Thermostat Description and Selection 

This type of control operates by expansion and contraction of a liquid in response to temperature change. Liquid contained within the sensing bulb and capillary flexes a diaphragm causing the opening and closing of a snap action switch. For heating applications the contacts are normally closed and open on temperature rise. 
 

  

Do not use the thermostat as a power switch. Use some other means of disconnecting power to the heater for servicing. Thermostats are not a fail safe device. Use an approved high temperature limit control and/or pressure limit control for safe operation.

Stuffing Box Assembly
The Stuffing Box Assembly is used to seal the thermostat capillary when the sensing bulb is immersed directly in a liquid rather than in a thermowell. The Stuffing Box consists of six slotted washers used to compress a graphite packing into a 3/8" NPT male pipe thread fitting.
Assembly Instructions
Feed Sensing Bulb through hole in upper and lower fitting. Insert Washers and packing into top cavity of lower fitting. Upper fitting then screws into lower fitting creating the seal.
