansion tank isolation valves are sexy AF though

@consolidatedplumbingandhea4390 Год назад

I have a tank sizing card in my tool bag along with I have no idea why anymore a vent damper recall serial number card. That said, I quickly go from an extroll 30 to a floor mount, just because anything larger is just to heavy to change. Ya, been hit or miss on using the air compressor to get all the water out. In a lot of cases, there is no easy way to support them and the concern of a 60 or worse 90 filling and snapping something, just easier to go to the floor mount.

@throttlebottle5906 Год назад

I agree, #60 max suspended and preferable anything over #30 a floor model, unless the space doesn't permit that. I mean I've had to squeeze in 5 suspended #30's before in a bad location! talk about a cluster-fork-mess. the end result was still better than all the other "proposed" plans.(lol) sometimes I think to "deep space" outside the box levels.

@throttlebottle5906 Год назад

I should add, all five were "horizontal" and in a radial pattern (star shape). it's still that way as far as I know and they just replace tanks when failed. it was oversized by "two" tanks just for added headroom and ease of repair. nothing else would fit, unless someone starts making a pancake style flying saucer tank 🤣🤣 yeah, I'm rather nuts, but git-r-done-son.

@Mikey Pipes - Pipe Doctor Plumbing & Heating & Air 1:41 I guess the ppl who said something about the expansion tank being wrong size didn’t watch the entire video! And listened to what ya said…..or missed what you said 🤷🏼 B/C I REMEMBER you saying Mikey, you know you had wrong size after looking at the 1 page data sheet fr9m expansion tank AMD YOU SAID needed a 90 and don’t have in truck and would need to c9me back w/ the correct size. Was in the video, unless I’m hearing things, lol. So, think most ppl “know” you wouldn’t install a system (or repair a system) w/ improper parts etc……BUT IF YOU DID, it would be for good reason, which would be: unable to get part or didn’t have w/ you; BUT than you’d be back to rectify the situation to MAKE THINGS RIGHT and do the job the way supposed to be done; b/c your Mikey Pipes the pipe doctor and it’s your company’s core value, along w/ TESTING! So, don’t listen to those comments (know 1st hand how hard that actually is, it sucks) and keep doing right thing paying attention to details and doing awesome great work👍🏻👍🏻 Cheers✌🏻

@throttlebottle5906 Год назад

should have went with a floor model tank, once over a "60". much easier to set them down than fiddle around hanging them. if they water log from bad bladder, far less headache to move(dolly) when you don't want to make a huge mess. I don't like anything over a #30 hanging myself, unless the space is very tight.
