what's going on guys jeff here and in this video we're gonna be doing heated driveway installation
part two and the reason why we can do part two is because part one has been a viral sensation on my
channel my top video and it's honestly guys it's all because you guys have been hitting the like
button for the youtube algorithm so thank you so much and let's make this video go viral again too
okay so we're on the side of the house here if you remember from last video we got the manifold
up here and basically what we're doing is going to be installing a pipe
don't mind all the drawings from the summer all the way over so that we can get the water up to
the manifold and down to my maintenance room in here so that is today's mission
for part two and before any keyboard warriors want to say you can't go on the outside we are
going to insulate it as well too with pvc pipe yes this will be insulated relax just kidding
much love you guys so many comments on the last video plenty of ways to skin the cat say hi
okay that's it
so after you cut the pipe you want to clean the pipe so that there's no oils on it so that after
you can get a good bond with the solder if you didn't know already i am not a plumber with three
quarter inch pipes you want to be cleaning about three quarter inches half pipe half
so we have to go from our manifold which has a threaded fitting to our copper pipe which we'll
be soldering because the threaded bushing is one inch and our copper pipe is three quarters of an
inch in order to do that we're going to take a reducing coupling to take us from one inch down
to three quarters of an inch so just simply we're going to be putting this in here and soldering
and then we'll be putting the piece of pipe we cut into the three-quarter end of the coupling
make sure not to touch this part with your hands so the threaded part will be threaded
into the manifold once i remove the plug but then i don't want to solder too close
to my manifold so this way we can solder the pipe in the garage let it cool down
and then once it's cool we can come back out here and attach it to the manifold
and that will allow us to solder the rest of the pipe without damaging any of the manifold
so the t-tape you want to make sure you put it around the right way so it doesn't come
unraveled so make sure you start on the bottom
okay so we're just measuring out 42 inches here for the ring stays
just dry fitting the pipe you want to make sure you're maintaining a slope
so
one
if you go too fast it'll strip the concrete so make sure you take it
nice and easy oh you got a stretch here that's level so you want to make sure
the bubble is this way because we want the slope going down that way
this there you go
so
all right so we're drilling through to get the water lines to the boiler
ah we did it
thanks for watching the video guys i still have to do the boiler so make sure you guys
are subscribed to the channel i'll be doing a part three on this channel very shortly about
the boiler and we'll be rocking and rolling providing it snows and i'll show you the
heated driveway in full effect but you guys got to be subscribed to the channel so make
sure you guys are subscribed to my journey so i'd like to defend myself a little bit because
i was getting quotes for this for around 20 grand and all in i'm gonna be close to about 10 grand
on this entire project so if you've seen the first video and then this video that's where
i'm kind of at right now so i think that's pretty good maybe you guys can get it cheaper let me know
down in the comment section if you can find it cheaper also ran into a lot of lockdown issues
trying to do this i will sit down and do a full cost analysis video as well on a separate video
