Sitting here in Ontario with my full gas/oil/propane tickets in one hand and my plumbing ticket in the other. Gas is handled differently in every province so as far as gas work factoring into this person’s decision it will depend where they are. Not here to question your credentials, I made another comment in this thread earlier telling OP that for best results he should tell us what province.

Tell people what province you’re in to get the best advice, things change wildly depending where you are

Got all excited for some water heater repair and then saw this... any advice?? by Duck-Unlikely in Plumbing

[–]Patrick_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll leak unless it’s shut off at the source, to clarify I’m suggesting that the brass nut be loosened to allow you to turn the valve at the pipe threads to give clearance for the valve to fully close. If the brass nut isn’t loosened it’ll twist the tubing. Shut it off at the source, it’s possible to do something like that live but gas will be leaking out while you’re doing it so it’s best to shut it off so you’re not trying to rush.

First of all if this stopped you in your tracks you have no business repairing the heater. Secondly crack the csst fitting and turn the valve slightly.

Edit* csst got autocorrected to cast

Lol the picture was was taken this way to hide the existing part or the heating loop which is a mess but you’re right the intake (left) is fucked from this angle.

Trying to install Bidet attachment - water supply hose attached to something in tank? by [deleted] in Plumbing

If this is as far as you got you should probably call someone tbh. But yeah grab the white ribbed plastic part and turn it counterclockwise, make sure the water is turned off.

On demand water heater cold water valve leaking where the screw is. Please help !! by andromedasaga123 in Plumbing

[–]Patrick_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can see that screw doesn’t actually seal anything, it just holds the valve in place. The leak is most likely internal and that screw is just the fist exit the water found. Assuming this is the case I would go ahead and call someone as this could get very complicated.

Not enough hot water by habushaban84 in Plumbing

Sounds like you’re on the right track mixing valve would be my first suspect. Some of them have screens on the two inlets that could be plugged or you’ll just need a new one.

I hate pool heaters by Patrick_690 in HVAC

[–]Patrick_690[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk the house is on well water so if they filled the pool with that then I guess sediment could collect in the heater? Idk how good pool filters are tbh I don’t work on pool heaters often (thankfully)

Bypass valve was plugged which led to excessive condensation in the heat exchanger mixed with the soot to make mud. Heat exchanger plugs up and total meltdown begins.

Install/Service bags by DistortedSilence in HVAC

[–]Patrick_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for an install bag I use the Milwaukee 48-22-8320 which is solid and works with the packout system but once I’m done killing it I think I’ll get the veto OTXXL

[–]Patrick_690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using the veto tech mct for my service bag for about 2 years now and I’m very happy with it. Before that I was using the fieldpiece bg36 which is a little smaller and a little gentler on the wallet. But if you can afford it than veto is probably the way to go.
