Hi Kyle. I just want to tell you that I am one of the people who have helped produce the Grundfos pumps that you just had installed in this video, if you look at the pump you can see that it is produced in Denmark. I have been following your channel since you built for Diresta and enjoy following your builds.
I'm a plumber in my state and i have to say is the best part of my job is when I install Boilers. From tankless combo's to oil fire. It give's me a chance to show of my skills. Everytime I do a new install I always try to out do myself from the last install.
I watched the entire video and it was pretty informative and entertaining. I’ve been in the commercial/industrial building trades for 40 years and I see my share of mechanical rooms. A well thought out and efficient design is easy to spot and this hit the mark on both. Great work
I agree on the mechanical room. I recently built a new home and it's a decent size with hot water heat where the boiler heats the domestic and radiator water. My plumber is really good and did it all with copper and solder and it's truly a work of art imo.
Eric really did do some beautiful plumbing work with all that copper! I think it's great how they came up with the O-ring seals in in copper fittings so all you have to do is compress them on to the copper tubing! He really did do some nice work on it all!
Oh yeah, those fittings were really comes in for the value is when you’re doing large commercial spaces you have to have a firewatch on every plumber. That’s his only job is to watch the Plumber solder joints and union jobs that could be $45-$50 an hour so how much does that cost now a hell of a lot less?
@@steveanderson4768 Yeah, I do some commercial electric jobs for the local union 1141 here in OKC, and anything that is done on some of these jobs that produces a spark requires a Hot permit and all the proper PPE, especially Power stations! If you're grinding or anything that will cause a spark. when I was at Wynnewood Okla. refinery, anytime you got a permit for hot work like that, there was a safety person who sat and watched and the area was taped off with red tape. Red tape required permission to pass into and yellow tape was enter with caution only. Any kind of commercial job in Oklahoma has strict OSHA standards that, if you don't follow, some will get you run off the job immediately and others will get you a warning then the next violation escalates to a write up and you leave the jobsite for the rest of the day and the third violation you are permanently band from returning to the jobsite. Usually Manhattan Safety is one company that regulates safety protocol on jobsites, and if they run you off one job, they won't let you return to any job they supervise. There are a couple main companies used in Oklahoma that do safety management on commercial jobs. They're pretty strict. Most jobs all require hard hats, safety glasses and cut gloves 100% of the time, and they are strict on ladder safety. They catch you on an A frame ladder above the third to the top, it's a warning; second time it's a write up; the third time, you're gone! Steel toed boots are required all the time. You have to have confined space safety training when you hire onto the jobsite, every time as well as fall protection and when you should be tied off when you are on a ladder close to the leading edge, and that usually depends on the height of the ladder. OSHA 10 OR 0HA 30 are required on some jobs along with First Aide. Safety protocols are always enforced strictly on commercial jobs, at least here in Oklahoma; I think most states have the same requirements!
Those powered pipe cutting and crimping tools are a real revelation for the plumbing trades. I had some work done in my basement last year, and was amazed at how much time they save. There still is something neat about a well sweated pipe joint, though. 🙂
i helped a plumber a few years back and he let me do all the pex work while he was doing drain work. He had the same milkwaukee crimper and it was soo nice. I was trying to get my boss to buy one since then and he just refuses based on the price. But they make it soooo much easier.
Eric is awesome and craftsman is a very appropriate descriptor for him. That mechanical room is a thing of logic and beauty. Amazing. Your idea to put mood lighting in there is the least it deserves. I really enjoyed this episode and the nerd part was superb. Nerd stuff is interesting so thank you both. Safe drive home Eric sir.
It’s amazing how that guy can nerd out over all of this stuff but the cool part is the technology that is out there is unbelievable, and like you said, if you have the means to do it, why not
Crazy seeing Eric on RR as I follow Matt also and I’ve seen him there. Great builders and contractors connected is always nice to see. Thank you all for continuing to educate and guide as it is greatly appreciated.
in 2002 I build a 30x40 Urethane SIP shop and installed radiant heating in the floor in Tucson AZ. I used the sun to heat the water for the system. I made a Batch Solar Heater from an old water tank and that was sufficient to keep my shop warm thru the cold Arizona winter months. It was a pleasure to walk inside and feel the warmth slowly comming up from the floor that heated everything. You'll love the ease of heating your new Shop Kyle, great video and explaination of all the aspects of the system. That boiler is amazing.
These closed loop PID Controlled boilers have come so far in the past decade. My home furnace is about 6 or 7 years old now. Kind of runs the same principle of "Just uses enough energy to keep things going" and runs pretty often, but it burns way less natural gas than my previous "High Efficiency" did. All about the fan control along with the burner control.
I was the manager of Facility Maintenance for Cargill corporate hdqrts in Minnetonka. I purchased the VIEGA ProPress soon after it was introduced. When I took over I had found that maintenance staff had been using compression fittings for repairs in finished wall cavities. I had ended that and returned them to solder repairs. But when I saw the ProPress in action I knew it was the answer. One time had to cap a line that couldn't be shut off in a boiler room. Had a valve on the Propress and cut the old valve off, quickly slammed the new valve on, pulled the trigger and closed the valve.
Low loss header, glycol injection, valves everywhere, manifolds nicely placed, neutralizer cartridge, mounted expansion tank with valves and support, and a viessman (vitodens?). This is a very good install. You can use a refractometer to verify glycol mixture is correct. Flush that boiler domestic side every year with a tankless water heater cleaner for the time specified on the label (I use nu calgon vital Flo). Nice video!
The Grundfos pumps in this video are made in Denmark, we make a lot of pumps for lots of brands like Viessmann, Bosch and Vaillant. But that will soon be over, Grundfos are slowly moving all produktion to Serbia.
It is so nice to see a true crafstman in his trade. I have been a Electrican for 50 years now. I can appreciate the true crafstman that cares about the outcome.
Cool to see Eric come down from MN to show Kyle and Greg the install process. After watching his intstagram content for years this is the first time I noticed Eric's tatts and earings...makes me wonder if he conceals/removes them on when working for regular customers? Love all you guys and the great, FREE, content you create and share!
This guy understands his system. He knows how and why everything is how it is. Thats a lucky find. So many people just do exactly as they're taught without understanding why.
That's a really nice, clean install, credit to you all! Eric seems like a really knowledgeable, chill and fun guy to work with too... I especially appreciate the technical details at the end.
Excellent work Eric and I hope you get tons of work from this video. Kyle and Greg looked like they enjoyed learning something new. Happy Thanksgiving to all and be safe over this holiday season.
@@RRBuildings You might want a more spacious location for some mechanicals I.E. place the manifold not under the stair stringer on the next one. It was sweet to see Eric!
A system like this is in a big aircraft hangar i worked in. It didnt work well for a building in NY in the winter when an entire wall is opened up a few times a day to get aircraft in and out but the other hangar didnt have as much traffic so it stayed nice and warm. As you say you need to pick the right system for the building. For hangars I like gas radient heaters because they recover quickly
@truewerk work gear looking good. It’s what we wear in our facilities department instead of the crappy rental work gear our company offers. We buy all our own work gear and it’s dam worth it! As an HVAC mechanic it makes climbing in and out of Air Handlers a breeze!
Kyle, just when you thought you had a lot of Milwaukee pack-out and shelving, here's a guy who has wall to wall Milwaukee in his service van! It's a good brand! They have definitely increased there tool and battery reliability, I guess you could call it, but I know you're glad to get your radiant heat hooked up and just in time for the winter months!
for the penetrations, if you first drill your full sized hole all the way through, if you afterwards use the wholesaw in wholesaw trick, and enlarge only your whole in the vinyl and plywood by an inch, that would give you an additional half inch gap all the way around the vent and fresh air pipe to get into and seal the majrex, and after the pipe is directly sealed to the majrex, on the side where you can get the closest to it, you would be able to use backer rod and caulk it pretty, all while only having the proper sized hole on the outside and through the rockwool itself. its a lot extra work, but you do love to go the extra mile
Cool stuff Kyle, Eric does awesome work! ... If you end up putting led strips in the mechanical room like you mentioned, it'll probably look like the inside of a high end gaming PC in there! 😃👍🏼👊🏼
When Kyle and Greg were talking through the hole in the exterior wall, the layers of rock wool were absorbing the sound waves of their voices as they traveled through the hole. That’s why they couldn’t hear each other.
I have a Navien . Combi boiler . I have in floor heat in my walkout basement and my 900 SF garage. I keep the garage around 55. It's great for working with maybe a carhartt vest on. The basement I keep at 72. It contributes to maintaining temperature in the main floor. Today it's hovering around 30 and I'm maintaining temperature around 73 on the main floor with a mini Split heat pump. Would love to have put in floor in, but it would have added $20,000. Hard to justify. The problem is the only practical way to install in this house would have been using WarmBoard. After 9 years, we find we don't really need to heat the sleeping quarters. It's a little cooler than the living area, but better for sleeping.
Been in the wholesale plumbing and heating industry for over 50 years, first as an owner and later worked for one of the largest wholesalers in the Northeast. I've seen the good the bad and the downright ugly. You my friend do more right than 99% of every plumbers whose work I'm familiar with. Not only are skills top notch but the products you put into the build.. Loved the hydro seperator, I'm curious if it was a magnetic seperator, Awesome to see no auto water feeder, axiom feeder is definitely the way to go. If I'm returning a defective boiler to a mfgr they now want a water sample. One suggestion and maybe it was there and I didn't see it, did you use Axioms demineralizing cartridge for the system fill? Congrats on being top notch!
Strange how so many tools to make plumbing easier,! I'm surprised that you have such a Big shop, but the trades have to park Outside!! He did a good looking job, and explained it well.
Yeah Kyle awhile back I was working on raypac systems for about five years starting I was overwhelmed but like anything it gets broke down into it's simplest form I never mastered it by any means but I learned a lot I think most commercial buildings probably still use them. Oh by the the way never ever remove the flow switch when running it's not a good thing
A few more rules to be a complete plumber. Hot on the left. Colds on the right. Sh’t does run downhill. Payday is Friday. Most important - wash your hands before you eat!
Great episode, it answered a lot of questions I've had about in floor heat. I didn't know of Eric before now but I live in Minneapolis - I'll file his name away for future reference. If I ever build my dream shop I'll know who to call for heating.
in the uk combi boilers are in nearly every house for the last 20+ years they are really officiant. the only thing you will find id it only heats you tap water when its running so you will find you will have to run it a few seconds before it gets hot
We have a similar system for hydronic heat under our slab where the boiler also makes domestic hot water but we also have a 50 gallon tank for the domestic hot water. That allows a buffer for the boiler so it doesn't need to need to immediately switch from floor heating to hot water, unless the tank water temp is below our temp setting for the hot water.. I'd think that would be a better setup
Kyle's going to be counting to six in his sleep tonight lol. I remember working swamp sided at Sonic as a weekend job when i was in my late teens, and I would wake up to hearing a number 9 or some other number someone would order. I was working the night shift so it was pretty busy on a Friday and Saturday night because it was on the main drag in the city of Moore. I'd find myself getting up out of the recliner thinking I was about to fill an order only to realize I was at home lol. Framing houses with my dad during the day during the week and then working Sonic at night on the weekends to make some extra cash. It was like I was in and out of sleep; kind of a weird feeling.
Greg you need to try spyder hole saws they have a really nice chuck system and easy to remove the product from the hole saw. Honestly shocked you don’t have them!
I might be wrong but if i remember correctly Therms are a measure of calorific value of gas which changes from day to day depending what comes down the mains pipe (there are standards but there is a tolerance). Metres cubed is just a volume of gas passing through your gas meter (you'll use more volume of less calorific gas to get the same heat output)
Hi Kyle.

Same company, but different country 😉
Just down south of Denmark...

Dewalt shirt - meanwhile, van filled to the brim with Milwaukee products. 😂
Maybe Milwaukee doesn’t make long sleeve hoodie shirts
Reminds me of the Ryobi guy that recently got caught setting up a Ryobi display using red tools... 😂
@@johnscott2076 I'm not sure there's anything Milwaukee DOESN'T make at this point
@@amcfoamtech Ryobi and Milwaukee are owned by Techtronic Industries, so sister companies.
In the very least its Milwaukee packout. Could be all yellow and black inside. Never know!

AZ... shit hole state full of a hole residents.
Very fascinating!! I grew up with radiated heat and it was the best! I hate the forced air in my house! So dusty!!
I literally laughed out loud in the office when Greg asked if he wanted a laser for setting the plungers. 🤣Also Eric reminds me of Louie Anderson. LoL
Both from Minnesota!

Was missing your videos 3 days!! So glad to log on and see RR buildings show!!
Just in case you didn’t know, the new Milwaukees have a setting so you don’t snap your wrist when drilling big holes
Plumber: "It has to be prepped right."
Kyle: What's the prep?
Plumber: Deburring.
That was a great episode. Very informative and talk about quality work. The guy is an artist. For my money, this is the way to go.
When Kyle and Greg were talking through the hole in the exterior wall, the layers of rock wool were absorbing the sound waves of their voices as they traveled through the hole. That’s why they couldn’t hear each other.
Tech just keeps getting better making installation more efficient, not like sweating lead back in the day
For some reason I think this is one of the coolest videos I have seen in a while.
Credit to the plumber their kyle really organised and very clean job
To remove the slug from the hole saw, tap the side of hole saw with screw driver while you spin the bit. Will drop out 95% of the time 👌🏻

I always remove the hole saw from the arbor to get the wood or metal out! much faster and easier!
"Modern Hydronic Heating: For Residential and Light Commercial Buildings" by John Siegenthaler is the bible for this kind of heating
This episode from Victory was the most entertaining. Please don’t give up your day job.
Love how Greg got chucked under the bus for leaving the door open lol.. Go to escape goat Kyle.
pipe dope in the form of a tape roll, very nice!
OG Eric Aune 💪💯
Hey Kyle. Hole saw hack.
Unscrew the hole saw from the arbor and the cookie falls right out
"I'll shove in from the outside, you just tell me what you want." 😂
Eric does a great job of breaking this all down - always does.
That hole saw pain.... Just had the same issue yesterday!
Interesting to see the yanks are finally catching up with combi boilers!
You guys actually show true building content. Don’t sell for the other brothers there content is nearing click bait quality.
3 min inn and you already know the plumper i gonna be a chill dude!
Once you try a Milwaukee Hole Hawg bit, you’ll never want to use that type of hole saw bit again!
That's the German Typ of plumbing. Very good Job. Grüße
A plumber only needs to know two things, Sh@t runs down hill and payday is friday. A carpenter told me that.
A few more rules to be a complete plumber.
Hot on the left.
Colds on the right. Sh’t does run downhill.
Payday is Friday.
Most important - wash your hands before you eat!

Plumbers have a depth of knowledge on how it all works but their art work is gas lines and sewer lines, oh and super pretty manifolds insttalls.

I was working the night shift so it was pretty busy on a Friday and Saturday night because it was on the main drag in the city of Moore. I'd find myself getting up out of the recliner thinking I was about to fill an order only to realize I was at home lol. Framing houses with my dad during the day during the week and then working Sonic at night on the weekends to make some extra cash. It was like I was in and out of sleep; kind of a weird feeling.
Thanks, great content!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Best video yet, I’m a hydronics fanatic! 😊
Greg you need to try spyder hole saws they have a really nice chuck system and easy to remove the product from the hole saw. Honestly shocked you don’t have them!
Wait I see you using them further in the video.
That Cat has all the right tools Nce job!!!!!
I might be wrong but if i remember correctly Therms are a measure of calorific value of gas which changes from day to day depending what comes down the mains pipe (there are standards but there is a tolerance). Metres cubed is just a volume of gas passing through your gas meter (you'll use more volume of less calorific gas to get the same heat output)
One therm is the energy content of approximately 100 cubic feet (2.83 cubic metres) If you want/need to convert.
39:26 Aluminum pipe wrenches. The only way to go. Especially for us older folks.
What a great video. Very educational, and entertaining.
I enjoyed it.
God bless.
Glad he uses good brands for pumps and fittings
You guys got the little piece of pipe that rolled under the wall @8:15 out of there right? right?
