    Wire them in series and connect to different tappings so if the vaporstat clogs the pressuretrol still eventually shuts down the boiler. The pressuretrol should be manual reset so someone will notice the vsaporstat isn't working(and is required in some installations)

    Hello @ranzerox,

    Series circuit, so if the switch of either device opens the burner is shut off. The switch of either device should open when the device's set pressure is exceeded. Switches are shown in the open position in picture.
