Taco Room Thermostat

I would like to use a Taco 568-14 thermostat to replace my exisiting Honeywell T87 thermostat. I have a hot water gas boiler but no Taco zone valves. Instead, I have Honeywell relays that control the booster pumps.
The Taco 568-14 room thermostat is designed for control of Taco Zone valves. It is a simple thermostat with a positive snap action switch and a spiral type bi-metal element for sensitive control. It doesnt have a mercury switch like the Honywell does.
Can I use this Taco thermostat in place of the honeywell T87? Thanks!!

Hi George
Here is Mario's correspondence from this morning. Truthfully, I thought he answered you directly, but after reviewing it I noticed he didn't give you a specific yes, or no. The answer is yes, the T87 is equivalent to the Taco 568-20 analog thermostat. Thank you, for using Taco products, and do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have additional questions or concerns.
Hello George, the Taco stat is just a switch like any other thermostat including the mercury switch type. The part number you reference (568-14) is obsolete; the current model would be 568-20. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us anytime.
Regards,
Mario Silva
