Hey Fritz, Great video buddy, you and Ray were getting it done. Haven't tried the White Castle's yet, we have Krystal here, their evil twin,LOL. IF they're like the Krystal in carb count, don't check your sugar afterwards for a while. Been gone awhile, computer would not let me view or post in youtube. Got me a new laptop that is great. Tell your Mom and Sarge Hi, hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving. Bankruptcy discharge came through, so time to make some money again. Take care.

[Nutintoitbut2doit]

Great video Fritz, good call on the vent I've had to eat crow a few times lol. 

[fritzhvac]

@Nutintoitbut2doit Hey Brother !!!

The Service call was not a VENT Issue,(pump failure) just was lucky to find it !!!

Me and Ray were talking at the Furnace and a small drop of Water hit me, time to investigate !!!

My investigation uncovered a tiny leak, further investigation revealed,90 not seated correctly !!!

That is when I went into getter dun right mode !!!

I HATED to post this,i'm about Quilty Work,but i'm a Honest man too and I wanted to show the Real World !!!

[compdude957]

Hey Fritz! You and Ray did a nice job installing that new condensate pump and fixing that flue pipe! Looks like everything turned out real good! Awesome video man! 

[fritzhvac]

@compdude957 Hey Brother !!!

Sorry I didn't directly comment back !!!

Thank You so much my Friend , Ray and I had a Great time gettin Her Up and Runnin again !!!

Had a Really Good Visit too !!!

Thank You so much for all your Great Comments all the Time !!!

I really do Appreciate it !!!

[compdude957]

@fritzhvac That's alright its hard for me at times to get back to someone right away, i understand.

Your Welcome! I enjoy watching your videos!

[loudogg50000]

I wonder if the acidic condensate is compatible with the pump lube?

[fritzhvac]

@loudogg50000 Thats a Good Question !!!

We have been utilizing these Pumps for Years , from our Distributors , im pretty sure they would not sell the Product if it had a Big Failure rate due to acidic condensate , it would not be feasable to them to have them coming Back !!!

I believe just plain ole Mechancal Failure !!!

Thank You for the Great Question !!!

[BYENZER]

Fritz:

When cutting broken piece ends off of PVC/ABS in tight places, there's a tool available at plumbing supplies that chucks up to a drill and looks like a small 1" diameter circular saw blade on the end of a long shaft. Insert the tool down the pipe and cut it off from the inside-out. Also, when cutting PVC/ABS with a sawzall, give yourself a cut line guide around the pipe. Wrap a string tightly around pipe and draw a line next to the string. Really helps.

[fritzhvac]

@BYENZER Hey my Friend !!!

Thank You for the Great Tool Tip , I love anything that makes my Job Easier !!!

I have a Mutimaster , which can work Miracles but I burned up my Last Blade on my New Staircase I built , and like a Big Dummy I didn't immediately replace !!!

I will look into that tool Brother !!!

95% of the time i'm cuttin 2" , got me a Milwaukee Lopper , man she cuts Perfectly with no Shavings , I love that bad Boy !!!

Thank You so much for the Great Comment and Tips !!!

[TheOldkid888]

Hey Fritz;

Awesome video again Fritz!!!

Great job on the refit on the pipiing friend! Mighty tight quarters for sure.

I think Ray was mighty content on the meal there too!

Major difference in the other pump Fritz as well! I am a true believer of "you only get what you pay for". Although it took me a number of years to reach that point.

Have a great weekend!!! Al

[fritzhvac]

@TheOldkid888 Hey Al !!!

How you doin my Friend !!!

Man it was tighter than Dicks Hatband Brother !!! LOL ..

But you know as well as I, you must adapt and Overcome !!!

I learned that little trick when I was workin with Carl !!!

Ray loved em, we snacked on em all night !!! LOL

Man I have been using the Little Giant sense I have been in the Trade, have always had Great Luck with them , I just started using Diversitech last year , anything mechanical has a chance of Failure !!!

Thank You Al !!!

[84randomdude]

AWESOME Video Fritz!! Looks like you and Ray had a Great time!!

Man someone really screwed up the venting on that furnace. Looks like a hack job. But you got 'er fixed up the way she should be! Great job to you and Ray!!

Love the clip of the condensate pumps. Man those things (when they're working right) are POWERFUL! I didn't know they blasted water that high!

Keep the awesome videos coming Fritz!!

~Matt~

[fritzhvac]

@84randomdude Hey Matt !!!

Me and Ray had a Ball !!!

I really needed his Help on that one !!!

I figured everybody would get a Kick outa the Pump Action !!! LOL ...

The more lift vertical lift on the Pump the more Powerful !!!

Thank You so much Matt !!!



[84randomdude]

@fritzhvac Hey Fritz!

Sounds good my friend! I knew you would! Ray's an awesome guy!

I don't have a condensate pump on my system, my furnace is in my crawlspace and it just drains out the side of the house. I use a shop vac to clean it out every spring to prevent water backing up in it though.

No problem Fritz!!! Anytime brother!!

[manholewisdom]

man that was painful to watch, I can smell that glue from here!...lol

[manholewisdom]

@manholewisdom u know painful , been there done that. :)

[fritzhvac]

@manholewisdom Hey Brother !!!

Sorry for not gettin Directly Back my Friend !!!

Got Busy !!!

Painful is a Understatement !!! ROFL ...

We gotter dun though , was not that bad , just a little Grunting !!! LOL ...

Thank You so much my Brother !!!

[INTOGUNS1]

Another great vid Fritz! I'm glad here in Louisiana were not required to run 90% furnaces. Looks like it would be alot more expensive to install for the customer with all that extra pvc pipe.

[fritzhvac]

@INTOGUNS1 Hey whats up Brother !!!

Hope you had a Great T-Day !!!

It's not a requirement here to run , people just like to update here to more efficient models !!!

PVC is not really that bad , compaired to havin to run entire New B-Vent !!!

However yesterday 1 PVC 90 ran me near $4.00 !!!

(PVC is a little higher on Black Friday) LOL ...

Thank You so much for the Great Comment my Friend !!!

[88MetalMania]

@fritzhvac I am not sure thats " PVC" is it, is it not "636"?

[fritzhvac]

@88MetalMania I I call it PVC like everyone Call a Recip Saw a Sawzall !!!

All my venting Material comes from my HVAC Distributors not Home Depot where I purchase my Equipment . This Particular Venting came from HD Supply my Ruud Distrbutor .

3” x 10' PVC S40 Foamcore Polyethylene .

[salageansorin]

@salageansorin Hey Sorin !!!
