First picture is an old gas valve actuator. The second obviously is a Janitrol burner.
Question is not so much how it works but should it be working in this day and age????0 -
minneapolis honeywell or detroit lubricator?
motorized gas valve. power open power close.
20-30 years ago i would see those here and there but always called an old guy for help. now that im the old guy im glad i dont see'm. never did figure out the wiring on those.
while im all for keeping those dinosaurs alive, i believe the janitrol is on of those that cannot be modernized0 -
That's exactly why I used to be afraid of gas.
