If so, check the connections to the circulator or burner that the aquastat is trying to operate. Your aquastat, the L8024B controller, also sold in the L8024D model, is being used in your case to control a Hydro-Therm natural gas-fired heater and possibly a circulator pump; often a review of exactly how a controller is being used in a given application can make more clear just what replacement aquastat will work best.

The basic components and connections in the circulator relay include: If you have not already done so, we suggest reviewing the basic operation of a heating boiler aquastat described. Because there are three circulator pumps and circulator relays, each controlled by an individual wall thermostat, it seems unlikely that all of them are bad. Added iso valves at air scoop for vent and ET, 3. Right now the TPR valve is doing what it's supposed-to: relieving the pressure; however ultimately scale formation by that dripping water at the relief valve could cause it to clog, risking a serious BLEVE - an explosion. If re-setting the probe properly with conductive grease doesn't fix the problem it'd be proper to replace the aquastat. On 2019-08-14 by (mod) - Tapping on the aquastat to get it to work.

Easy to install. My zone valves are made by honeywell and I believe they are the newer version. Turn down t-stat to lower temperature so that all heating goes to the troubled loop and see what happens. One time I took the cover off the aquastat and blew in it and it started. The relay magnet switch on the aqua stay will not shut off. Aquastat manufacturers such as Honeywell make clear that. On the boiler itself or remotely say, on or next to the oil burner? Way back we traced the burner on cycle problem to poor contact of the aquastat's temperature sensor in the sensor well. My DHW tank is a zone (tank was added after the fact), but only triggers the LO setting, so it doesn't get the the hotter water that my heating zones get. 1. What can be the problem? On 2020-12-09 by (mod) With that connection if the relay keeps buzzing or chattering and there are no loose wires then I suspect a ba relay or bad aquastat control board. I'm impressed.
