- our journey kicks off with a seemingly routine task-replacing a thermostatic Danfoss valve for a baseboard loop. Dive into the intricacies of this replacement, understanding the importance of precision and attention to detail in ensuring optimal system performance.
As the day unfolds, we transition to a more complex task-rebuilding a leaking condensate pump for a commercial steam boiler. Witness the meticulous process of disassembling, repairing, and reconstructing this vital component. Gain insights into the troubleshooting skills required to identify and address the source of the leak, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the condensate pump.
The narrative reaches its climax with the installation of a roof-top unit inducer motor. Explore the challenges and triumphs of this rooftop endeavor, a task that requires not only technical expertise but also adaptability to varying conditions.
Through this storytelling, my goal is to provide viewers with a firsthand experience of the diverse challenges encountered in the HVAC profession. Whether you're a seasoned professional seeking relatable experiences or an enthusiast eager to understand the intricacies of the field, this video promises an engaging and educational journey through the complexities of "Short Cycling Steam Boiler Condensate Pump Rebuild."

Hey man you doing alright?? I hope the family is well been missing your videos!
RUclips isn’t the same without you😭please come back
How come you are not posting more videos? I love your videos
How the heck are you not an actor? It's insane how good you are on camera. Love the videos, love the knowledge.
The glazing is crazy
Where r u? Hope everything is alright with the bb
Friendly advice
Get some good sockets set. Will be easier with those bolts😊
Ugh. It’s been too long since the last video! Where ya at???
I think we need to take up a fund for the purchase of a few tools, like maybe sockets. Could really speed up this process! 🤠👍
Yea I’d say his job would do well to have a simple socket set. Maybe two, 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch sets. Or sockets and a cordless impact just to zip some bolts off. Something that could fit into his pack.
If you carry a flat file you can and I do grind the tip as a gasket/machinist scraper which also works great for burr removal and (laid flat across the surface and moved in a circular motion by your palm) cleaning and flattening old gasket faces.
Tip I invented when rebuilding my well pump: The rotor was seriously stuck on the shaft so I cut it (away from the steel rotor hub of course) then used a knotted wire wheel on my cordless angle grinder to brush off the remaining plastic quickly and easily leaving a nice shiny hub to grab with visegrips. I've also brushed off plastic power steering pump pulleys to replace them with steel using the same method. It's quick and clean. I install 6" angle grinder guards on my 4-1/2" cordless to use the VASTLY better 6" thin kerf cutting discs which have deeper reach and faster edge speed, either by finding a matching guard or cutting and welding one from two guards. Either way is well worth it or you can spend more on a 6" cordless but for light work smaller grinders are fine.
I get most use out of knotted cup style wire brushes. I Loctite my pump bolts because Loctite also excludes moisture counterintuitively acting as anti-seize.
Missing your videos man! Hope you come back soon
These videos are great, keep it up bro
I'm thinking he is enjoying his time with a newborn baby.. alot to do on its own, let alone making videos!
Anyone know where he went? Was posting everyday and just stopped.
If you’re looking for a good boiler mechanic to learn something, I think you should check out the Boiler Heroes channel. He’s a great teacher. And he posted something new every day.
Nope
Just had a kid probably busy haha
@@joshmercer6683 Absolutely! I just miss his videos and he was posting after he announced the birth of his baby but suddenly stopped. I have 2 kids myself and completely understand that newborn stage.
Hope to see his videos again soon. Take care.
So where are you at hope all is well
Are you not looking at your comments bud? Could you let us know your OK?
I’m ok brother, just exhausted with the new baby and having a hard time right now finding time to edit. Will be back soon, thank you for reaching out 👊🏻
@@theapprenticesurvivalguide I'm glad your fine! Take all the time then
Good work! Maybe get yourself some socket wrenches. I would also suggest to the Building owner/ Site manager to put some pipe insulation on those steam pipes.
OK what’s going on I need your videos. I love your videos you used to do them every day. What’s going on? It’s back in Minnesota signed big cat, Matt, soft and warm for quiet storm.
Frick yeah I just finished my boilers class, this is exactly what I’ve been wanting to see!
Take caution when installing those mechanical pumps seals. Try NOT to touch the mating surfaces (the white part) any contaminates, or oils (hand oils) will stop the rotating seal from mating up properly with the stationary part of the seal..👍
Getting the old gaskets off can be a pain.. if you’re careful I like to use a wire wheel to clean the surfaces especially if you’re rebuilding like you did!
3M makes gasket removal discs which work nicely.
I love your channel and content keep up the great work 😃
Great videos! How did you become so so knowledgeable at such a young age?
yo! lol we need more videos you doing okay man?
Nicely done!
👍🤙
Ah I had a short cycle issue last week too. Had a wonky limit switch. Today I had to fix something left over from a guy who knows a guy...... no wonder it didn't work, igniter assembly wasn't hooked up to the smart valve.
don't you also check the motor bearings? not to be worn due to rust
Anti sieze on the gasket faces, comes off easy next time. Nice job!
Man I thought I worked in some shit holes. These buildings are rough!
You need some more specific tools and some anitseize
Antiseize makes the next job MUCH easier.
Waht name does your job have
It’s so frustrating. You can’t use the good stuff anymore… (asbestos) 😅
That boiler isn’t taken care of very good must not have a licensed operator. In Mn we have we are licensed from the State
yes People can died if you don't know what your doing
wya........
Oh man.. I see you now have scammers pretending to be you in the comments now trying to get people to use a phony number to text them...
Hey bro just so your aware people would rather see you working rather then your face talking at us ..like close up shit ...
