operates in pounds, the vaporstat operates in ounces.

    Pressuretrol vs. Vaporstat ????

    What is the difference between a Pressuretrol and a Vaporstat? Is it reliability? Operability?

    I might add

    to Gerry's remark that they also operate in different pressure ranges. The vaporstat will reliably, repeatedly, operate on pressures as low as a few ounces; a pressurestat, generally, becomes unreliable if you try to set it much below a pound or two. Since most steam heat systems operate on no more than say 10 to 12 ounces...
