Cut-In and Cut-out

Empire_2

If you are unsure, HW has a great web site that can aid you in your Q?. Usually, unless a safety and not an operating control there is a differential inside which counter and works in conjunction with the control. Since I don't know what you have, who knows. More info would be great.

Cannot find Cut-out control

Hello,

On my steam boiler I can find the cut-in (its a Honeywell make that only shows Cut-in) and I set it to 0.5PSI. However, I cannot find the cut-out part. I will have to see if I can find the model and make of the Honeywell Cut-in module.

Also, the cut-off gauge popped recently (maybe due to high pressure?) and that was the only piece we replaced.

Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind, I found the Cut-off dial inside the box.

THATY WAS EASY...

You may want to consult someone that can meet you on sight who is more versed in this topic so you don't get hurt...;-) (Seriously)

Thanks for the reply. I have read the instructions and the cut-off is Cut-in PLUS the Differential which I set to 1 (so its between 0.5 to 1.5psi; is that good enough for a basic 2 family house?)

Also main vent has been painted over by the previous owner and it seems stuck. I ordered a Gorton No.1 main vent trying to see if I can replace that to stop the hammering and hissing sound throughout most of the radiators.

Mike--what's the Honeywell website? Maybe there's one I don't know about!

Carol...

Honeywell.com Ling, you are off to a good start, but as far as pressure is concerned, It all depends in the system itself. I have no clue of what you have nor am I the for most pro in this topic. Steam head and others can offer you more definitive answers than I can...;-)
