Love those day’s when everything flows smooth as silk. Looking forward to Part 3. 👍🏻 Take care, -Paul
Don't let the critics drive your content. Then it becomes theirs. Your channel is great just the way it is. Keep up the great content and chipmunk voices.
Thank you so much…. I am doing a remodel in my bathroom and this is going to help a bunch for me to get more square footage in the bathroom….
My house was built in 1940. This video helped a lot, thanks
Most people who get rid of radiators in their home because they are remodeling are sorry they got rid of them years later. They want modern but modern doesn’t heat as well or as comfortable. They want more space but find More room means more heat is required and the old radiators did that with no problem. The new replacement is more costly too because it’s not as efficient as those cast iron units that dissipate heat over time. Sometimes new doesn’t mean better.
No one ever regrets it
I'm remodeling my home and a previous owner had installed baseboard radiators in an addition. Just removed them and bought some cast iron to replace them. They are even the same style as the originals in the older part of the house. It's gonna be snazzy! Cast Iron radiators do take a bit of space, but not too much, and they look so much better than the baseboard style that inevitably get dents and dings from furniture.
All I learned is I have to get a licensed plumber to do the work......lol!
My thoughts exactly! 😂😂 this will NOT be a home project
Why? The way he did it looked really simple and easy, even for those not used to working on these types of things. My take is the opposite of yours - that most people think they need a licensed plumber for such work, then when the see this video, they realize how simple it is and that anyone with zero skills can do it properly, with just basic hand tools that most of us have lying around the house anyway.
@@TomReichner bzzzz, exactly
I love these videos. Thank you Mr Handyman!
Do have a great day.
Now off to watch it now.
Black floor looks cool. Best of luck explaining sharkbites. There's enough connection types you could easily spend over an hour just explaining each one. Pex is the greatest thing to happen to diyers and they should thank the plumbing gods daily for it. 🤣🤣
Love the sound effects while loosening the 14" pipe. Sounds just like me! lol
Boilers that have sight glasses are steam boilers, you only want to fill them to a certain point on the sight glass unlike a typical boiler where you just fill the entire system with water. Just got back from installing a pain in the ass oil boiler/tankless water heater that is located under a cabinet in a kitchen.
Thanks! Getting 6-10” of snow this weekend.
Watch out! Those harbor freight poles could blow up at any time!
Cab I use the originals, the Fastcap Third Hand: www.fastcap.com/product/3rd-hand-hd?cat=46
What size are the threads are they 5/8 or 3/4?
I have one I got to unhook and move and hook back up.
suggestion for getting more likes and subscribers. at the end of your video you ask people to like and share and subscribe. you ask this then a sec later your video ends. instead of ending right away have your videos continue for another 10+ seconds. this gives people enough time to hit like etc before going on to whatever they watch next. learned this tip watching another TH-camr and thought I'd pass it along. hope it helps!
Love the floor! BUT, the grout color will make it or break it.
There's a couple of basic types of hydronic heating, one being steam and the other hot water as here. By the way, OP, you're doing a great job with your videos, I love the production values in it,so much like hanging with people that I work with. Right after your snatch clean and jerk maneuver, I saw what you did there! On a more serious note, I am a one-eyed carpenter and guess what, I wear safety glasses all of my waking hours. Keep up the good work!
If there is a sight glass on the boiler, then you are dealing with a steam system. Typicaly steam boilers are about 2/3 full of water and the sight glass shows the water level and nowadays most have an automatic feeder to keep the water at the right level. Not many of those systems around anymore at least not where I live.
Dod you mention purging all rhe air out of all the radiator??
I love that look. Its modern and retro all in one. Regarding the topic of fittings my only concern with the shark bites is can/will the friction fitting hold up over the years? I used them on my toilet and sink supply lines but thats exposed and you can easily see if there are any issues.
I can see the board you’re use for the shower walls by the window. Is that diamond board?
How hard was it to crack the union?
Hi from Louisiana ! Been watching all your videos. I have no life 😂. Have you ever thought about getting an apprentice?
What was placed there for heating?
Those poles look very useful. Any recommendations on what to get?
I really like that black floor but black always looks good when it's new and clean. My experience has been that black shows all dirt, hair, etc, even more than white.
I don’t like pet for any reason other than I just think of copper when I think water pipes. Don’t really have anything against and completely understand how handy it is. Shark bites are awesome and handy.
On my old radiator/boiler system, they added an oil product and I had no rusty water at all. The water certainly wasn't clean though.
I'm curious how you "blow down" or flush the rusty water out of a steam boiler that has a sight glass only? There is an emergency cutoff handle on the same side which looks like it has a water outlet facing down, but I'm intimidated to try anything. I'm assuming the boiler needs to be on (for a short period) to work, and I need to open the new water valve as well to actually flush through?
hahaha, Hexagon. not eight sided. thanx for the video.
Yes indeed, and Hexagon patterns ARE cool, nice choice!
Great video! Thanks man!
Cut sheetrock with your multi. That's why you have it. But on the other side maybe your point is for people who don't own a multi.
I was just wondering how you started doing this, and where did you pick up alot of your knowledge?
here are 2 videos that explain it. th-cam.com/play/PLpy7a6cc133h9chfLBb8svFHHbaopWrHx.html
I need to temporarily remove a radiator (looks just like the one in the video) to do some remodeling. Why do I have to drain the entire system? Couldn't I just remove the water from the one radiator that I'm moving? Good video BTW.
You can not remove water from one radiator. They don't work like that.
You should be able to if that radiator happens to have shut off values, but most don’t, so it’s all one system.
Good work💯🎯
I have a customer that want me to remove 7 radiator and close up the wall can you say how the charge is to remove one?
I love the safety squint. Unfortunately, I do it all the time also..
When you were setting tile on the walls, what were all the white marks on the backer board and subfloor? I saw the marks on Instagram.
Bathroom ceiling light with fan install. Why do they always rattle? Help!
They rattle because they are cheap. I put the best one I could find in this bathroom and its whisper quiet. Also the fan blades get dirty and unbalanced. They make replacements for the cheap ones.
Thought there was no water in those systems unless it was heated. I thought only steam was in the line so when it wasn’t boiling there was nothing in those radiators correct me if I’m wrong please
No steam only hot water. Maybe on a commercial building. But in Residential they are all completely filled with water. NO air or steam.
In domestic systems 99/100 it's going to be a water system.
There are plenty of steam boilers in the north east for residential.
Hot water systems are full all the time . When you call for heat the water is simply heated and circulated by a pump. Steam systems sit empty until you call for heat. A boiler will simply boil water. The steam then pressurizes the system, no pump is required. Water systems are warm . You can fry an egg on steam radiators.
I've been in the carpentry trade for a bunch of years here in the Northwet but rarely do I see hydronic in residential, and then yes it is hot water. Some of the commercial property I work on has full-blown steam heat originally built in 1927.
Have you ever used RedGard? Was it any good if you did?
I use it all the time.
Dude, the plumber that we work with under his license will not go for shark bites
Absolutely never remove a radiator. Best heat available hands down.
No hold back on the nipple when loosening the 45? That's when you break the thread on the nipple you wanna save and cap. Then you have a leak
So are they replacing the old radiator with a baseboard or something?
And... that's weird. Exactly how old is this house? If the pipe to the radiator runs between the drop ceiling and the original ceiling, the heating system must have been installed well after the house was built. So that can't be the original heating system. Did they just heat with wood or coal fires before that?
oh my is that asbestos on that pipe there, that stuff is very dangerous!
If you eat it every day for breakfast it could be dangerous. Touching it 100 of times is harmless.
Monoflo "T" system 😎
Can you mention how much you charge every time you started a new job
Never seen a radiator like this. Maybe im too young... What does it do?
Ofri Mashiah it is a radiant heater. Hot water flows through it and it heats the room through radiant heat.
AJourneyOfYourSoul and still being used in new construction? Or used say before 2000s?
Ofri Mashiah I have only seen them in real old homes, 1950s or older. They still use these type of systems in new homes but use either baseboard “radiators” or PEX piping under the floor to take the place of those big stand alone radiators.
The concept remains the same but often the radiators have a more contemporary style. Having said that there is a retro trend going round at the moment (at least in the UK) to fit old school rads like this in new systems.
sharkbites haven't been around long enough to see if they fail.
Psi is the pressure on the top (blue) the temperature is in (red) at the bottom .. I know that you know this
yes, observed he kept pointing to the wrong one as he called the name.
You keep pointing to the wrong gauge as you speak the name?
heat and pressure.
i don't have Instagram !!!! please upload video on TH-cam :)
Handyman, where wud you use Teflon tape?
Other than on pipe threads?
i am 73 and you are through =======take that from rn retired ======i see so much
of the inners and how to do that =======try things mysel ======from conneticut
I'm addicted to your videos...keep them coming... thanks
I would disagree with your comment on the owners maintenance of the heating system. Given the system is healthy you really don't need or want to drain the system down yearly. You ideally want the same water and just keep on top of adding a good quaility inhibitor yearly/when required. When you add all "fresh" water it takes many heat and air bleed cycles to get all the air out as the fresh water will off gas until it reaches equilibrium. Systems only rust or sludge up from lack of inhibitor in the system. In which case a power flush can get the system factory clean and ready for a good maintenance regime. I do understand in this video you had to drain down in order to do the work, but thats not my observation.
I work on heatings in switzerland. We don't use inhibtor here, Care you explain what it is and what it's supposed to do?
I got really nervous watching you unscrew that pipe with your mouth open...
yo
black tiles.... ew
You talk too much.
