We Found a Silent Killer During a Simple Visit

Hey guys, we have this little old lady, actually a cancer patient, who ain't got no heat. At least that's what we were told. Come with me. Was that a come on in? Yes. Okay, what's going on? Okay, my furnace is running, it's running. It's been running since around four o'clock yesterday evening. Yes, ma'am. You can hear it run? Yes, ma'am. The blow will not come on. Um. Are you you're trying to get some heat right? Sure. All right let's turn the fan off. Which way is heat and which way is cool? I see an E right there I think. Come here I'm gonna show you something. Okay you see this switch right here? Yes. That's for the fan and if you turn it on it's going to be the fan and it'll run 24 7. You need to leave that on auto and it'll only come on when Heater cool is on. I think is heat this way? Yes. I can't read it anymore. Okay let's check it out. I'm just going to do a do a few little checks here make sure this flue pipe that happened. I completely understand. I'm gonna right now it is not safe. I'm gonna do what I can to make it safe for you okay. What is all of that? That's my flue pipe and it is full. Yes there you go. okay this is a this is not the proper three to four reducer but that is a four to three reducer so this is number four that's what i need so i need a three to four reducer and we're just gonna redo the whole thing let's see one elbow i am not sure i'm gonna be able to get another piece of double wall up into that i'm gonna do it with single wall pipe so three to four reducer one One stick of four inch and an elbow. I'm going to... Go pick up some supplies and hurry back okay. The proper type of reducer to get. This fits down over the fitting on those rude furnaces perfectly and then you crimp the top kind of like this and everything fits together. But that is a four to three reducer. We're actually going from three to four. Getting ready for a flue pipe and I need a crimper. This is one and this is one. They basically do the same thing. I think I'm going to use this one. This is what a crimper does. It makes a crimp in the middle so it makes it easier to shove this end into a four-inch pipe. And you see this little piece right here on all the rain furnaces, the residential ones anyway. They start out at a three, so you need this flat three. I don't really want to go, does it? I can tell it's real close. No. Well, you don't have to stand up to be here with us. I'll take care of this. I was just trying to pull that out to crimp it a little bit better. I'm not sure I'm helping. One second, I need to put you down. Just get it started. There we go. Now we crimp this all the way around. A traditional double-sided three to four right here will not fit. You won't be able to get it connected. So even if you're doing double-sided, you still need a single wall three to four to do this. As you see, that four fits right down on top of that. And now we just need to from here to here and i've got like 31 inches one thing i want to do is um i want to use this crimp that's already here the factory crimp that is the best one now we said 31 inches tell you what i'm going to go more towards 32 just because better to have too much than cut it too short be careful this will cut you in a heartbeat i was doing better from the other side now these little sharp points Everybody's got names for them. I call them gator teeth. I'm not going to screw this together just yet. Anybody who's put together a dryer vent, you know that putting together a four inch pipe is not exactly very easy. Right now we're just sizing this up exactly, fitting in the exact measurement. Like I need to take maybe two and a quarter off. Cutting it like that sure was a lot Now, before we go in... I'm just trying to piece this together. There we go. I might sink a screw into that. It does kind of help if you take screws out. If I don't get this correct, if I have the polarity reversed, it won't sense a flame. I did turn off that gas valve a little while ago. It ought to work now. So what I was expecting to find, I did install a carbon monoxide detector for her. Actually, I thought I was filming, but I was not. And then when I turned off the camera, I actually turned it on. So yeah, that happens sometimes. I don't always know when I'm recording sometimes. You hit the button and maybe nothing happens. So that one is done. I should take a moment to tell y'all, go out and vote. It is important. Tomorrow's election day, the midterm elections. If you haven't voted already, I don't care what party you're voting for. Just go out and vote. Exercise your responsibility and your rights and do the right thing. If y'all enjoyed the video, please like and subscribe. Check out the store in the corner.
