Historical furnace or heater question.
Can anyone give me any information on when a fail safe circuit using a thermocouple or pilot generator for a heater became standard for household use or when it became mandatory for manufacturers of furnaces. I have an Adrews floor heater. Yes it’s VERY old. It doesn’t seem to have a fail safe circuit. I am very curious as the whether it never had it or if someone messed with it. Yes I know all about pushing in and holding down the pilot control rod to light the pilot but this rod isn’t going down or up, it only turns. Yes I know I should replace the entire heater and I am in the process of replacing it now or very soon. I am simply curious about its operation that is all. Any historic information you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |
