The Beauty Of CSST Tubing For Some Natural Gas Installs?
Looks like a rope light bracket
I used one a couple weeks ago. I found a leak in a line that ran thru the main wooden beam in my basement (1/2" copper). I jogged 3 soldered 90's and 1 shark 90 around the beam. They come in handy when you got a constant drip on the supply end. They aren't cheap but they save time.
@kechumgreen8893 My experiences have been upbeat, until get in too big of a hurry and make mistake(usually my fault). Enjoy the holidays!
Also, if a plumber bends the pipe too severely right at that union, the torsion can cause it to leak around that collar.
@@wearenotamused6455 If it's plumbing, it may break at some point, SNAFU. After all breaks may create work? Enjoy the holidays!
This video is about 3 minutes too long.
Next time, try writing out your script and learn it....
I just use a adjustable wrench sized to the pipe and push the jaws against the locking ring wile pulling on the sharkbite fitting. Works every time for me.
@earlrissel4454 That works too, just gotta get the release mechanism pressed. Thank you for sharing. Thank you!

🤣 lmao you called it a Hot water heater...... there's no need to heat hot water. 🥵 it's a cold water heater
I've been plumbing for over 25 years. Yes, you're correct it's a water heater. However, I stopped correcting people long ago.
@gallardo360 You may have a point. Lol. Thank you, have a great day?
counter sales here, QO and homeline breakers are two different plug-in style low voltage breakers for square d loadcenters, you can tell the difference in the way the frame (face & body) of the breaker is, especially if you pull one out, the clips that plug into the bus bars are completely different, they are for sure not compatible with each other! great video! God bless!
QO stands for "Qwik-open". Something else when choosing a breaker that is oftentimes overlooked is a straight rating vs slash (or slant) rating. Art. 240.85. A circuit breaker with a straight voltage rating such as 240V or 480V, shall be permitted in a circuit where the nominal voltage between any two conductors does not exceed the circuit breaker's voltage rating. A circuit breaker with a slash rating such as 120/240V or 480Y/277V is for use on a solidly grounded circuit where the nominal voltage of any conductor to ground doesn't exceed the lower value of, and the nominal voltage between any two conductors does not exceed the higher value of the circuit breaker's voltage rating. All single pole, and most two pole breakers are slash rated, while all three pole breakers are straight rated. A common violation occurs when supplying a single phase line to line loads from a 120/240V 3ø 4 wire delta panelboard. Phase B is the high leg eg. 208 volts to ground. A two pole breaker placed on phases A - B, or B-C must have a straight rating, if placed on C-A a breaker can have a slash or straight rating. You can forget about driving to your local home depot to buy a straight rated circuit breaker.
@@rarelampcollector Thank you!
Quick open!
NAH BECAUSE I AIN'T SEARCH NUN LIKE THIS BUT I BEEN TALKING ABOUT MY WATER HEATER GOING OUT THE GOVERNMENT IS LISTENING
Always green
"Hot" water heater huh. I don't think of appliances in that way lol And as a master electrician it doesn't matter which leg goes to which. By code you should have a means of disconnect by the water heater (breaker doesn't count). Wire and overcurrent device are sized based upon the nameplate and wire type. They aren't always #10 on a 30. Other than that, you've got her. 👍
@caden01691 Breaker box is within arms length, easy access. A quick disconnect is nice, though. Thank you for the positive input. Thank you!
"Great question! Is the union fitting mainly for easy disconnection during maintenance, or does it also help with safety and leak prevention? 🔧🔥
Don't touch these two wires, open breaker and install to avoid damage.
@@Javier-u8p Great input! Thank you!
For questions like this, the answer is always to think about what's actually happening. Obviously, natural gas is flowing into the building and servicing whatever units need natural gas inside the building. The point of the valve is to isolate or disconnect service to a unit. The point of a union, in regards to a unit, is to allow ease of service/disconnection to the unit itself or service to some aspect of the piping assembly on the unit (e.g. a control valve). Therefore, with regard to direction of floe, a union should always come after a valve. Otherwise, breaking the union would result in having natural gas just openly spilling into the air around you, which would make you an idiot. A dangerous idiot.
gas cock should be before the drip leg, and before the union
Valve should be installed before union
@stevebanner1119 My opinion is agree, for gotta have way to turn-off before breaking union. Thank you!
Most important thing connecting flimsy CSST is to make an approved bonding method. Ungrounded ir poorly grounded tubing had started fires!. Hope they hot and hurr act together, while atrending an electrical continuing education class ten years ago they told ys yhat every CCST manufacturing company had thier own method for grounding.
The red wire is “normally” the power wire. You can never know what wire is what without looking at the existing thermostat.
@@HeavyBeam Never know what is wired until inspection. Lol. Thank you!
Im confused, tou said the gas comes in and goes up...now i havent seen small pipe goto bigger pipe unless its at the meter. And the drip leg is only required on a drop down before you go horizontal. Also the valve should be the shut off for a unit after the flare ftg and soft copper...at least were im from...ive never seen it xome in soft and goto a larger eigid pipe ..
@@brianruckert9389 1/2" pipe feeds unit, which may be fairly common in residential uses, save tankless water heater which may need 3/4" pipe due to higher BTUs. Thank you!
@brianruckert9389 Pipe size is 1/2" in this case, no use to upside in this particular case. Yet, my opinion is one may have to calculate BTU load, pipe size for their configuration, as it may vary. My opinion is I may have 2# gas meter, yet if I had a thankless water heater, I may have decided to upside pipe to 3/4" to get more volume. Thank you!
The length of pipe and number of elbows and fittings is very important to calculate properly. Ideally you always want larger diameter pipe until a drop in size is required. Many people use the terminology incorrectly. Pressure isn't the same as flow rate. With gas you need to determine the proper flow rate needed for your application and size accordingly. Most gas supply lines are low pressure, and you want to rout the lines with the least amount of pipe and fittings to reduce headlosses.
@James-p3m8j Thank you! ...great points, too much pressure without a regulator may create another set of issues. 7-11" WC may be workable pressure?
Always on the supply side of union
@anthonylawlor9130 My opinion is this is supplying gas side, simply easy to cut-off gas and repair, replace unit, etc. If union was located behind cut-off, then one may have to cut-off gas at meter unless another cut-off elsewhere. My opinion is it's simple to turn-off gas and then break union. Thank you!
@@anthonylawlor9130 It makes total sense that there would always be a shut off valve on the supply side, just think toilet, hot water heater, furnace, pool heater, after the new "T" for new line to Generac automatic generator outside etc.

This is super helpful! Before configuring the thermostat, how can you tell if your system is gas or electric? 🔧❄🔥"
@TawfiqAlRahman Follow gas pipe, look for gas burner in air handler. If you pay a gas bill, to utility company, and one has a gas line feeding unit, this may portent one may have gas unit. Heat pump, ir one goes outside, looks thru top of condenser, and sees something that looks like several pipes going in one direction and another pipe from other side, a reversing valve, then one may have heat pump. Thank you!
@@gotchaplumber Great explanation! Spotting a gas line or a reversing valve is super helpful.
@TawfiqAlRahman One could type "reversing valve" into search engine images and this may give a pictorial. The "reversing valve" may be located outside in the condenser. Simply make certain unit is turned-off, shine flashlight thru grate from top down toward compressor, and if reversing valve is there, then one may have a heat pump. Thank you!
@@gotchaplumber Thanks a lot.

Propane (C₃H₈) contains approx 2,516 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per cubic foot. Natural Gas, which is mostly methane (CH₄) contains approx 1,030 British thermal units (BTUs) per cubic foot. It is not pressure related, it is chemistry.

HVACR tech. You connect line voltage the common and either the 208v or 240v post depending on the application. The two bottom terminals are exclusively 24v load. Connecting that transformer any other way will result in burning up the secondary winding and or any connected devices
@Tom_the_Turkey Thank you! The com kinda threw me off, as think as com(blue low voltage)? Why do they list high voltage as com? Thank you!
@@gotchaplumber The common post is labeled common because it’s shared with both voltage ranges. (Common to 208v), (common to 240v) Keep in mind that when your dealing with 208v and 240v both incoming wires are “hots”
@Tom_the_Turkey Correct, two hots. Is the #10 wire? Thank you for clarifying.
@Tom_the_Turkey One other question, are these transformers considered grounded when screwed to chassis?
@@gotchaplumber yes I believe so, but I’m not 100% certain
