" We're getting ready to solder some copper pipes together that connect with the boiler right correct that's correct. So this will bring the hot water over here. The these pipes and what is that you have to do before you -- the copper pipe while the other. Which Jeff and there was clean the carpet tubing with an abrasive cloth yet to remove any impurities and -- you flux it would vote with a brush. What that does breaks the surface tension of the you have metal so that this ought to Libya to -- and vineyard heated up to. Temperature of it -- 900 degrees for the -- on that we're using. And then that will fuse the joints. This is the hot water coil that connects back to the boiler that we just left. And the boy alone will have a zone valve that will open on demand from the thermostat. From the ground floor level which is what this Hydro air handler handles okay we'll open his own well. Pump the water through. The the piping into the -- the blower will be running and it will take the year and blow it past recoil at the air and blow to all the rooms that's essentially how you get hot air. From this particular air handler in all of the ground floor rooms we have another air handler that's similar to us."
" And it's located in one of the ease up on the third floor carefully hidden away there -- and that we'll take care of these the bedrooms. There -- about in the middle of this thing we've got. Just so many different Stoddard joints. I think Stoddard exactly the payment would generally here know that that's what we call soft -- And it's a combination of 955 starters. But this is filled with which is still a brazen -- that requires -- temperature. Up around 111200 degree that is done by a factory and in depth and at the factory off precut. So in the middle of the air handler we've got the squirrel cage fan and then what solid down here -- the cooling coil Bob and that this has used it in different cities this would be used that you think will be used in the in the winter season this abuse in the summer season. Basically that'll circulate Korea that circulates freon through these to fight that you see right here will be connected to an outdoor condensing unit now that this unit include. An air cleaner or humidifier. While the unit normally comes with a fiberglass filters which is located right here we're upgrading from an electronic air cleaner which is going to be right in this area right here that obvious effort mounted on the side yes it's gonna get 2000 CFM death. 2000 cubic feet of pyramid it appear cleaner there will remove about 90% of the impurities -- every year change a different way I would add. John finish up the stuttering here let's go up to one of the bathrooms and talk about the radiant heat that's being installed in the floor --"
" So tell us what you're doing here this is a bathroom floor and the bathroom floor that we're going to be putting radiant floor heating in the Florida. And slab what we're doing now is putting in the heat transfer -- that will be used to carry the warm water from the boiler circulated through this total. And then send it back to the bloated heating it was just -- made out of this is a multi layered. Heat transfer oppose. And it's designed for applications -- radiant heat in the floor how -- the water that goes through -- beat the water temperature that we've calculated for this area will be a 125 degrees so this has to be real sturdy stuff this is able to handle temperatures much warmer than that actually if you look at it has a rating on it up to a 180 degrees -- living room ceiling underneath the -- and I would worry about that -- you you'll just. Be using the water temperature that you need in order to. Heat up the us slept in the temperature that gives to a comfortable floor yeah this is the rough part of the job yeah and then what we'll be doing here prior to ceramic tile installation is to lay down what we call -- mud job. Which will be kind of a dry mix of Portland cement and sand. And the ceramic tile would be laying on top of that. Now how do you hook this this. This product which is either -- isn't my room. This is a robber compound that how do you couple this with the copper I think this we use a barbed fitting that -- fit into the hand of the transfer hold so you do have fitting in which that hosts that covert on one hand and then that thing would be -- into a regular plumbing proper fitting on the other hand on the other end right here that would make your connection to the apartheid -- copper piping that's normally used to run. The hot water from the boiler to a manifold it's located in the area of the radiant heat. "
