Mike one thing that I found out long ago Give the owner a show is fun and they love you. Way to go
You know what you’re 100% correct?
Yes Mikey, I can see why you love your profession and engaging with the client. Not to mention how educational and entertaining your videos are
I appreciate that!
Does anyone make a Pro Press zone valve?
Google tells me that Honeywell does make a pro press valve.
Congrats on another long term customer 👍
Great video Mikey! 🏆🏆
Thanks 👍
Keeping it real Mikey Pipes.
Great customer. Some people are a pleasure to work for.
Yes they are!
Was so tired after work I missed out on this epic drop. Watching it now💪🏼👍🏻 thanks for the 30 minute video, that was a great and informative video💯 and I agree get a place in Florida! With great hurricane foundations lol
Hope you enjoyed it!
Here in MA Taco zone valves are all over the place. Lowes and HD even sell replacement powerheads and even complete valves. We also have quite a few of the Bell and Gossett mini zone valves, the ones with the red plastic powerhead that snaps on. Even seen an EK system 2000 that was done with all B&G zone valves, B&G series 100 circulator, and B&G bronze series 100 for DHW. Talk about a mix of new and old technology. There are still plumbers here doing boiler installs with brand new Taco heat motor zone valves and 110-24 circulator. Add in a New Yorker CL3 boiler and you have an installation that's all green.
Great video Mikey
Thank you very much
nice solder job lucky zone valve swap had shut offs above and below the zone valve so easy peasy
BZ (Bravo Zulu) " Navy Speak for, Your the Man",, This kind of Client to Technician interaction is what makes the trades GREAT! WELL DONE my friend!

Using the top of a spray bottle can also work but a 5/8 vinyl tube will prob be easier
You know what that’s a great idea
gracias, great 👍 job.
De nada
Put a supply tube down from the top and hold your thumb over it to syphon the water out of the pipe to get the water out.
You can take a pray bottle with the top and put it inside tube and spray the water out as well. The siphon is better for certain areas
Yeah, that works too but I also like burning it out with the torch
wet vac and a piece of small diameter soft steel tubing works as well (automotive brake line). I've used that setup through open ball valves to suck the water out and replace failed valves. even on city water, where the street curb stop was leaking through slow and inside home valve failed.
you can sweat it on with the steel tubing through the inside, with vac. running and not worry about it getting solder stuck inside, don't use copper, because the flux and solder may wick up to it and get stuck.
Have you tried using the caleffi press Z45P zone valve? They work great especially for a job like that
Nope. I haven’t tried that yet.
I helped daniel and peter get that tank in my house. Very heavy
tell me about it
@@PipeDoctor How much weight we talking about? Never seen one of those tanks before. We have some here around us that are 800lbs plus while empty but they're really big and filled with thermal blocks
Mikey is such as character! Love it!
I love you too. No homo.
nice video, hoping you would have told him about hanging the expansion tank in the right direction.
Great video, I hadn't seen the inside of the honeywell zv body ! Thoughts on the b&g air separator vs the spirovent ? If you get what you pay for then the b&g is 50% better - lol.
I prefer Spiro vent

Hi Mike Do you have to refuse fixing Navian equipment? I don't hear you talking about them. Thanks
We service them daily.
Question. If you cut that out and press something in you then have more fittings and cost down the road or can you cut and split the press fittings to swap a valve like you did?
I wanted to solder the zone valve, then just to show the community that Mikey pipes still knows how to use a B tank and solder
Since you drained some anti freeze out of the system did you have to add more in, didn't see anything in your video
It’s not necessary
I have a hydronic system with an oil-fired boiler in my new (to me) house. Single zone and On demand hot water. Taco 007-F5 circulator on the return. Thermostat is OFF but every baseboard pipe in the house is hot at all times. Boiler only kicks on for a couple minutes once it hits the Min and shuts off when it hits the Max but this is happening every 30mins or less. I cant figure out if its the circulator or something wrong in the Aquastat, I can hear the relay clicking before it fires.
nice when things go rite.. happy customer
You got that right!
Best indirect on the market. Made by Vaughn. Even heavier once kooked up the cement liner absorbs the water.
I actually like Weil McLain
I’ll take a Barker with a Collar any day over a Leaker, Squealer or Squirter. 😬👍
I'll take a squirter over a barker
What’s the best boiler books you have looked at over the years Mikey ??
The ones by Dan Hollihan
Can't tell you how many of those where someone replaced the valve/ end switch just for it to fail because the stem and body needed to be replaced. Always check that stem before just doing the motor/end switch
Me and you both I’ve probably changed 100s of zone valves out because of defective end switches
I'm more of a "zone with circ. pumps" guy, especially in larger setups, or at least do multi-pumps and zone valves in groups(very large systems). why have a single failure point of one pump?
granted a single boiler is a failure point. lol it still makes sense for multiple pumps, worst case you can swap a pump from indirect to 1st floor or 2nd to 1st to keep a home from freezing. assuming no parts stocked or other issues.
Some installers say pumps will last longer on the return side because the water is cooler. I put my pumps on the supply side.
Circulators are always best on a supply side fact
😂 dang blasted zones can be a serious pain! One might be worry free for 5 years but its twin can get arthritis in two years.. you would think Honeywell would all last the same. BUT a question 🙋♂️ how come since you have the tool not use a mega press zone? Mega is longer so can cut the old one out and still have pipe enough to press…
Thanks for posting your feedback
Your CZcams channel encourages Helicoptering, cuz your famous 😆
it's all good
No commercial trucks in left lane. 😂
shut the front door
@@PipeDoctor your to funny 😁
When is your 150,000 subscribers party happening?
I thought so.
As soon as your sister gives birth and loses the weight
Mikey gives me jokes😂
Here’s a joke what do you tell a girl with two black eyes?
How come he didn’t have you install the bosches?
He didn’t know we were in the area
@@PipeDoctorhe was smart to switch to you.
did he get a discount? he did film this video for you
He got hooked up!
Honeywell makes 3/4 female zone valves with 3/4 male /progress adapters
For literally $60 more it’s not worth it
Honeywell makes a conversion ball kit to fix that problem.
My conversion kit = Replace entire valve
These Newer System look a Lot more Sophisticated than the Furnaces of the Past. Don’t see many Boilers here in the Midwest and Thankfully, NO CPVC. 🤪👎
CPVC sucks big giant hairy balls
✌👍
Thank you for the continued support
yummy glycol!
Thank you 😋
Work Work Work Hard to keep a Working man down.
Absolutely love running service calls
'Promo SM'
What the Fuck is that???
First of all Mikey pipes you should be wearing your shoes a piece of hot solder going through your sock. Ain’t gonna feel good. Come on now get it together plus my rule is if you have dogs, I can wear my shoes in your house.
My feet are immune
whats up with that flue piping
What? It works.

Thanks so much Steve for the thumbs up. I appreciate the love and continued support to the channel. Thank you have a great weekend.
