I was going to say 9 buckets thinking the system seriously flooded. The education the homeowners recieved is beyond value. They also seemed like real good people . Hat tip on finding that 1950's permit...love seeing old items like that
House I sold in Whitestone in 21, 1927 build...1929 permit Coal to oil & buried tank permit, 1939 Garage build permit, 1970 Oil to Gas permit (drain tank, sand fill abandoned).
Such informative episode. Most homeowners have no idea how such important and expensive equipment works, and the annual maintenance requirements requirement
If you use a rebuilt control it should be rebuilt by original manufacture or you will lose the UL rating. Also the switches on them used to be replaceable. And the lower switch will make before the upper switch breaks so that it will feed water before it cuts off on low water.
Good job Mike, Yeah, I was going to say that double switch is seem suspicious, like it was there to shut off the low water valve or refill valve, one or the other, but you can use a ice cube relay or 24 volt contactor to modify the circuit or update the equipment, I like your Trump hat on the dash board.
The steam is going out into the system during on cycle and not returning until the off cycle. When theres a long on cycle the boiler water level gets low and the system autofills. When the boiler is in the off cycle alll the water returns including the excess and therefore it is overfilled. Diagnosing why this happens is where the real skill is involved?
7:12 + you're not even seeing the tips of the flame, so you cannot say "yellow tips", what you're seeing is dust and air contaminates being burnt off in the flame, which has a more distinct flickering and uneven orange color flame starting and ending at random heights. you'd have to remove the access panel and look up higher at the actual top of flames to judge it properly, but even then that much airborne contaminates burning off is near impossible to see and judge the flame. 🤓 not trying to bust bawlz, but help improve all.
Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. I like your podcast/social media, looking thru some comments.I guess of your some customers still in on you. Hmm, cast iron boiler? You know back in the day, dealing with most women. I would be replacing that old rust bucket for a new rust bucket. lol. Love you buddy, might sound a little queer again. Jolly good show old boy, God save the King.

The Wiha piece sounds like a versatile tool, it might come in handy when working on steam heat equipment
Wow a permit from 1955 on the wall still. Way to educate the home owners. Think im going to get me some tags and lable the valves at the house.
Great idea
I never thought about needing a furnace switch specifically for steam heat, the one they recommended seems reliable

You could add a contractor with a 127 Volt coil to control the 24v circuit. They cost about 30$
Wow, I never knew there was so much to learn about steam heat in New York City!
Happy to help!

Thanks
Another beautiful video, going to use all this knowledge to school my next customer with a steam boiler
Sounds great!
Keep up the good work Mikey Pipes. God Bless.
Thanks, you too!
If you use a rebuilt control it should be rebuilt by original manufacture or you will lose the UL rating. Also the switches on them used to be replaceable. And the lower switch will make before the upper switch breaks so that it will feed water before it cuts off on low water.
This video seems really informative, Im excited to watch it and expand my knowledge
Thanks so much
Ive heard great things about the Milwaukee M Blower, might consider adding that to my toolbox

Little homeowner interaction with hydronic
You could still do a overview
8
67 lwco can be 24 or 120 volt
Correct
Im curious to see how the HIKMICRO B is used in dealing with steam heat
It’s the B20 thermal camera
Have you liked the wohler analyzer so far? Or still rocking the 320 primarily love the channel have made me a way better tech
Still rocking the 320
I may have missed, and the lady asked why was the boiler overfilled, I don't think you have a reason.
7 buckets 🪣 stream bolier

The steam is going out into the system during on cycle and not returning until the off cycle. When theres a long on cycle the boiler water level gets low and the system autofills. When the boiler is in the off cycle alll the water returns including the excess and therefore it is overfilled. Diagnosing why this happens is where the real skill is involved?
5 buckets at least! Water coming out the radiator that’s quite a lot, not a full 5 gallon bucket
6
Did you determine why it overfilled?
Homeowner error
Did the issue with the ignition system get resolved?
During tuneup it will
$5 permit. Wow, have times changed.
Who would have thought that a $5 permit would be considered a relic of the past? I guess we'll be reminiscing about this in the future!
7 buckets is my guess.
Close

Okay 👌
8.5 buckets?

The old girl needs TLC and maintenance that it has never had in the past…at least we know the boiler is intact from the high water level 🤷♂️
Yup. True indeed. She’s NOT a leaker ;)
