I made the mistake of ordering this pstat off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ROSTFE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is only a single node switch....for single boiler or HX machine i suppose. Something like this should work better: https://www.chriscoffee.com/products/replacement-pressure-stats?variant=12274915934244 I'm not a fan of the OEM model that WLL sells simply because of the plastic thread. Anyone have suggestions for better pressurestat switches?
