That run cap was bulged and failed. I installed a new dual cap and aced the bang sticks, I left the 5-2-1 in the system

They even gave the fan a small “bang stick”

Oscillating multi tool probably would work well

A friend sent me this picture

That's probably less than 20 miles from JKopp

A 3 ton condenser is probably the size of a car

I wonder if he found out the hard way

I didn't see a stamp and they have a lot of paint on them. Funny how your first guess where he works is correct. He's a firefighter at an oil refinery. But this was done long before he bought the...

Fergusons plumbing counter guy said they may have been old steam fittings but he wasn't sure.

Are these legal gas fittings? I've never seen them before.

He probably used tape/dope combo

Thanks for info, I've just always heard never use white Teflon on gas and didn't know why. I thought maybe natural gas or the additives disintegrated it and that's why it wasn't allowed. Every time I...

Spa had already been abandoned, so I cracked the unions and plugged the tee, hard piped out of furnace, added sediment trap, hand operable gas shutoff, and new flex (earthquake requirement).

New homeowner had me for a clean and check of the furnace, found that the previous homeowners piped off the dedicated furnace gas line for a spa heater. They used every fitting they could get their...

It's so easy you can do it in your sleep, you didn't even change out of your pajamas.

Two 3 ton air handlers w/ 5 ton condenser

I was on a roof looking at an exhaust fan and saw these.

Here's a random internet picture of what this furnace normally looks like

Plenty of combustion air in the closet, however that field fabbed metal plate doesn't allow any to the burners.

Doing a plumbing/heating inspection for a potential home buyer this past summer I ran into this. Not sure what the issue the seller was trying to fix here. Possibly flame roll out?

If you're doing system replacement, always install a/c first so you have cold air in the attic while doing ductwork.

I like the companies that come up with new wording to baffle the customer into buying a new system.

Better than the others on the roof I guess

Saw this today

Always good to self report

Bought from Ikea? Some assembly required!

Maybe the manufacturer uses them to hold two sticks of pipe together for transport is why blue caps are on one thread only. When distributor receives them they spin the pipes apart and whichever pipe...

I wonder who they send out- maintenance tech, service tech, or sales tech

$19 tune up

If you use gas flex, might as well stick with gas reducers

Looks like they brought their pet beaver to work that day. Had him gnaw out the holes.

This was found on plumbing zone

Was a condensing furnace hooked up to it?

I wouldn't know anything about that

Is that a rubber one for plumbing vents? On the ridge and looks like transite, no good.

I'm not sure if it was specified, either way you can't run that crap for a bathroom fart fan let alone a gas range/oven exhaust.

He ended up firing the the "contractor" and paid me to install 7" KD instead of that flex. When we pulled it we found he cut a 2x12 or 14 supporting the upstairs

Neighbors asked me if their contractor was doing a good job. This is their oven fan duct.

I spent the last two days on another job, going back tomorrow and I'll buff it out and see what happens.

I am the boss, we're a two man shop

We installed all three

No, I think that is a reflection of the red disconnect handle

Commercial, bank of 3 condensers

Yes

Thanks, I'll give it a shot

Kneeling down brazing and lifted the torch what I thought was high enough to make an adjustment on the Rubitex with my other hand, this happened.

We use ABS in my area, seems like east coast uses PVC primarily

Bacon wrapped jalapeños

Install the mini split and on the real hot days hang a sheet of plexiglass over the openings to so the cool air doesn't leave as quick. You'll still have the view and cost a lot less than windows.

Don't put the batteries in anything of value, they tend to leak acid. As far as power tools go, I figure if I get one job out of it it paid for itself. I bought the metal cutoff chop saw for $90.00...
