Another good educational video Mike. I learn something new every time I watch. Peter is going to be a good tech after working for you. All your employees very good.
That mechanical room looks fantastic.
Good work most techs would just install a new Fill-Trol. Glad you did it right!
the tank was out of air/low/maybe bad, which was why it wasn't filing with water. when the bladder is fully collapsed, it pushes a plate and that stem up to "open" the fill valve and allow it to pressurize to preset amount. if the tank loses pressure it shuts off the valve and no water will enter the system. it's pretty much a safety so the system doesn't keep blowing out the relief valve when the tank is low/out of air/failed.
that's what the moving piece sticking out the tank nipple you were putzing with was(lol). take note a regular expansion tank will not work with a fil-trol valve(prv) like that one, it requires that special tank with plate and the center pin to open and fill. 😉 the first one I seen tricked me for a little bit also.
It’s a filtrol tank and valve , that’s your boiler feed valve, the filtrol tank won’t work with the reducing valve
the tank was out of air/bad is why the valve wouldn't fill. the moving center post pushes open a shutoff valve when the tank is low and allows it to fill to preset pressure.
there's a plate the tank diaphragm pushes up, lifting that center post and "opens" the fil-trol valve shutoff. it's really an anti-flood safety feature, so it doesn't keep refilling and blowing the relief when bladder/diaphragm has failed or air leaked out. the combo fil-trol "tank" will work as a regular tank if used without the fil-trol valve, but a regular tank will NOT work as a replacement for the tank of a fil-trol tank/valve combo.
they all slowly leak air and pressure should be checked/filled annually or more often.
Another professional repair
Gracias Mikey pipes! Excelente trabajo señor.
I’ve have gotten familiar with those aquasmart/Hydro level controls. I like their condensation protection feature by stopping pump until boiler heats to 130 degrees
For those fellow techs out there retrofitting model 3200 Hydro level control remember you should replace the immersion well to sense both temperature and low-water. A standard immersion well will only sense temperature per manufacturer.
How’s South Carolina looking?
hi mikey whats your experience with those gas Buderus boilers
Lmao the middle finger was great 😂
hello mikey what about buderus boilers like them??
Hey, I grew on that same block B43st all the way at the end lol. Far Rockaway is alright. its nice. Nice Video. Great Content.🖖
Good job Mike and Peter.
Clean install by someone who knew just enough to get themselves in trouble.
Lol. I’ve always heard, “an that apprentice that knows just enough to be dangerous. Are you an apprentice?
So where’d all the pressure go?
It is used in production, so they can hang the tank for painting. In general, powder coating. Therefore, they need a mass / Earth on the part to coat.
@@PipeDoctor The little nipple in the pipe of the expansion tank is used temporarily for the paint shop.
@@ADOENDRA nope, that's the lifting post connected to a plate the diaphragm pushes up to open a shutoff valve inside the "fil-trol" valve. the tank as low/out of air, maybe bad and leaked, which is why the system wouldn't fill with water. it's a safety feature so it doesn't keep refilling and blowing the relief valve every heat cycle. 😉
Good Job doc
It’s the plunger that actuated the feeder based on the pressure charge in the tank. I’m a little surprised you didn’t put a valve between the feeder and the tee on the purger
Nice job Mike. As always
Sent the pressure reduce valve model please i need one tank's
what kind of hose is that? Did you custom make that bleeding hose?
That's the actuator for the filtrol value
Its does have something to do with the pressure reducing valve that you took out
Nope, sure don’t
Mikey
What type of combustion analyzer do you recommend
Great work as always . and r we ever going to see shake n bake agian or the thought of a day's labor enough to chase them away ? 😀
Problem solved requiring very little work and re-purposing copper pipe……it’s a win-win situation👍. Teeep, teeep!💰
Sweet easy job 👍👍
Hey Guys Great Job
Wow I have never seen a shut off switch where that one was inside the jacket like that ... whatever..... also did you happen to see what that warning tag said .... doesn't matter at this point I guess
That check valves no Bueno there u got to move it past the air scoop so the water goes directly into the boiler not the zone first
Seen a few only on them fill trolls
Always Disliked coming across the Amtrol fill-trol set up thru the years .... but most of the ones I saw where kind of ancient .... I,m surprised whomever installed that Buderus used it ... then again nothing should surprise us :)I dont believe you can fast feed with it .. Junk ... Cheaper I guess I certainly never priced one ... Nice clean work Fellers :)
peter looks like the guy from movie northman
the thing u took off is a filltrol. the tank is special and it determines how much water gets in. it's junk diy garbage from 30 years ago
I hate when I go to a call and see those. Thank god for pro press. I get rid if those
@@PipeDoctor thank god I can choose not to buy that crap and go with taco or watts😂
@@PipeDoctor also sold at RE Michaels. I just remove them for Tacos and regular tanks because they’re no longer up to code in my area
that fil-trol setup is why the system didn't keep refilling and blowing the relief over and over(x999) possibly flooding the house.
the tank was either just low on air or diaphragm failed/leaking/bad causing the no-fill condition. the water in it they kept dumping out agrees with no pressure.
they all leak some and need checked yearly or more.
Hey I'm number seven I crap out LOL 😂😆
Filtrol fails alot stay with the bell valve
That’s a fill Trol tank .
The half screen is not so great
Lmao and it’s not smoking cigarettes hahaha
Love the videos and i enjoy seeing a fellow tech with profesionalism and knowledge. I have been in the trade in chicagoland for 30 years. One question nobody ever asks. Who taught you besides experience? I would love to hear about the person or people who have helped you to become the tech you are today.
