in Oil Heating
Taking a burnham oil fired boiler tankless off of domestic hot water,
We are installing a 50 gal electric hot water heater.
What should the triple aquastat be set to?
It is a Honeywell L8124A triple aquastat. Only need it for heat now.

It should be
Replaced with a standard aquastat. Otherwise the boiler will maintain a minimum temp.0 -
I say
Let it maintain a minimum temp. There's still a coil in that boiler and it's gasket will start to leak when the boiler gets cold. Not to mention that a minimum temp will keep any summer condensation at bay. I'd turn the low limit down to where I think 100° would be, then check it later to see if that's what it's maintaining. At 100° it will use very little oil to maintain temp.0 -
Agreed!
I'm with Paul on his thoughts.There was an error rendering this rich post.
