Here is a little Fuckery Friday for you all. I definitely had a good 10 minutes of WTF’s and a few more choice words. I was able to quickly shrug this one off as I have been in similar situations before and quickly had it piped back up with a new valve I located within the hour.🤘 I was here to replace the venting after waiting a month for it to arrive on special order. I already noticed the water on the ground when I walked in the boiler room. I asked the maintenance guy what was up and he said the Plumbers had been in to fix a pin hole leak. He also mentioned that they cycled all the relief devices (storage tank and boiler)🤦‍♂️. This started the initial leak...I had told him it was my intention to replace them but because my water shut down was scheduled for a few hours, I wanted to replace my venting first as I was ready to go. In the video, you can see the broken relief with the tail extension. Well that extension was piped down and resting on the venting I was replacing. I literally grabbed the tail piece to begin to remove as I knew it was only threaded in by hand. Before I could begin to even turn, this happened😅 #hvacproblems #hvac #hvacr #boilers
