Vaporstat Purchase - Wiring Question
Tom Hopkins
Member Posts: 554
Question-
I would like to replace my pressuretrol with a vaporstat. I see 2 similiar 0-16oz models... one is the L408J1009 and the other is the L408J1025. The difference according to the manual is that the 1025 omits the "B" terminal and only has R and W, and it "makes RW" on pressure rise.
The 1009 has R/W/B terminals, and on pressure rise it breaks RB and makes RW. Is this the model that I want, and I should wire to it RB so when I hit the main limit it breaks?
Just want to make sure I order the correct model.
Thanks!

The 1009
is what you want. And you're right...R(ed) to B(lue) for BTU's...breaks on pressure rise.
Happy Steaming!

That one will
