Very nice Professional work. I have 3 trade licenses ( Gas fitter, Power Engineer ( steam ) and Refrigeration ) and your work impresses me. I also watched your condensate tank replacement video at the church. I worked in a hospital with high and low pressure steam and had those remote tanks also. Retired now and we did not have ProPress fittings and had to thread and solder everything. Victaulic is as close as we got to easier joints. Keep up the good work.

Your cheap mixing valve is supposed to be piped lower than the coil tappings. Read the instructions. Why black fittings on the tank tee?
@valenzaplumbing
10 ай бұрын
Orientation of the mixing valve in relation to the tankless coil does not matter. The manual does not back up your claim, nor does anyone else. There is also nothing wrong with black iron pipe/fittings after the PRV. The check valve separates the potable from the non potable hudronic side. No electrolysis occurs in a closed loop system. It’s 100% okay. Also the LF70A is not a “cheap mixing valve”. Stop hating.

I think you made a few big mistakes. 1 The domestic water mixing valve should have been piped straight up instead of sticking out towards the washing machine, the same with the transformers etc. it’s already a very tight space why make it even more ridiculously tight ? I hope the homeowner doesn’t have to big of an ass. 2 The white 120 V wire should not be running across the top of the OOPS boiler unsecured could easily come in to contact with the 400° stack. I would have also skipped putting the purge bleeder on top of the OOPS boiler all that’s going to do in a year or two is drip and leak water on top of that 120 V wire and cabinet and ruin the sheet metal just look at the old boiler. 3 The drain valve 🚰 at the bottom you were complaining about should have been replaced with a three-quarter inch ball valve, coming straight out instead of to the side where somebody’s apt to step on it or knock into it plus they are always notoriously leaking. 4 I would have put the low voltage electric control wires in a small box with a piece of conduit instead of sticking up with wire nuts, looking like who did it and ran. Remember, every time the homeowner stubs their 🦶 toe on that valve sticking out on the floor or hits their 🫏 ass on the mixing valve sticking out by the washer they’re gonna remember who did the job . I installed a well McLain boiler 25 years ago very similar to the one you did. They haven’t changed a bit. I ran 10 zones with 1/8 hp circulator motors, to each room with their own set back thermostat, saved a fortune in fuel. I change the nozzle and filter at the end of each season and clean out the water jacket and stack every two years and replace the combustion chamber every 10 years works great never had any issues. Still getting 85.5% efficiency.🎅🏼 Ho,Ho,Ho

The piece of equipment we installed here is a boiler, not a furnace 😉 I appreciate the feedback and you watching our videos. Definitely a lot of subjectivity and a lot of speculation with your concerns though. Just being honest. I don’t agree with the words “big” or “mistakes”. The way I did it just doesn’t seem to be your “preference”. Just like replacing the combustion chamber refractory every 10 years, “just because” wouldn’t be mine. The homeowner LOVED the install. He even commented about some of the more minor details that most others wouldn’t even notice. Also, I’m offended that you said my low voltage wiring looks like “who did it and ran” 😂 I think you’re the only one. Have you seen 99% of boilers with zone valves!? SupplyHouse.com featured another one of the boilers I installed and everyone thought the wiring was impeccable. Oh well. Again, thanks for watching.

Nice job. You don't install an air eliminator on the feed because you have the air vent on the boiler? Any reason why no back flow on the water feed?

Correct. Weil Mclain cast iron boilers have an integrated “air scoop” on the first section. It works very well. No BFP required in this town we are working in. Just the city adjacent to it. Thanks for watching!

Unless they wanted to move their laundry room elsewhere in the home, you were not fitting a 40g tank in there, without blocking access to the boiler itself for service, or the washer/drier. These tankless coils aren’t the best choice, but they serve a purpose, for installations like these.

What do the Americans call a boiler? A furnace (American English), referred to as a heater or boiler in British English, is an appliance used to generate heat for all or part of a building. Furnaces are mostly used as a major component of a central heating system. en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

A boiler is hydronic (ie hot water heat). A furnace is forced hot air. The names aren’t interchangeable.
