I live in NJ and just had a a Burnham boiler (model =
204BCL-TEi2)installed. After 4 visits, the contractor still cannot get
the well to exceed 180 deg. He replaced the Honeywell? aquastat 4 times
to no avail. He "fixed" it by mouting a honeywell strap-on aquastat
about 40" above the boiler, on the outbound pipe. Not only does
contractor believe he fixed it, Burnham wrote me a letter accepting
this.

Can ANYONE endorse this jury-rig. I am living in aquastat hell and
cannot believe Burnham would support this. There is no logical reason
that the operating specs, efficiency etc. would be the same with a
remote aquastat.

Thoughts?

Thanx, Tom.

Does the aqua stat have a mercury bulb, pull the cover and look , run to
temp and see what the bulb does.

Tom.

I have looked over Burnhams site, and looked for the model you posted....its
not there.

I have a couple of ideas, but in order to verify them, I have to see the
wiring diagram on the unit you have...if you can find it, let me know, but
as far as what you call a rig....you have to remember that each and EVERY
install is different, and provided that the maker of the unit will accept
it, its fine.
Again...if you can locate that model, give me the link and I will see if my
guess is correct and then, will let you know in here one way or the other,
but if I cant see it, I cant comment.
