Nice work Steve. And good of you to explain the process to the homeowner and reminding him about the carbon monoxide detectors.
I agree it sounds like he just moved into the home
"Carbon Monoxide previously detected"
No Fear When Lav is There.. The Mobile Supply House Lol Great Fix Steve.,
It's all about communication.
That is a skill in itself.
Needs a little more how ya doin, momma! She's only got 12 pounds! Should have added in a ball valve so the tank could be an easy change out next time. Those tanks are garbage, last about 2 years tops, made in china junk these days...
Good job there Steven you got that guy straightened out
Thank you for your videos, Steve!! They've been very helpful for me as I've been going through my apprenticeship!
I always put a date on replaced parts, later you can see I was there on that date,
The relief valve will start leaking next week 😂😂😂
Steve you’re the best service guy I’ve ever seen!
2:55 "Like a boiled egg", hahah
Another great video Steve! 😎👌👍☝️
Steve, I felt your excitement of using that brand new RapidGrip wrench. They seem like they might slip off the nut just by looking at it, but you used it like a pro. Thanks for teaching us
Customer service is the name of the game. Awesome job!
gas fired circulated hot water is a real mystery to most people i like it
Good job!
Another good service job
U 'da guru at the top of the mountain sir!
Another great job.
I wish I had Steve in my area.
Steve found the new thin pipe wrenches from Pipe Vise! 👍👍
FYI fellow fans of Steve's videos please read my whole comment it may help you. I recently had a dripping relief valve so I knew to check the expansion tank (thanks to Steve's videos). When I checked it it read zero but I was curious as to why wasn't water coming out schraeder valve if in fact the internal diaphragm had failed. If the diaphragm failed water would now be occupying the space the air charge should be and it should shoot out the schraeder valve when it's depressed but none did. Long story short its not the diaphragm failing on these tanks its a tiny o-ring type seal on the schraeder valve core that fails allowing the 12 psi air precharge to escape and now there's no air cushion left to allow water expansion so relief valve will leak. I removed the shredder core and replaced it with one from a spare car tire and refilled the 12 psi with an air compressor problem solved. You can get schraeder valve at tire shops or even a bicycle if need be. Saved me the hassle and expense of a new tank when all it needed was a shraeder core. You'll need to have some additional knowledge on how to purge the boiler after replacing the relief valve. Steve says once they leak they have to be changed he's right in my case because it still leaks a little even though the pressure in the boiler is no longer exceeding the 30psi limit. Either way I did all the above just from memory of seeing Steve perform these steps over the years. Hope the schraeder valve tip helps someone because that tank is on TIGHT so tight the whole boiler was lifting when I was initially trying to remove it prior to coming up with the schraeder valve fix.
12:49 hey ma ,what year is it?😂🤣😅
Howdy Steve and Molly
Good job Steve.
Nice one.
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
Good job.
Hello Steve!
Thx. Liked.
The Amigo XL wrench in action momma! When I saw that new wrench from Pipe Vise I thought this would be perfect for changing out expansion tanks. Steve’s next level!! I hope you like it.
kinda pricey .. not worth the money
Really Steve you dont the like the pipevise? I love them!!

Time for a new mah ka 12:49
ware is the diverter extractor on the new Symones tool? thanks guys.
👍
Steve do those Expansion tanks come pre charged? I did not see you check the pressure in the new one you installed? What should the pressure be in the tank equal to incoming water pressure? Thanks!
they come pre charged at about 12 lbs
steve, would changing 3/4" baseboard to 1" baseboards be worth the btu increase? no room to add more baseboard. thanks.
I mean you dropped pressure, why not change that rusty hyvent on top of the boiler and changing that feeder to a new taco couldve helped
I had a question if you have a video
Of how to fix the bathroom room sink faucet it runs the water 💦
To slow buddy

Can I check the pressure of the expansion tank under normal operation or do I need to drain my boiler 1st? I'm experiencing this exact scenario with my Burnham oil burner with my circulator pump running constantly. I changed the high vent and little by little air is coming out of my system. It was previously leaking nonstop. Thanks
drain the boiler first then check the pressure
OK thank you
Hey Steve, how do you know if you need an expansion tank? I'd guess if the hot water pipes dont have leaks, a guy should be ok.
if the relieve is leaking .... most lucky the tank is bad and building pressure in boiler
@steven lavimoniere PLUMBING HEATING & AC hey thank's. I'd like to see you do another video on your 318's and 430's
Yo lav do you have to air charge xpansion tank ????
They come pre charge
Steve, I know this is not question and answer time, but watching videos and a bit of reading I have heard expansion tanks are not supposed to be mounted threads up my boiler has been like it is for 30 plus years first should I replace it? And what are your feelings on it? Be left mounted the way it is?
i dont think it matters ...if its working leave it alone
Stock up on filters before they are on back order, and tanks, tanks will rust , and bio diesel has high salt content. Ethanol attracts water, causing rust and issues.. look into testing Ethanol content, you do it by adding water, creating a layer, look it up you'd enjoy it. Oh bio diesel is more money, the grain grown is worth more than the diesel it makes, most is made out of canola, it's a government funded project, causing more pollution, think of the fuel being burned to grow the grain. Its one big shit show moma
Why change the tank altogether? Why not drain down & re-charge it? Schraeder valves cost pennies
The rubber diaphragm is ruptured
@@donhorn548 If that was the case Steve would've had his pressure gauge full of water when he checked for charge. Not the case
Where did the air go?
The schrader valves corrode and rust solid. Go out and check a few of them. Become a real expert.
@@TheWeekendGamerz into the water
Does anyone else spend the whole video copying Steve’s accent?
Dude is unemployed for some BS reason. Unless he’s independently wealth, no excuse to not work at his age.
