Something different today guys! You don't have to be a welder to achieve a 6 figure salary. In fact, there are plenty of other routes one can take and make a killing. In this Episode we will cover one of them with the rebuilding of a pump by my buddies, two A class Millwright Mechanics. Check it out guys. Enjoy!!

I did Mechanical Engineering Technology in High School. (MET) along with science and math subjects. At the end of highschool I got my Diploma with a MET Certificate. Never liked managing people so I didn't pursue a 4 yrs degree. Such an awesome field especially if you live in Canada.😎🤑

Great instalation, I set the thrust a little differently but like your method. I generally run the impeller in until it touches then back out 0.020" then pull the clips on the mechanical seal and lock it down unless it's a condensate pump in which case I set the impeller half way to allow for thermal growth. 👍

I am a red seal journyman millwright and practiced the trade for over 35 years. We tried to do rebuilds in a clean shop and used a little better tools but the basics in this video are sound. when done correctly that pump will run for many years if pmed and lubed correctly. Disappointed did not see a laser alignment on the coupling.

I got a couple of questions for your millwright buddies? What kind of training does one need to have to be a millwright mechanic? Apprenticeship or community college? And certificates one needs? College is not for everyone. This should be presented to high school kids
@VantageWelding
@VantageWelding 3 жыл бұрын
I agree with the high school idea. But one of them is 60 years old. He’s in his way out. He started as a millwright helper and worked his way up. And my other buddy is 33. His grandad was a plant manager for one of the big dawgs here in Houston, and his dad was an electrician. He didn’t want to go either route and created his own path by, again, starting from the bottom as a helper and working his way up. But you can definitely go to college for it. Lee College I hear has a decent program.

never use brake cleaner on something you're going to weld! it is not necessary for making a clean weld zone. if it doesn't all evaporate off it can created a deadly neurotoxin called phosgene gas when it reacts with the UV light from the welding arc. Not many cases of it but why risk it. use a grinder with a wire wheel or acetone if you really want it clean. again most welders would never use brake clean.
