Re: Steam boiler overprescribing

[Graeme Burton]

May be a silly question but did you adjust the pressurestat after installation?

Is there something I should be concerned about here?  I'll see if it was a fluke, but not clear on why the new switch would pop.  best, bmc Sent from my apple IIe On Jul 22, 2015, at 18:46, Benjamin McCafferty <bmacpi...@me.com> wrote: Thanks Todd.  Is the wire that provides power the common, normally open, or normally closed?  I'll grab a multimeter but if you know right off hand...I can be lazy... best, bmc Sent from my apple IIe On Jul 22, 2015, at 18:07, Todd Salzman <to...@wholelattelove.com> wrote: I would recommend, pulling  the wire off pressure stat that supplies the power to the  pressure stat and see if it keep over heating.  If it turns off when you pull the wire you need a pressure stat.  If it keep heating you have another problem.
