That internal pipe wrench just paid for itself. The right tools can save your skin.
Not luck, its experience and knowing what your doing. Good job.
Steve’s got every tool known to man, up in that work truck of his...
Holy crap that thing was a turd. I'm surprised you even worked on it.
I'd have shut it down.
You're a better man than I am..
Good lord ... It looked like they had salvaged that relief valve off of a sunken ship & had barnacles on it. Great job on replacing it!
That relief valve looks like it came off of the Titanic boiler.
That internal pipe wrench saved your ass! Right tool for the job
I was yelling at my computer " please dont touch that relief valve!!".....Nice recovery Steve!...I've had that nightmare A few times.
i took a big chance touching it but ,,,this is what seperate the men from the boys...it will make a good video i was thinking ......might of turned into a real shit show very quickly
@@stevenlavimoniere those internal nipple extractor's 50/50 on a good day... It could have killed that boiler if the threads broke off. You are a brave man!
Steve is correct That's a good sign of a excellent tech always check safety's
Damn. You masterfully coaxed that rusted nipple off like a boss.
Steve fixes this "old shit" so good there's no point in replacing it! And damn.. that basement finished around here would rent for like $1000+ a month!
Amazing job! Next level for sure! The best is the end scene with the Nest, running a 1920 boiler with rotted fittings 😂
@@Guillotines_For_Globalists its at least 50 years old
Blaine Bugaski Oh yeah, that looks like it was a fresh install in ‘99. Some plumbing supply house had a deal on a boiler, and fittings that had been forgotten in the warehouse since the early 60’s.
Blaine Bugaski well that is a bet you would lose. steve titled the video is “old boiler with issues”. 20 years is not old. If it was less than 20 years old they would have replaced the old expansion tank up between the floor joists with a diaphragm expansion tank. Also I grew up in an early post-war home (late 1940s) and it had a poured concrete foundation. She’s a crusty one, Mr. Grinch!!!
Blaine Bugaski the fact that all the tradesmen here are telling you the same thing... that you’re not even in the same flippin ballpark, yet you are so adamant to save face. We work with this stuff everyday. You don’t even know the difference between the old expansion tanks and modern diaphragm tanks. They were a game changer, were invented in 1954 by Amtrol (industry leader in ex tanks) and used exclusively since the 60s. You should probably just stick to real estate because you’re way out of your element here. This boiler ain’t no spring chicken y’all!
@@Guillotines_For_Globalists Thanks buddy, when we need dogs videos we know exactly where to look.
I even enjoy the repeats. Good stuff. Go Steve !
Most guys would sell a new boiler. Really amazing !
The right tools for a challenging job.
I havent seen a circuit setter like that in a long time, Wow you sure work on some old stuff
The differential was better at 20. It effects the low side of the control. At 10 the temp will drop 10 below set point and come back to where it was set. When set at 20 it will still come on when it drops 10 but won’t shut off until it’s 10 above set point. Set at 25 it will override set point by 15 degrees.
@@jcstevegigs so on both the high and the low side aquastat settings they will break at the temp set at and then make when the temp drops 10 degrees below set temp. This is fixed on a triple aquastat high side and can not be adjusted.
But on the low side you can make changes. the low side will always make when it drops 10 degrees from the dial setting. The thing is that by raising the differential you will change the temperature it breaks at.
Normally the differential is set at 10. This makes it operate as we expect it to. Let's say we have it set at 160. It will break when running from the low side at 160 and make at 150.
Here's the thing. If we raise the differential to 15 and leave the temp setting at 160 it will still make at 150. But it will over ride and brerak at 165. That's where the extra 5 degrees go.
If you set the differential to 25 it will again make at 150 but won't break until it climbs 25 degrees which is 175 degrees.
This is a way to correct a not enough hot water call in the summer. Once the shower starts and drops the boiler temp to 150 it will make and stay running until it reaches the over ride set by adjusting the differential.
If the differential is set to 25 the burner will run until the boiler temp reaches 175. So the shower problem should be solved. And the boiler will not come back on until the temp drops to 150.
That old relief valve had barnacles on it.
That had to be one of the worst relief valves I've ever seen , great job Steve !
That's why you're the best buddy nice save used to be heavy equipment mechanic and I thought I was the only one that ran into shit shows nice job and I never knew they had an internal wrench like that pretty cool once again thank you for sharing
Dr. Steve cutting out the cancer!
Wow that relief valve looks like it was off the titanic, that's was so bad. I thought that nipple was just gonna crumble, I hate when that happens, it's the worst. I've used a hacksaw and a chisel to get the piece out, it sucks.. that internal pipe wrench is amazing, I can't believe I've never seen them before.. I am ordering a set right now. That's such a lifesaver of a tool to have.. thanks for that steve!! You da man...
That expanding nipple getter-outter is really sneaky and cool. Get’s you right out of a jam !
A master at his craft !
Good demo,showing valve open to solder into system, prevents damage. Thanks Steve, great job.
Good job but I MA boiler inspectors insist that now all relief and safety valves be installed stem up. Only exception is T & Ps
I think the last ten guys did look the other way lol. Keep eating those Wheaties Stevie!
No Taj Mahal mama, oh Yeehaw next level.
I like that internal pipe wrench tool never seen that before. That nipple and relief valve should be put in a museum of worst rusted out fittings. 😂
Are you bidding on the new boiler replacement?
Steve at it again mama next level next level
how'd you get that job? Finally working in the Taj Mahal, nicest basement so far with a boiler from the 1800's. that safety had trouble written all over it.
It looks like you're working on the Titanic.
Nice Job Steve , I would have tagged it out and sent it to the scrap yard before taking that r valve off
good touch(your years of experience), lucky but great touch with the pipe extractor (internal) i was going to try some heat also
Penetrating oil could help also
I am out of Woodstock ct. I got it.
Good job
Are you gonna do the new install ... Just wondering ... I shall do a shot in your and Miss Molly's honor ...
You handled that relief valve good, now if I was there and that happened to me, I would of automatically have said “F***”
96th, lol. another reason to have a separate water heater imo.
Do it on the fly mama!
Whats the attack plan if the nipple had broken off flush with the boiler casting? ... and the ID wrench wouldn't bite in the stub left in the boiler? Pondering what plan "C" would be?
As a pipe fitter in the fire industry we would grab our ridged nipple extractor (A.K.A Easy-out) as it very common that fittings break at the threads on old systems at the control valves.
Had many nipples break off flush , you sometimes have to saw a groove in the piece and use a small chisel to get it out. Chemicals in the steam would eat the nipples away. Have a set of internal pipe wrenches for a long time.
And I thought Pennsylvania had the worse roads in the country.
"That's what they call a shit show!!" 😂😂No truer words have ever been spoken! Lav is the man momma.
You should do a review on a cheap chinese diesel heater. You might like one for your truck.
Awesome job
wow nice job.
oh mama, shes a leaker!
Good to have those inner pipe wrenches, for situations as you had. Do you use tape along with pipe dope or just dope alone on those pipes going into furnace?
Wow!
- Steve, what is the significance for adjusting the differential control dial from 20 back to 10?
Damn Ol Grich strikes again
That was a crusty one, Mr. Grinch
Looks like the valve suffered from dezincification.
That value was a crusty one Mr Grinch 😅🤣😂 That boiler would probably last another 30 years; Oil Heats Best!
Should do the trick for a while. Wonder if you will be putting in new system?
could you not just lower the cold waters flow there fore causing more hot water to stem up for bathing , dishes, etc
Ah, yes - let's add an expensive piece of bling (Nest) to a completely worn out dangerous system, that will fix it..... :rolls eyes: Lipstick on a pig.
Keep up there good work on TH-cam how are u ok mate u do a relly good job on TH-cam well done mate hove a good day mate form Greg Bouchard hove a good one mate hove a good day mate am a big fan of u on TH-cam u do a relly good job on TH-cam
Damn lucky the pipe didn't fold up on itself, would have been major grief all round.
Nice work Steve! I like those nipple extractors, best one's I have seen.
and the carbon dating on the relief valve was certainly mezozoic era.
First, thanks steven!
Excellent work =)
Steve you showed some real talent there in ref to the extraction of that crusty nipple, top notch skills on another level!
does tempering the cold side reduce the water pressure at the fixture?
no
thanks for the reply
do you ever use SharkBite connectors?
That WAS a shit show! I see you brought your golf clubs to the party. Great Job....better you than me
It’s got barnacles on it...
Scammer call really Steve Run !!! It's been on the world news !! Sounds like you could use the app called Tru caller !
Candkeman. Lmao
Worst Relief Valve Ever Mama ! lol That nipple coming out was a beautiful thing.
My buddy could be a double
I swear that’s my saying for everything “it turned into a shit show”🤣🤣
4th
Welcome to the shit show, Mr. Grinch!
Only one mama's boy so far has thumbed this video down because he ain't got no hot wadda mama! Thanks Steven. A bit of a shit show but could have been worse.
doesn't anyone bother to change their default ringtone? yeesh... I hate that ringtone so much
What a hush your mouth show mama....
I am the 100th like
