Boiler thermostat
I have a really old potterton floor standing boiler and think the
boiler stat has gone tits-up. it's very similar in appearance to a freezer thermostat in that it's a box with a dial on it with a thin tube leaving from one side. However it differs in that on the end of the thin copper tube is a bulb some 7" long and about as thick as a pencil. The bulb sits in a cavity within the heat exchanger. Is this a fairly standard part? Where can I get one? I have tried a Google with no luck. sPoNiX |
