Great job Matt 👏 👍
Thanks! 👍
@@MikeyPipesOrlando lol 😆
Matt did a great job at the pool heater👍 but not so grate at the meter #1 you need a pressure tap tee past the regulator in order to set & check pressures at the regulator (working & lock up ). #2 a riser should have a shut off before it , in order to isolate the under ground line off & if a pressure tap tee is added you can pressure test it EZ. & #3 risers should be connected with an insulated union to give the risers cathodic protection ,yes the polyethylene pipe does not need cathodic protection but the risers do.
Nice neat job,just not perfect.
I did the gas at pool heater.
OK, great job Mike,piping in that pool heater. From the location of the gas riser to the piping of that gas train (shut off ,regulator , sediment trap & union 👍). Nice ,neat,level & plumb. The meter side was nice ,just needed to add a shut off for the under ground line (a tee would be nice after the shut off for pressure testing access),a tee after the house regulator, inorder to take & adjust pressures . Also, check into those insulated unions for protecting under ground installations (google it ,insulated unions) the gas utilities install one on every meter set.
Stay safe & get a sun pass, you will save a buck or two on those tolls.
Thank you for sharing. With UPS's new contract of 2024, they now get Dr King's day off, but Amazon was working. Looking good in Florida. All the best, and God bless you and the family.
Thanks for the info!
That Home had some Fancy Equipment Installed. 👍🙏
You got that right!
turnpike, the 408, the 429 just to name a few toll roads in that area lol
👍
I definitely saw UPS trucks out here on Monday.
That's the newest outdoor Rinnai. I have the previous gen. Not one problem and I service mine every year. It's 4 years old and I compared my flame rods to brand new spares. No loss of material at all. Slightly discolored compared to new but that was it. I gave them a good cleaning while I was flushing the heat exchanger.
Thanks for sharing
Just curious as to why they need both the heat pump and the gas heater for the pool.
This is what the homeowner wanted.
Great video in Florida can't wait for your videos for Carolina and curious which one of your guys from New York is going to relocate to Carolina or Florida. Also a side note I bet you missed your mega press for those gas lines lol have a great day be safe let's make America great and the trades great again
Yes but it was nice working with the nipples and fittings.
did you check out and fish Lake Apopka while there?
Not yet
Working in NC for the last 6+ years I see a lot of high pressure gas, especially in new developments. I used to live and work in NJ, and we never saw high pressure gas. Definitely takes some getting used too.
Thanks for sharing
Hey Mike! Can you please show some link how to get that natural gas leak detector. Thanks in advance 😊

Better get those guys some mega press down there. Nice job on the install.
all in good time.
Been in Florida for 2 years yet to see any mega press out doors
I'm not even a plumber, but I will not allow mega press or sharkbite fittings on my gas or water lines. I have never seen an o-ring that doesn't fail at some point, usually many years before a crimp, solder or threaded joint.
I thought the same thing on the stop😂😂I have the same heater!
I have a Jandy JXI
Obviously, they got a few things to learn that particular regulators is not great with tankless water heaters and/or pool heaters. Secondly, the regulator should be downstream of the valve where I could come service it without shutting the gas off. I wonder if they have a monometer and they’re actually gonna do a drop test, and is the gas supplier involved in the 2 psi upgrade I’m sure they’re not be 31Q.
Thanks for the engagement.
What brand regulators are those?
Pietro Fiorentini F31052
@@MikeyPipesOrlando Thanks. I have heard negatives about Maxitrol but all my suppliers seem to only want to sell Maxitrol in the smaller sizes, but no specifics on what might be wrong with Maxitrol.
Why you went with the expensive regulator with a vent limiter. It’s mounted outside.
It’s about quality and dependability.
Christopher,I didn’t notice the vent limiter. It should have a rain shield in place of the vent limiter . If it does have a vent limiter, you have a good eye and the installation would be wrong . EZ fix, just replace the vent limiter with a rain shield.
Are you and Tom partners in this company? I subscribe to all your channels and being a plumber myself enjoy every video
Yes, I am an equity partner in the company.
45 tomorrow morning in Orlando mikey pipes
I'm out. 28 at home in New York. 83 in St. Thomas on Thursday! Stay tuned @Scott
@MikeyPipesOrlando I'm going to st Thomas in April. I love that place. Old boss owns marina there in town
Drip leg should be before the regulator.
The underground is the drip leg. Thanks for sharing your feedback
Mike give me a call I’m trying to open a shop in Florida and wanted to know how you did it
Email Mike
you been there a week when the hell is vacation
Started my vacation yesterday.
😮WHAT🫣 At 7:40 are they Tripping? 0.0 galvanized, gas line.?? Man oh man talk about an instant Red tag in Michigan -Ohio- Indiana . WoW must be black pipe an can be painted for protection but that would get me a slap on the head from the inspector… However The Master got a D- on install? 0.0 Hello NASA we got a problem the world just stopped turning!!! Fla is definitely different down there but other than that “ small teeny tiny boo boo? Nice install and is a great idea to keep the required gas pressure up on all units!!!!
Haven't you learned that every jurisdiction is different? Ask your sister!
That's what I was wondering.
@@MikeyPipesOrlando yea your right . Cocoa Beach and Merritt Island not that far in distance, but day and night difference on the building codes. She always did say on the telephone one time No two inspectors can get their shit together. 🤣🤣🤣 she was a jack of all trades an master of none.🤷🏻♂️ Michigan farm girl 🤣🤣 her pet saying always was: if men can do it girls can do it better. She was sparky 🤦♂️ but when you grow up with nothing but 6 brothers ya kick ass an take no prisoners😁😁
@@MikeyPipesOrlando His sister told me that anything goes in her jurisdicksion.
Galvanized piping with gas?
Long Island outside pipe all galvanized pipe
Galvanized pipe is excepted by the national fuel gas code ,NFPA 54 ,GAMA & AGA. The processing of new galvanized pipe is now acceptable and since manufactured gas is no longer used , natural gas has little effect on the pipe. Galvanized pipe is not allowed under ground unless it has an approved coating over the top of it ,like green line tape or approved mastic. Sounds like your state or municipal code need to step up to the 21st century .
Thanks for all the informative replies I appreciate that. Peace
That is correct
Welcome mikey Pipe home of the tolls lol and I-4 traffic and orlando traffic
you ain't kidding.
Flatville, where they nickel and dime you for everything, just to maintain your house. Swamp rats don’t just live in DC !
Enjoy your first hurricane Mikey ! PS,, buy road cameras, front and back.
And don’t drink the water from the purple lines !!! 🤣 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 it’s reclaimed waste water, for those that have never been to Florida.
APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT
@@MikeyPipesOrlando You’re welcome fellow tradesmen !
3 elbo swing joints not required for your risers there?
No
Hmmm.
Regs need to be ten feet from any source of ignition or vented away.
Line needs to be bonded
Need meter upgrade. Between stove, pool heater and Tankkess u have a min of 650 btus and there is a 250 meter
We like Full port WOG ball valves not those restricted small port
I caught that too and was wondering what the cubic feet was by increasing to 2-3 psi. In my neck of the woods we don't have much high pressure so looking at 800 - 1000 Cu Ft meter... and big pipe! BTW, I can't tell from the outside, but that pool heater could be 200, 300, or 400k BTUs. We also do remote venting of regs here in Ct. but with frost issues we MUST make sure to pitch the line for condensation.
Thanks for sharing. Gas co will adjust pressure and change meter. Not our responsibility. The customer needs to arrange that.
Unless you’re covered up to the elbow in Hercules,are you even working?
Facts.
The gas valve should be before the regulator on that p/h. That way if the regulator fails and or leaks could be shut off. Sorry, I saw that you were told on the video 😎🤣🤣and it might work for you on leak testing that way, but is not right. A manometer leak test is the way. How do you know if the p/h gas valve is not bypassing. You must do a manometer test. To check for gas leaks and gas pressure. The gas valve on unit has the ports to do them. Last thing, put a mouse/rat trap near the unit. The wire harness on the inside right come from factory with soy bean coating. Rats love them and will bite into them cause unit to short and stop working. Believe me, I’ve worked them multiple times.
thanks for sharing
The tolls are around Orlando. Most of the state doesn't have them. Pipe dope is a thread lubricant and joint sealing compound. Keep it real Mikey Pipes. Make the trades great again. #LoveBosch Please Like, Share, and Subscribe folks.
SMASH THUMBS UP
Not illegal way to turn gas on and restore gas drop test you can’t do gas if you don’t own a monometer and know how to use it sorry
Huh?
Ron De-San-Tee-Moe-Neous. 🤪👎
lol
Mike again stopped bitching about the tolls. The roads aren’t actually in better condition on the toll roads.then the belt and van vick
I agree but what, i'm not allowed to bitch about it??
@@MikeyPipesOrlando you can if you must but you need to compare the roads to trash roads of the great sate of New York lol
@tdadp It's the climate that damages the roads in the north. Florida does not have that issue for the most part, so these tolls are common because the lack of tax revenue otherwise.
@@MrBen527 Florida has some messed up roads with potholes .. I been on I4 & US 27 and few other in Orlando ..
@@tdadp Yes, some roads will have issues there but in the north ALL roads take a beating EVERY year.
Tom exists! Mikey Pipes real men don't wear gloves unless it's some really toxic shit.
hell yeah he does
Trump mows over DeSantis 😂
lol
True but i think he is comparing state governments 😂 to ny
Trump ? I like Mike's videos too much to make you look like a fool.
@@theguyjt7921 I'm the same.
This customer is asking for way too much. Return to NY mikey 🙏
lol
