How to Install a Heat Pump Water Heater / Water Heater Installation

@3:45 I noticed you didn’t remove the blue plug from the lower fitting. Obviously, you went back and removed it. Go vid. I’ve always wondered about the details.

Are you going to get a heat pump for space heating next?

Dusty, thanks for the video. I’m not familiar with this style of water heater. What would one expect to pay for such a unit?

Where is the condensate line?

Only made a few mistakes. I don't recommend using teflon tape with pipe dope. Problem is DIY's think its a sealant when in fact it is a lubricant. NPT (pipe thread) is a tapered thread, requires a tight connection to seal. Use one or the other, not both. It's overkill. Good habit of capping unused gas line, (required in the UMC, (uniform mechanical code.) When soldering, (temperatures under 840 deg.) the flux should not extend to the end. The inside of the coupling needs cleaning, and then apply the flux missing about 1/4" from the end. Flux, (is caustic, that is how it works) is used to clean the pipe and stop air from getting to the soldered joint. The other failure is the heated air in the basement, being used to heat water. The air in the basement has to come from somewhere, so if the venting pulls air to the outdoors, then the basement will require replacement air. Ifl the basement floor, bottom plates and doors, are not sealed, that air comes from the house and outdoors. The most expensive air is the treated air from the house.

How noisy? Db meter?

So a heat pump comes pre installed? Also are all heat pump heaters electric?

You don’t refer the unit as a “ hot “ water heater because there is no reason to heat hot water. It’s simply a water heater.

Hi Tom, I am really impressed with your work and mission. I would love to add value to your projects by editing your videos and designing thumbnails as a video editor and graphic designer. I have sent you an email with more details. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks, Nasir.
