Hello, everyone and welcome to jumper man, Tech where we specialize in HVAC, but do everything DIY.

And today, we're going to be installing an electric water heater.

Thank you to everyone tuning at the jumper man, Tech today, we're going to be installing the stream electric water heater.

This is a 50 gallon tank.

And it is pure electric here's, the old boiler we're going to be tapping off the water line coming off here as this is going to be discontinued.

This is the corner we're going to be working with we're going to be getting rid of this right here.

So we make some space we're gonna have to run new electrical and water lines we're going to start with the demo of this right here.

So we make some space make it look nice and clear it up and we're gonna set the new hot water tank.

So we know where it's going to be and from there, we can start running the electrical all right got some space.

And from here, let's go ahead and stand down our new water, heater and figure out a nice place for this all right we're thinking right here.

This is the spot your washer and dryer here got a pressure tank for the well, hot water heater down there's a breaker, panel we're gonna install a new breaker and we're gonna run power over here.

And you know what we could put a little switch here, a double pole, they're going to be 208 and let's.

Go ahead and start running the electric I'm gonna clean up this wall, real quick.

And at the same time, we're gonna need to get water.

And our water is going to be right here.

This is our cold water supply.

This is where all the hot water for the house is coming from before.

So we need to take this line, cut it and that's going to be our supply line for this heater.

So let's, go ahead and get started let's do the electric first here's, our breaker panel this wire and old breaker is for the old system.

Now we have space for a two-pole breaker.

Foreign I want to go off the top and just run it along here, where there's other BX let's start by putting in one of these connectors with the bushing and just put lock down the locking ring, foreign and I also grounded It, On, The, Ground, Bar.

So as far as right here, we're good now, let's just neatly run our BX along the wall, I'm making my way around I'm gonna drill in here, I'm gonna add in a switch and we're over here.

We'll run.

Our power comes into here.

A box on the wall, everything's looking neat.

We gotta run a switch into here.

So we got a two-pole switch and here's.

Our power let's, go ahead and set that up all right.

We officially have power.

Everything looks nice and neat I like the switch.

So from here, this is our cold water supply.

And this is the hot water.

And this is a relief valve Thermal Pipe this way we need to get our water supply and here's our cold water supply.

So we have to cut this shoot this this way and run across there and then it's going to be the hot water supply, we're gonna have to cut this here and then run that also this way and loop it in got a half inch water supply.

This is three quarter.

So we're gonna go from three quarter and a half inch.

And what I want to do right now is just dry fit exactly what I need to do Build, It, Up and see what how it's gonna look like and then I'll start making my connections and soldering everything all right so here's.

The dry fit it's, looking really nice here's, the electrical looking real cool.

So this is our relief valve and do something like that here's a little pressure tank, Supply, it's, nice and neat.

So let's, go ahead, piping this up and we'll, just put some Teflon on here.

Let's, go ahead and start building up this kind of pipe, all the fittings and pipes are sanded, but I need to apply flux.

So let's, go ahead and build this all up before I can start soldering as far as these I brace.

These connections and tighten down the threads.

So from here, we can continue to build so I'm, just flexing, my fittings and pipe and just building and whatever XX XS.

Flux, I have I.

Wipe it away only one inside the fitting some wet Rags here.

Let's, go ahead.

I got these two set up up to here.

And now we can continue so let's, go ahead, foreign foreign.

Wipe away, the XX flux.

So everything's, nice and neat and we're just going to continue here.

Foreign foreign foreign foreign tank is in this is all in nice and straight cold, water supply, hot water supply.

The only thing I left to do is to solder this up, but right now we can test our main line for leaks all right we're, filling up the tank.

See if there's any leaks, I don't, see anything right now all right, we got no leaks.

So from here, I just want to finish doing this and we're going to be ready for the startup just opened up the sink to get the air out got the electrical panel back on let's, go ahead and turn on this breaker, all right pulling 18 amps.

So this thing should be heating up soon for now I'm just going to finish up the relief valve piping.

Then I started this one piece let it cool off then put the Teflon tape, put it on there.

And then we can continue piping.

Prefabricated, I think we can get it on here.

The reason so is you don't want to melt this Teflon.

So we can tighten this down put a wet rag here.

And then continue building.

Let's finish this up everything's all sanded down putting into flux and that's.

It we're, almost there all right everyone.

This is.

It tank is looking great piping looks awesome finish this.

And we can wrap it up just got to give it a little bit of time to heat up and that's about it.
