    as low as possible...

    less than 1.5 to 2 psi. Why do you ask?

    Cut it at .5 psi

    and cut out at 1.5 psi if you have a pressuretrol. And that's only because it's the lowest possible setting on a standard pressuretrol.
    Retired and loving it.

    Thanks for the responce, it seems boiler is cycling on and off more this winter after the local gas company tech who who inspected and made adjustments ( which they do for free as part of service) this leads me to believe i have other problems to check out and elimate one at a time.
