Finding a pressuretrol

Dan the Great says to have a steam boiler set to 1/2 psi. I am working on a comercial boiler but 5he pressure can't go lower than 2psi. I would like to change it. I looked for one but don't know which one to get. The pressuretroll has to be 120v. Any suggestions?

    Your regular supplier should be able to get one, if he doesn't have one -- try State Supply

    The lowest a pressuretrol will go is 1.5 PSI, to go lower you need a vaporstat.

    Is that a 20 PSI Pressuretrol or a 4 PSI Pressuretrol?
