Добавлен 24 май 2023
This channel was created to give viewers insight into the day-to-day challenges a fire sprinkler service technician faces. It's also a place for other sprinkler fitters to share ideas on products and techniques. I hope this channel inspires someone to consider the fire sprinkler trade. Fire sprinkler systems are life-safety devices and shall only be serviced by a licensed sprinkler contractor. Please do not use any of this content as information on how to service sprinkler systems.
I started in this trade in 1999 working in a shop fabricating pipe and making deliveries for a sprinkler contractor. After 8 months I began a five year apprenticeship with Local 669. Around 2004, I got out of the sprinkler trade for three years and was reinitiated back in to the trade in 2007 and finished my apprenticeship in 2008. In 2018 I passed the Fire Sprinkler Mastery certification. What I have learned the most is how much I still have to learn.

Robbing a Bee Hive

This is my first year as a bee keeper. I bought an established hive and made a split from it. I started a new hive from a nucleus. Then I had a hive given to me. I now have a total of four hives.
Replacing Sprinkler Heads
Просмотров 443Месяц назад
Replacing a few standard response sprinkler heads that are over 50 years old. It's cheaper to replace than test. NFPA 25 requires standard response heads to be sample tested or replaced after 50 years. Tired of dealing with stacks of paperwork or fillable PDF forms after every inspection? Yeah, me too. That's why I'm partnering with Inspect Point to show you how it's making my job much easier -...

My First Time Installing a Micro-Air EasyStart 368
I just got mine UPS today. I plan on installing it soon. Thanks for the video. How's your working out now that you've used it for a while?
@@terrythurman5869 Knock on wood, it hasn’t given me any problems. Works great.
Where did all your old Fire videos go? I wanted to watch some again. Did something happen?
Was coming here to ask the same thing. I always found them interesting.
I just ordered one. Can't wait to install it. I was an auto mechanic for 32 years so I think that I can figure it out. Just got out of a four day power outage. I have a Westinghouse WGen9500DF.
What happened to all your other sprinkler videos? They were great. As a fire alarm tech I really enjoyed getting to see the other side.
Brings back memories of the first time I extracted honey many years ago when I was a teenager. It was in Mom's kitchen, and add 2 german shorthair pointers and stray straggler bee's. Great video
Just installed 2 Flex units and one catastrophically failed after 2 days. At least one big capacitor blew and created condensation inside. It caused the compressor to violently shake as it still tried to start it. Anyone else have this happen?? Support confirmed a failed capacitor. Why did it keep trying to start the unit and stress the compressor??
Same thing happened to me today. Flex unit blew two small capacitors. Support just sending new unit. No reason for why this happened .

Very cool sir!!! looking forward to seeing the actual removal from the hive.
Nice video Dr! I'll buy a jar off ya :)
YUMMY STUFF!
Don't you love when you knock something on the ground and even though it should be right there it actually went all the way to China
Good video... HERM means hermetically sealed.. In other words, your compressor...
Can you link all of the connectors you used?
This thing is B.S. and junk. They all are. It does NOT reduce anything. Using $50 clamp meters to measure modified sinewaves which fools the meter, and thinking the same motor with the same torque load on it now runs on one quarter of the current, is the findings of a fool.
Un curso porfavor
Obviously your unit is about wore out hi amps n capacitor all old the generator people should of put that on there when installed
is that the proper head wrench ;)
I put a link in the description if you want to learn more about Inspect Point. Thanks for watching!
Nice video Doc!
That's some intuitive software you're using 😏
Can't wait for my company to make the switch, pen and paper is getting old!
@@quinkelley1134 Hang in there, we feel your pain. Tell your company we're ready when they are 💪
😊👍🏻
Good install. I've had one for a couple years that I installed on a 4-ton Goodman. Installation instructions were very straightforward. Tested with my Duromax 13000 EH (10,500) portable generator and it works very well. Using a portable for whole-house is another topic. Micro-Aire does have excellent customer support through Hutch Mountain if you have any questions regarding install for your particular unit, and although the app seems limited (connection and live data only accessible during call for cooling), if you send diagnostic data they are right on it. I also enjoyed the screw drop response; happens to the best of us. You did everything right (for a fire sprinkler tech haha. Don't be so hard on yourself). Good call with the cap discharge and terminal cleaning. For everyone reading, you need to purchase a replacement capacitor. I have replaced mine (and a backup) and it is very easy, cheap, and they DO fail (probably the first component to fail). If you are doing this install, just go ahead and replace your Start/Run cap at the same time. I noticed that you have an outdoor home surface that prevents this, but as a side note if some of you have siding/framework to attach the EasyStart to on the house, this might be better for at least three reasons: 1. vibration from the condenser unit 2. if you need to replace your condenser, this EasyStart is not attached to it (OOPS! forgot about that soft-start). Just need to run some seal-tite and possibly extra conductors from the condenser panel to the wall where the unit is attached. For me, the included cord was run through seal-tite and the conductors were plenty long enough. 3. you can view the indicator lights on the unit in case of fault through the clear plastic cover that is attached to the wall, rather than hidden. This may be helpful for some in case there is an issue. This case is waterproof (do not open), and it really will not be better protected whilst trying to fit it into the electrical enclosure for your condenser. And that can be a pain in the butt all by itself. Not necessary to fit this large unit on the condenser itself, as long as you ensure waterproof conductor installation. Another side note for those with older condenser compressors with suspect terminals at the pecker (S, R, C), I used a kit that works very well for this purpose, and I recommend it. Also requires good cleaning of what's left of your terminals if they are degraded. Hope this helps some: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TFK4587/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also, always clean your condenser coils by shield disassembly and regular hose pressure from inside out once a year!
Likely the highest area for a potential fire so you don't flood the whole building in the event of a more likely fire.
isn't that a redundant system? If the other sprinklers fail this will still work?
Nows time to run a hose off that, overhead gerbal feeder water tube
Wires touching the metal pipe wouldn't pass in my area.
Mine either
Probably has to do with whats directly under it and them initially not wanting it wet unless the building is hit by a plane
They were under strict instructions not to bring back extra material.
Past Chemical shower area?
Yeah in a post office you know when they have to handle those nasty boxes😂😂
Thank you for making this 💯
Sound like they maybe had some issues with potentially breaking that head in the past. No flow switch or drain lol. Not considered a system. If you had to shut one head off you’re getting very wet.
Thanks ! Helped a lot !
Or the sprinkler main pipe to building is completely filled with sediment. Can cause water to slowly fill the system but it won't fill quickly. Seen once.
This looks familiar :)
are there any downsides to using this micro air soft start?
Best thing I ever installed. I installed right before hurricane Ian in 2022 and was able to run whole house 3 ton unit. My advice would be to change capacitor and contactor while you are in there and you will be good for many years. This saves your unit from pre mature failures and the A/C companies hate it. Nice video!
This is exactly what I did this past weekend. The HVAC system is about 12 years old and I also have a backup generator. Having tested the A/C on generator last year, the current draw is w/in limits of the gen set, but you can hear the RPM is pulled down on startup. Ordered the soft-start and also updated the contactor (per AS/Trane). Replaced the capacitor with the appropriate size one from AmRad (through an Amazon market place dealer). Installed the replacement parts first to make sure it's all running then installed the soft start kit. In-rush current dropped (after initialization process) from ~81A to ~24A. Runs very quiet too. Also while I had it opened up, washed down the coils. It's expensive, but I think it will really pay off in the long-run with the life of the compressor and when on backup power.
