Re: NEST Thermostat vs. Tekmar 256 Compatibility
Update: Followed Ed’s wiring diagram and installed a separate transformer for the NEST and ODR. Now the thermostat called for heat and signals the ODR to start the boiler. Seems to be operating normally in that fashion now.
I also Jamie Hall’s advice and dumbed down the NEST to a simple programmable thermostat. Will negate the seat backs as well and let the ODR take care of that.
Thanks again for the great help and advice! Really want to dial the ODR in for comfort and stability once the real winter weather sets in.

Re: Repair small section of 3/8 oil line?
Yes you can repair it with a flare coupling (no compression fittings) Perfectly fine. No reason to replace the entire line.
Re: Repair small section of 3/8 oil line?
Do you mean physically? If so, yes, if your flares are really really good and you are careful. However, if I were the local building inspector and I saw it, I couldn't get the red tag out of my pocket fast enough…

Finally found my vented Clow Gasteam Radiator, after a ten year search. I've restored it and it's working well. Those with further interest can search my post on the restoration, "Clow Gasteam Radiator Notes".
Re: No heat this weeks case
@ethicalpaul, thank you. That's right. The light could be burnt out and that's why I suggested checking the voltage on the aqua stat.

Re: WM QB-180 maintenance ??
My mistake on the model number of the Carlin primary control on my previous post. Ed has the link for the one I was referring to. Thanks Ed!
Re: Boiler system help! Cannot get heat to all registers...
Could it be that you have a bad circulator while we’ve all gone on the assumption that you had air binding?
