Wiring a Riello with a Bradford White Heater

Unknown

Bradford White oil fired water heater with the Beckett burner and the Honeywell aquastat that has a secondary safety built in - cutout at 180 ( which isnt a manual reset - it will come back on in a temp drop ) . It comes prewired so that if the main aquastat part fails in the closed position and the temp goes above 180 - the secondary aquastat cuts off power to the burner motor and transformer , hopefully locking out the burner .

My question is , does anyone use this sort of setup with a Riello burner , and how is it wired in to do the same job ? Thanks , Ron .

Safety limit

Best off using a second safty limit with a manual reset . Never seen one of those aquastat being used to lock out a Riello. I have seen the limits wired in series with the Riello . I guess if need be outside of a manufacturer's recommedation a oil line solenoid valve could be used to lock one out......

Thanks Mr Slomins

I guess working for a big oil company , you get to choose exactly every piece of equipment you install . Next time you see a Braford White and Beckett , take a good look on how its wired , you might learn something , Alarmo . Thanks for your help , buddy .

Just found out from a Riello rep

that it shouldnt be done the way its wired with a Beckett . I wonder if an operating limit and manual reset aquastat is made all in one by some manufacturer ?

Limit

Yes , with a Beckett set up you have a separate primary control ,so you can cut out the burner "after" the relay to make that type high limit lock out work. From a service view I don't think it's ideal............ a manual reset limit is better, you know what the problem is from the get-go... But I guess from price and safty stand point , it's better then none.....


P.S. Hey! Mr. Slomins ...... is the rumors true about Big Blue buying you guys out?
