Came out today to replace the bell and gosset booster pump up in the ceiling that we had previously looked at. Client bought their own replacement booster pump and new unions. We removed the old pump and began to remove the unions. Got the first one off, and while trying to get off the 2nd, the old copper pipe pulled right out of the solder joint due to it being in the fitting only a quarter of the way. So, we ended up replacing that 1” ball valve with new propress ball valve, replaced the check valve with new spring check, then proceeded to pipe the rest of the pump in. Pump is supported by a clevis hanger and fastened to the concrete ceiling with all thread rod. Got air out and tested. After tightening up a small drip on the unit, we are good to go. 1 yr labor warranty Service fee is no longer waived for commercial work. Bill out.
