Recently subscribed to your channel. My question is if you keep combustion analyzer and inferred cameras or any expensive digital tools over night at the truck ? I live in MD and used to have Bacharach insight plus which typically I was changing O2 sensor and Co sensor every 2 years however it stop working and have error for all sensor even they are brand new and Bacharach want to charge for diagnostic which it may end it up more expensive than new one . Any advice or recommendations beside bring all the expensive tools inside the house every night! Keep it up . Thanks for contents .
Customer is going to regret not listening to your pitch to put radiant in the sitting area. I understand this is supplemental heat and would question if there is a thermal brake beneath the pex. I have a kitchen with underfloor (btwn joists) and a poured den with 3/4 pex sitting on closed cell foam, best rooms, nothing like it. Looking forward to progress vids.
Just a few comments on an otherwise nice installation: - For a more even heat distribution, you better lay the tubing in a meander way. - Pex is alright, but multilayer tubing is much better and easier to lay. - Space between tubes should be no more than 3 inches. - The way you attach the tubing looks like how it was made 40 years ago in my part of the world. Are there no more modern fastening methods in the US available than this?
@@PipeDoctor I am an architect and civil engineer. Yes, with a heat pump you want a spacing of 3" max in most situations. Especially in poorly insulated older houses. You want to run high water volumes and a low temperature delta. Ideally you never reach 90 degrees in a properly done radiant heat system even in below 0 temps. This can only be achieves this way. We install radiant heating even with 2 inch spacing overhere in Germany in bathrooms sometimes. Diameter and type of tube also come into play here. Also, we generally install the tubing as a meander, not just back and forth. A meander way allows for more even temperature saturation throughout the serviced loop.
@@PipeDoctor I've heard some claim it doesn't work well, but it seems like it would work just as well. I really like the idea, if nothing else, having the hard floors warmed. I like my AC really cold, ~66º but that can make stepping on the bathroom tile floor kind of a harsh shock first thing in the morning.
Shouldn’t run pipe in an attic.You should know better,attics are cold and will freeze.If that unit in the attic goes down on a bitter cold nite those hydronic lines freeze you will have water leaking in the worst place possible.And You talk about all the hack jobs you see
Nice, quality install. The attention to detail is noticed!👍
Sweet Job. I’ve never had the opportunity to work on one of those.
I was thinking the same thing. I was always told to keep the radiant piping 12” away from toilet flange so wax ring does not melt.

Routing tubing too close to toilet flange will melt wax ring seal. Nice job guys!
I think the toilet is moving across the room.
@@ericwotton2046 Mine does that sometimes, l swear!
How come you didn't do rough plumbing first before radiant
What are they pouring lit weight concrete over the pipes
I was wondering the same
cant wait to see the vid on the re rough in🪠

doesnt running the tubing too close to the toilet cause sweating on the vitreous china?
Is this oxygen barrier pipe? How much temperature and psi it can handle?
Mikey in ur opinion what's better pex a or b
Sweet install
Is that one long loop as your walking in? What's the max loop length? It used to be between 250 and 300 back when I was doing radiant.
Do you ever install radiant under carpet?

Laying the pipe
Deja vu?

👍
Another great video ,lets go bosch

It's gonna be supplemental until he realizes how much better it is. Then the forced air will become supplemental. Nice shit.
