    What is wrong with your current one? If it's broken just replace with a like model.

    The PA404A1033 is the standard Pressuretrol for residential boilers.

    L404F1367 would be better. If you don't know how to test your control you should call a professional. This is a safety high limit control.

    Turn the boiler on and watch the pressure gauge. If the burner cuts out at the cutin pressure + differential pressure, then you know your pressuretrol high end is good. Leave the thermostat calling for heat. The pressure will drop. If the boiler kicks back on at your cutin pressure, the pressuretrol low end works.

    The standard ones are fine. I've seen setups using Magnehelic gauges with the internal switches. As well as various industrial pressure switches. But it's best to stick with the Honeywells, for sake of familiarity and availability.

    Wow!!.
    You can't ask questions like that.
    "Why don't you Google it.? Dummy."
    "Mind your own business, kid."
    "Don't worry about it. Jerk"
    " There are no stupid questions, only stupid people."
    And "Don't ask ,don't tell"
    Sums it up nicely.
