Application
The 150S-M-HD head mechanism is designed for use on steam boilers and hot water heating systems where a combination low water cut-off and pump controller is required. The manual reset SPDT switch head is the ideal replacement when the existing switch mechanism needs to be serviced or replaced without disturbing the float chamber or boiler piping. It is suitable for residential, light commercial, and commercial boiler installations.
Why Choose Manual Reset?
A manual reset low water cut-off is recommended in applications where it is critical that a technician or operator physically inspect the cause of a low water condition before the boiler is allowed to fire again. This prevents repeated cycling on low water, protects the boiler from heat damage, and ensures compliance with many insurance and code requirements for commercial boiler installations.
