pressuretrol

When does the pressuretrol work?
My system never really builds up pressure unless I set the heat for a 2-4 degree difference. I usually have the thermostat set at 68 degrees.
Thanks

    It may never

    work. Steam systems can run on very low pressure, and if you are so fortunate that the condensing capacity of your radiators and piping is neatly matched to the evaporating capacity of the boiler... you won't build pressure (well, not much). If all your radiators are nice and warm, and the house is too, be happy and relax.
