I just bought 3- viper 3 drawer rolling tool boxes at Lowe's 80.00 each original price was almost 500.00. U can definitely get some deals if your ther at ther at the right time
Great job Steve.
Awesome fix, Steve, keep the video's coming ☝️ 🎉👍👌
For the short run between the risers for the radiator and where the copper ended , I’m surprised that Steve used Pex instead of continuing copper. I like Pex. I ran my shop air lines with it. So far it’s been a couple of years and no leaks. It says that it’s good for 160 psi.
this way it will not leak .. one clamp i have had leaks before .
Invest in some crimpers Steve. You get used to them and gets easier and easier to crimp. Looked like you were struggling to use that clincher. Compression rings are way easier. Imo Clinchers can come in handy in a tight spot where ya can't open the crimper fully.
The item they were talking about that Steve bought at Lowes was a Generac Generator he has a few videos of the installation at his house.
Gotta love low battery on the smoke alarms :)
Cast iron, base-ray, that's some Big Bucks now!
Hey Steve! You're using a lot of the old gundy on this job! 😄
I see he 'shoved' the foil between the wall and radiator, as instructed. 😂
Explain the foil please. I’m new to this
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
Good job.
Good enough for this neighborhood
good old pro press i guess the other dude did that when they removed the bas board good work on repiping like always!
I thought you have to use orange pex with the oxygen barrier for boiler lines?
You do, otherwise the the oxygen that comes out of solution when the water gets hot will end up damaging the the interior. The color doesn't necessarily indicate the material.
That storm was interesting. Steve didnt get anything meanwhile an hour NW of him they got feet of snow. Same here in CT. NW part got hammered.
we got all rain lol
First time I seen you use pex. Here in Florida it's all pex and cpvc for domestic water. Scary for hydronic heat?
No snow up there yet?
I love vidoa some are funny what u say to the people keep up the good work
They really should make cast iron baseboards and slim radiators in the US.
Pizza night! Woooo!
never seen that crimp tool before, interesting
Hey Steve, I love your channel. Just a honest question, why do you use those Stainless steel crimp clamps over the copper rings? I only use the Mil 3 crimper and never had an issue. Keep doing what you do❤
I like and prefer the stainless pinch clamp rings, over copper bands, they're far superior in strength, corrosion resistance and can be removed easily if necessary. You can squash copper rings with your fingers. I use all three systems including expansion and give customers options, which usually comes down to price. One thing to point out though, with a radiator, especially especially an old one, I would have used 3/4 Pex.
Howdy Steve and Molly
SteveaReno! Nice job
Wondered if the tool box handle was going to melt when you soldered the joints together 😂
Me too.
tool box handle is metal rubber coated
So it doubles as a mini work bench ! 😆
The torque wrench arm.
Shit, I didn't even know heat pex was a thing. Guess you learn something new every day
Needs to have an oxygen barrier or oxygen will perminate the pipe and rust out your boiler. I believe the temperature rating is also higher.
yea pex has only been around for little over 20 years now
they should have finished the wall before they had you hook it back up
Good question, if you don’t have a job site coordinator or a general contractor looking over all of the other contractors, electricians plumbers carpenters tapers painters, then everybody just trying to rush in there and get their job done, that’s why it’s a good idea to have a job site coordinator, but good point!
I hated those peks pliers, I only weighed 105 pounds, and I think it took like 90 pounds to squeeze the damn clamp, specially worse in tight spaces, but they got the job done
Nice great job as always
Is that pex B for heating? What fitting can i use to connect to Cast Iron Rads?
$$ Copper is getting so expensive even repairs are getting prohibitive. Yesterday didn't a repair of a 1", 3/4 & 1/2 hot water heat junction and the copper was 100 bucks.
pex will melt?
Its good for 200f
@@adaster98 If you look up specs for Uponer hepex,its 200f @80psi
@@adaster98 Gotcha
its heat pex made for hydronic heating
@@plumbbuild6517 unfortunately no,they started making opaque/clear for potable and heating
Hello Steve!
Steve won't use pro press but uses cinch clamps 😮
better hydronic seal
A propress costs $2K and $10 a fitting... Vs $10 for a 100 crimps an the tool. He's not doing commercial work.
Cinch clamps are the worst either use old style copper ring. I haven't come across a expansion PEX leak I'm sure there out there but have seen many leaking cinch clamps
It’s 13 pounds of pressure. Don’t think it matters much.
I put 1" galv. pipe cheater bars on my crimp tool. Not man enough to close the jaws anymore.
👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think that can of rectorseal is older than me... damn bro
the pipe dope is a few months old ...how old are you ??
@@stevenlavimoniere 29 sir
Now tell the apprentice to put the toolbox back in the truck.
like it ;)
too bad you aren’t there to replace the smoke alarm batteries
I've never used this stuff, oh well.
double clamp?? oh mama!! that’s not the proper way :((
Holy pot holes Steve !!
No way would i use pex, all copper lines on heating system.
First
