Wiring is one of the hardest concepts for guys to learn, when they get it, it’s like a light bulb turning on in there heads. I have been teaching HVACR Apprentices for close to 20 years, on and off.
Really Good Video, Mike.
Some guys learn by seeing a diagram, some by reading a book, some by watching a video and others need to put there hands on it and do it over again. In the trades it’s usually the hands on type, not being disrespectful at all, I don’t care how someone learns, as long as they learn.
👍🏻👍🏻
I generally don't comment on these videos, but my goodness.. This was simply phenomenally done. Very detailed, but easy to follow and understand. And most importantly, it wasn't boring. This allowed me to watch it completely without skipping through and missing important things... Well done, sir. You certainly earned my subscription.
Man you don't know how refreshing it is to watch you cut that cluster fn mess and it is simple to do a neat n tidy job.
Mike, I wish I had a mentor like you. I worked in maintenance for 45 years. Maintaining and repairing specialty wire production machines. Extruders cable machines. First 10 years none of the old-timers would show me anything. After gaining knowledge on my own any time a new mechanic came into my shop I would show him everything I knew. I watch your videos every day you were the man.
I always coil up the extra wiring to make it look a little better, great work!
Nicely done Mr. Pipes.
Good concise method and instruction. Thanks for spreading proper technique.
Nice explanation and clean-up on aisle 4 ... You made it look so easy ... Thx Mikey Pipes ...
This guys does such a good job explaining everything
You made this very simple to understand with your... descriptive explanations! Thanks for the Vid!
Mikey … can’t thank you enough for this one my hvac guy was lost … watched your video and BOOM ALL IS WELL !!! Thanks
Great video. Sir you know your shit. These guys working for you have a great opportunity to learn the right way and make a great living. I’ve got a couple years in plumbing and looking forward to get my hvac license. Good luck in Florida!!!
We use to call wiring like that a “Rats nest”! I would do like you did, cut back all the excess, organize the wires by pair, and put Brady tags on them making it easier for the next tech. Great job as always, Mikey👍
Mike
very knowledgeable video, thanks for your effort and well explained video. I recently learned the basic electrical and it all made sense ( I am plumber my self and learning electrical has been a huge plus for me).
Thanks again Mike 🔥
Best detailed video. I had the same mess and without your help, I would have not been able to upgrade to my modern wifi thermostat. I'm currently happily following you. Thank you!
Thanks for taken the time explain exactly what you're doing in walking through the steps
I have been in HVAC for 3 year's
It's great to see someone take pride in there work
I have been in construction for long time I take pride in my work
Any I can learn is greatly appreciated thanks for the video take care and Marry Christmas and Happy New year
Since watching your channel I can now look at my boiler and identify all the parts. Maybe even attempt to fix something if it breaks. Mikey Pipes taking over the world.
please, more of these educational videos! Perhaps your own HVAC course? haha thank you for these videos.
excellent educational video Mikey p. great job!!!
that was very educational video good job Mike
You can’t know how spot on you are with the part where u said what your sisters watch
Mikey is always 100% confident and fearless in his wiring skills and never lets us down 👍👍
Willlie from Phillie, “ love your video’s “ giving us newbies the skiils that will bring back respect 4 the tradesman! Thank you so very much !

Great vid Mikey. Learned a few things.
The Rubes are strong with this one. Nice Video Mike and Peter. Bring on the waygos.
Great video mikey 👏
Excellent work
My first hvac job was with an oil company in 99 before zone control boards were common. The hornets nest of wires was intimidating but now it's so easy. Important to know which t stat wire goes to which zone valve before tearing it apart to clean up. Great video
they were not labeled so Mikey buzzed them out, that why he tore it apart like an animal.... lmao
Thanks Mikey! Your the man🤙
You appreciate us watching and we appreciate you teaching us. I learned so much watching you just like an apprentice learning from a master being right there and listening to you explain what's going on is priceless. I couldn't get one contractor to take me through the trade because they have to pay me a decent wage. They'd rather hire a guy that can make them stacks of cash without having to "baby sit" them all the time. It's hard to survive in a world of lazyness and being cheap. Someone has to make that decision of do I want to waste 50k a year on someone or pocket that money. Because of that, I work at walmart stocking produce barely surviving. I used to build 480v service's, run conduit, romex, doing a lot of residential work such as wiring entire houses by myself to struggling to stay afloat. Where I am, there isn't a lot going on and learning a new trade is always a plus, especially when that guy decides to drop 50k a year on an apprentice, they better step up to the plate.
Neatness counts! Nice job!
Great Video!!! Educational, Entertaining, Real. I just subscribed.
Best detailed video of wiring
Thank you! Best video I've seen yet!! I definitely learned something. Great video!
Glad it was helpful!
DC voltage Oneway street… AC Voltage 2 lanes… helped me get my head wrapped around it when it was being taught and explained to me great video!
Mike incredible informative video thank you
Excellent job your the man
Great video I'm not even know why HVAC or nothing but I want to get into it and I'm learning a lot of stuff from you thanks Mikey I'm putting in my own boiler
Great Video. 👍
Wow Mike u make it look all eezy peezy
Nice job of cleaning up a goat rodeo. I do this a lot of this, I hope some day WAGO will follow, but I was taught to do these with terminal blocks mounted to a board somewhere near the valves. In later years I went to running the thermostat wiring in plastic push lock air tube to eliminate pinching loose wires. It looks great on multi zone radiant systems and it’s easy to install drill a hole pop in a rubber grommet and use a zip tie to retain.
absolutely a clean and detailed video!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you liked it!!
Nice work
excellent job 🤟
I have been a electrical controls guy for 40 years - if you want to confuse a kid just start using the term "common"... to explain circuits. In control circuits it's a switched hot until it goes through a coil or motor then it is a neutral. And all your doing with multiple stats like that is parelling them so when a stat closes it opens a zone valve and the switch in the zone valve turns on the boiler IF the boiler temp is below the set temp... you should build a teaching board to teach boiler and ac electrical to the beginners ...and some of the more experienced guys that still dont get it...
Full support 🔥
Great educational a video👍🏾
Thanks Mike
Thanks mikey
As a fellow HVAC Professional, I was side by side until the Green wire! ;) And then you confirmed it at the end. You are a humble and professional, well deserving of the title as an educator. I too just like Stromy2510, have for the first time subscribed to a GURU in high regards! Great Job!
Well done
One statement you made I strongly agree with. Let's make the trades industry professional again. I get very tired of the half a$$ work that 80 percent of these heating guys do now a days. I run into more messes like you ran into with this than I do clean installs anymore. Not sure if it's because some people don't know what they are doing or if they are just lazy or a combo of both. Thank you for installing "pride in your work" to your apprentice and if your apprentice is reading this, that pride in your work is what will land you jobs for the rest of your life.
Very good
Good stuff 🎉
EXCELLENT!
Soo nice video
Soo good
Great job brother
Thanks 👍
Fantastic
Best video
It’s my first time watching your videos and you’re great
My whole family is from New York, my mom lives in Oceanside and my cousin in island park and Long Beach.
From Indianapolis enjoying your videos
Welcome!!
Very interesting I'm a heating engineer from the UK. 90% of our zone valves and controls are on 230-240 volts and the 2 most common systems in the UK are called S-plan or Y-plan. The basic concept is the same. Keep creating great content and have a prosperous New Year.
why dont they change that... much safer at low volt
That mean retrofit step down transformer to millions of central heating wiring centre when this has been the normal for 40 yr
remarkable! the best
I’m very happy you enjoy this video. Hopefully you got something out of it. Learn something new every day let’s go.
Very helpful, thanks. Question, if the top and 1st floor not heating how did plumbing contractor think changing one valve would fix it? Was the initial problem the commons on those two floor therms not matched up correctly?
U DA MAN!
Good video
Thanks for the visit
Nice Video! If i may make a suggestion for future videos. Wire up only one zone valve so we can see and follow better. Then, proceed the way you normally wire them. I was following ok at first, but starting getting a little lost as you were adding more wires...
1 no video
A rats nest of wiring always gets me excited, love a good challenge, good work mike!
liked a lot
Keep it up
Good ♥️
Cool🔥
professor freaking pipes, zero doubts mr. pipes knows what he is talking about .btw....you like john deer tractors?
I sold my old and purchased my house a year ago.
I’m a Automotive tech of 20 or so years now. I do all the Diagnostic / programming work and electrical repairs.
In my new house I have 5 zone valves that all work fine. However the wire management is D~ work. One part of me says just leave it alone the bigger part says clean it all up and redo it.
NYC 😍
Those HoneyWell zone valves have 4 long wires, but not long enough! What do i mean? Well I like to wire all the low voltage wires into a junction box and make my connections in it. With Taco zone valves this allows me to do just precisely that, which in turn makes for a cleaner, neater job. I do like those new age wire connectors you used here, they are quite neat indeed! Don't get me wrong, i know this is not a new install, so we have to deal with things the way they are most of the time in heating service. BTW Congrats on your licensure endeavors.
I just love seeing that wago jump back in your case. 😂
OMG 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know my way around AC wiring, ever even seen a boiler. My brother moved to Iowa and asked me flr help with his boiler. This video showed me exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.
I have a question tho. Why are the two thermostats next to each other? Doesn't that mean it'll never know the actual temp of the zone it's heating?
This video was extremely helpful and almost identical to my system with some minor differences. My (old) boiler has two external 24v transformers for a 5 zone system. I wired just as described, but my nest thermostat is only showing ~12 volts at the thermostat for the C wire. Do I need a new 24v transformer with more amperage? Thanks!
@@PipeDoctor Any thoughts to why my thermostats would show ~12 volts for the C-wire, but a multimeter shows 28v across the R and the C? Thanks!
Heck looks normal, always switched the ground or common. Check the wiring manual for how to hook them up.Easily done.
Like it
Love the channel. Quick question. My WM boiler keeps short cycling. Any reasons why?
Not enough load
Mikey, does the transformer on the boiler capable of suppling power to all those therms & zone valves?
Great vdeo, thank you for your time for doing it! I was wondering if I send you a simple schematic with 2 valve zones (the 1361 of White Rodgers and the 672b of Motorola) would you be able to just validate it that is correct? Especially that I want to replace and old TStat for a wifi one that needs an extra wire which is C.
Thank you
That mess looks just like what I have in my home at the moment. 3 zone boiler system with Honeywell zone valves. I want to redo it and your video was real helpful. Thanks! Are the two reds and yellows on a zone valve interchangeable for wiring purposes?
Thank you again Mikey pipes. I enjoy all your videos and wish you the best. Happy new years and hope you had a great Christmas/hanukkah. You should just turn to the dark side and get rid of siri. Love you brother and I feel like your apprentice. I started 2019 in Wyoming after 18 years in the kitchen. #mikeypipesapprentice
Keep on learning. Don't ask someone to do something you are not willing to do yourselfe.
Steve lav, is the king of oil!
Great !
But I think I missed why two thermostats
One for heat and one for AC ?
correct the other therm for A/C only, sloppy therm install
Not bad
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good job and I thank you very much I'm at an old timer I need help One thermostat works the other one does not work if I switch it around the one that I switched to it works and the other one doesn't work any advice I thank you and have a great day keep up the good work
There's something weird about CZcams when you watch it this video on Roku. Watching this video on the phone fine but when you get to 7 minutes and 14 seconds on CZcams through Roku it gets out of sync. Meaning the audio and the video itself is no longer in sync. It's kind of like watching a dubbed Japanese monster movie. But it still was a very interesting and educating video. Great job.
Hey, this is fantastic, and thank you for sharing. One *minor* quibble - can you add text overlays when you're asking the guy early on "what is this called?" I can't hear his replies and I'd like to know what they're called. Thank you.
could you do a vid about line stats with ribb relays?
very similar to a 24volt relay and thermostat, except you have line voltage thermostat and relay coil(mostly 120v but could be many other voltages).
the relay contacts switch the "high current" loads on and off, while the thermostat only switches the "low current" relay coil on and off. that allows the thermostat wiring to be smaller gauge and long runs without voltage drop and high current (say 14awg), controlling a relay with 20 or 30 amp contacts "near" the device being switched, which would have much larger wire and high current draw.
probably not a good explanation, there's a reason I'm not a teacher. 🤡 far better at doing than saying.
You will make bank during hurricane season in Florida.
@@PipeDoctor Hurricane Mikey is coming
Not in the trade. But I gotta say, after your channel popped up on my YT ( guessing cuz I’m in Nassau County? ) I’ve learned so much about HVAC.
Besides that, this is my daily dose of education and comedy. I look forward to daily to seeing your videos Good Sir!
@@PipeDoctor you should donate your Mercedes Benz sprinter van to Steve Lav, he just said his truck is dead 💀
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mikey fucking pipes!!!
Thats the reason you are the fucking bossssss!!!!
THE GOAT!!!
🐐🐐
On repeat
I think they put the zone valve on the circulator to use as a flow check
or possibly just for the end switch, but maybe both. at one point integrated flow checks were not a thing, so you'd need to use a relay box and flow check both. the other zone controller likely cannot switch both line voltage(for circ.) and low voltage end switch at once, or it's combined in a group of others. hard to say/guess without looking it all over. they may be stupidly running that circ. pump dead-headed by closing the zone valve and letting it run with the rest of the circs. and boiler.
