Supporting an Albuquerque Mechanical Contractor Specializing in Remote Site Work
What the Client Needed
Keefer Rader owns Albuquerque-based Outlaw Mechanical, a shop specializing in light commercial work, including kitchens. Several years before he founded Outlaw Mechanical, he worked in a remote area of Colorado maintaining mechanical systems at a private ranch, now a leading wedding/events venue and destination.
Recently, Rader learned from the venue property manager that a large kitchen broiler wasn’t performing well. When he arrived, he found that the griddle barely kept a flame, needing more [LP] gas for more heat. He was unable to use a conventional manometer since the broiler didn’t have the test ports that he typically uses for diagnosing hydronic boiler problems.
Solution
Faced with this problem, Rader went to his truck for the new FloPro-MD diagnostic tool. “It’s now one of my go-to tools for gas appliance work,” he said. “The FloPro showed that the pre-regulator gas flow and pressure were good, but on the regulator’s other [outgoing/supply] side, I began to see my problem.”
The FloPro-MD clearly indicated that the broiler’s regulator had failed. With that insight, a new regulator was installed, which provided greater gas pressure to the broiler. With the broiler working as intended, there was plenty of heat for the caterer, who was scheduled to arrive that afternoon.
