Mine have outlasted all of our Testo 550s at the shop. I think I got them around 2010 ish? I only used them once this year, I'm kind of paranoid that they could be out of calibration. No evidence...

What brand dehumidifier did you use?

What brand floor heat piping and manifolds did you use?

This... is the weirdest install I've ever seen

This is the best post I've seen on here in a long time, thank you!
As for your Veto bag, the zipper on my Tech LC was not working so I gave it a little squeeze with my channel lock pliers on each...

I had a call this week from a builder saying one of our RTUs is leaking. This is the third project we've done with them in 2 years that they've said one of our units are leaking. So far the first 2...

Wow... I have never seen someone stack draft hoods on top of each other like that. Also that single wall vent connector would need 6" clearance to combustibles here.

Noticed this furnace in a house the other day.

Tell me about it. We are reinstalling ductwork into 11 2 storey shafts next week (22 riser ducts) because the shafts were were constructed wrong. The drywall trade forcefully removed all the ducts...

Wow quick thinking.

A lot of times you will see great mechanical install work and an electrician comes behind them and slaps in the wire in the fastest, cheapest way possible. The fact that you have an electrician that...

Great work. My favorite part of this installation is the clean looking electrical conduit.

Wow, nice work!

Definitely an NTI Combi. They capped the domestic connections at the boiler and tied the system into an indirect. What a waste.

I doubt the shark bite seals would hold up to refrigerant for very long.

I like the 2x6 frame idea, it looks sharp!

That's funny, in our area if we use a gas flex connecter on a furnace we get a defect. A few years ago I sat down with the inspector for our area to go over why you can't use them and the best we...

Our electricians use these all the time but their magnet is a ball type. It works good for insualted walls.

All of our techs use the DL389. We've never seen this issue before but thanks, it's something to keep in mind.

Don't be surprised if Viega comes out with a refrigerant propress system. They already have systems in place for natural gas.

I would have disconnected, capped, and red tagged as is required when you find an unsafe situation that the homeowner will not allow you to repair. Regardless of the homeowner's 'opinion', you are...

That's disgusting on a whole other level. I'm surprised they don't have a cracked heat exchanger.

Our competition soft solders all their linesets, they seem to be doing just fine with it. We have had to repair a couple cracked solder joints on their work. It always seems to crack in the same...

I just can't believe they spilled primer all over the front of the furnace like that...

:grin2: That's awesome!

Whoever soldered that did an amazing job! The condensate should be revised, however. You shouldn't use copper on condensate drains. Also while it's hard to tell, where the drain transitions to...

We have 5 of them, all are nice to work out of. The problems we have with them is there are no mechanics that can work on them in our area so it is quite expensive to repair them. Another problem...

Awesome!

Its sad that where I live that doesn't even crack my top ten!

Wow old thread. We ended up buying one.

Someone stole our Rigid 300 from a site 3 months ago. That hurt a lot :(

I'm sold on the 36 volt Bosch sawzall, it's just like using a corded one. We have several that get used all the time and not a single issue. I used to have a dewalt cordless that sucked and powered...

Most of us take our vans home but a couple techs live in rural areas 40 minutes away. Solution, anyone?

They inflate and deflate, but when they deflate they don't look bad. We did 2- 34"x170' Blue, still look great 2 years later.
I didn't see how you have those ones hung, just looking to see how...

We have an '05 and '07 both get around 21 mpg, 1 is high roof , narrow wheel base and 1 is extra high roof, wider wheel base, bigger engine. Starting to get a little rust at the base of the doors,...

I always use the cheap ones because they're light. I was pressured into buying the expensive gel ones for 60 bucks and they lasted 2 days. They're so heavy that they just slide down all the time.

In our sprinters, you can't open the gas cap door without opening the driver door.

Is anyone using these or magnabends? Are they any good?

http://www.bii1.com/sheet-metal-equipment/bending-brakes/bb-4816m.php

not finding much on them, but on my tests the only valves that were detailed were combi gas valves (quite extensively), SSOV's, gas train assemblies for larger appliances, etc. Maybe someone's using...

On the other hand, one of the better pranks we pulled...

We were driving back and forth to a project every day, me and another journeyman in one vehicle, our 2 helpers in the other vehicle. They...

Our good journeymen are and were always great for those original pranks and fun things that aren't hurtful but like everyone said there's always one. Hope you don't end up with that person.

That...

Yeah, thanks for the head up I forgot where we were posting... :o

I wasn't saying there is no chance of CO poisoning with a hydronic forced air system, I was saying that there is no chance of having a heat exchanger going unchecked and eventually opening up enough...

No worries about CO from cracked heat exchanger, just a water leak.

lol, had the same problem today on a VLT FC1000. There are 2 side by side, 1 for makeup air unit, 1 for exhaust. I didn't have time to go through it, we got home late as it is. I'm going up to...

Awesome, made my night! I'm stealing this to show the guys at work. :grin2:

::DD:

Do the controls manufacturers offer their in house training courses to anyone who wants to pay the fee to learn how to service their equipment or just to their territory branches?

We always take ours to the corral, even in blizzards. It's one of those things that annoys me when they are left out. I remember seeing a cart rip across the parking lot and ding a newer vehicle at...

It was -18C (0F) and I'm outside in my t-shirt and pj pants looking for whoever was trying the door handle. I didn't see anyone, I suppose something could have fallen over in the van and set off the...
