The manufacturer usually provides a tapping for insertion of  
the controller sensing element. This tapping is located at a  
point where typical water temperature can be measured.  
Depending on the model, the element is inserted in an  
immersion well, through a boiler fitting, or directly immersed.

(
L4006A,B,E,G; L4007A,B; L6006A; L6007A)  
On an existing installation, shut off the power and remove the  
old control. If the old immersion well appears suitable, and if  
the adapter clamp on the Aquastat Controller fits the old well  
spud, this well does not need to be replaced.  
To replace the well:  
WARNING  
Can cause serious injury or death.  
Disconnect power supply before beginning installation  
to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.  
1.  
If the system is filled, drain the system to a point below  
the boiler tapping.  
Electrical Shock Hazard.  
2. Remove the old well from the boiler tapping.  
3. Install the immersion well included with the controller. If  
the boiler tapping is greater than 1/2 in. (13 mm), use a  
reduction fitting to adapt the boiler opening to the 1/2 in.  
(
13 mm) threads that are standard with the well or fitting.  
Fittings with 3/4 in. (19 mm) threads are also available.  
Fill the system. Make sure that the well is screwed in  
tightly enough to prevent leakage. Do not use the case  
as a handle to tighten the well after the controller is  
secured to the well.  
CAUTION

. Do not replace immersion-type Aquastat Controller  
with strap-on Aquastat Controller.  
To install the controller:  
1
.
Loosen the screw (at the top of the case, above the  
scale setting), and remove the cover. Loosen the two  
screws that secure the adapter clamp. (See Fig. 6).  
Insert the sensing element into the immersion well.  
Fasten the case of the Aquastat Controller to the well  
with the adapter clamp. Make certain that the clamp is  
properly positioned over the groove of the well spud.  
Also, be sure the flange at the opening of the well fits  
snugly into the opening of the case. The sensing bulb  
must bottom in the well.  
2. Do not secure draw nut so tightly that retainer clamp  
can collapse tubing.  
2.  
.
IMPORTANT

1
. Terminals on these Aquastat relays are approved for  
copper wire only.  
2
. Controller may be used with or without immersion  
well. If used, well must snugly fit sensing bulb for best  
thermal response. Insert bulb until it rests against the  
bottom of the well. Use well of correct length and  
bend the tubing, if necessary, to provide enough force  
to hold the bulb against the bottom of the well. Avoid  
making a sharp bend in the tubing as it can produce a  
break in the tubing and cause loss of fill. This  
condition causes the High and Low Limit controls to  
be made continuously.  
NOTE: Some models include up to 3 in. (76 mm) extra capil-  
lary tubing inside the case. In these models, pull out  
the extra tubing, if needed.  
3
. If well does not snugly fit on bulb, use the heat-  
conductive compound, included with Super Tradeline  
and Tradeline models, as follows: Fold the plastic bag  
of compound lengthwise and twist gently. Snip the  
end of the bag and insert into the well. Slowly pull out  
the bag while squeezing firmly to distribute compound  
evenly in the well. Insert the bulb into the well. Bend  
the tubing, if necessary, to provide force to hold the  
bulb against the bottom of the well and to hold the  
outer end of the bulb firmly in contact with the side of  
the well. Wipe off excess compound.

Installing Direct Immersion Models  
L4006C, L6006B)  
Models that provide for direct immersion of the sensing  
element into the boiler include a bulb compression fitting  
assembly instead of an immersion well. Install the fitting in the  
boiler tapping as follows:  
The boiler manufacturer usually provides a tapping for the  
insertion of the Aquastat Controller sensing element. This  
tapping should be located at a point where typical water  
temperature can be measured. Never locate the bulb or  
protecting immersion well close to a hot or cold water inlet or a  
steam coil.  
(
1.  
Be sure the sealing washer is in place as shown in  
Fig. 7. Make sure that the spud of the bulb compression  
fitting is screwed in tightly enough to prevent leaking.  
If the system is filled, drain system to a point below the boiler  
tapping, or wherever the sensing bulb is to be installed.  
The bulb can also be installed in the supply line of an indirect  
water heater, in the direct water heater itself, or in the feed  
riser, about 6 in. (153 mm) above the boiler. If the riser is  
valved, the bulb can be installed between the boiler and the  
valve.

For Outdoor Air Sensing  
These models have a 5 ft (1.5 m) capillary that establishes the  
maximum distance between the case and the outdoor  
mounting.  
Install the bulb on the outside of the building in the shield  
provided (See Fig. 15) where it can be exposed to  
representative air temperature, but not to direct sunlight. Mount  
the bulb high enough so that accumulated snow, leaves, or  
other debris cannot obstruct circulation of air around it, and  
where children cannot reach it. Avoid vents from the building.

Break the holder to the desired length. (See Fig. 13).  
3.  
Install the case at the indoor location selected, fastening the  
screws through holes in the back of the case. Bring out the  
bulb and tubing through a 3/4 in. (19 mm) hole in the outside  
wall, avoiding sharp bends or kinks. Leave excess tubing  
coiled near the case. Do not make sharp bends near the case  
or bulb.  
NOTE: The holder must be long enough to hold the sensing  
bulb in freely circulating air away from the duct wall.  
Neatly coil the excess capillary at the controller case  
or at the bulb holder.  
Slip the bulb through the supports in the shield. Pinch the split  
supporting clip until it holds the bulb firmly in position. If the  
seal-off tube protrudes from under the shield, bend it under as  
shown in Fig. 15.  
Hold the shield over the mounting position and form a small-  
radius bend in the tubing. Place the split plug around the tubing  
and move the shield into the mounting location as a unit. Push  
the split plug into the hole until it is wedged securely in place.  
Fasten the shield in place on the wall with the screws provided.

temperature at which the right switch operates. The left switch  
can be adjusted to operate from 3° F to 10° F (1.7° C to 5.6° C)  
above the point of operation of the right switch. See Figure 30  
for the operation of the L6008G. The interstage differential is  
adjusted by turning the star wheel with a narrow screwdriver  
inserted into the rectangular hole in the chassis. (See Fig. 32).

STAR WHEEL (INTERSTAGE  
DIFFERENTIAL ADJUSTMENT)  
EXAMPLE:  
In the example shown in Fig. 33, the L6008A case is  
located in a room with a lower temperature than the  
controlled space. Adjusting the controlled space setting (dial  
setting) is necessary to compensate for the temperature  
difference of 35° F (20° C) between the two rooms. Table 3  
indicates that the dial setting should be lowered 5° F (3° C)  
to compensate for the 35° F (20° C) temperature difference.

L6008A Location Differential Calibration  
The L6008A1093 is calibrated for applications where the bulb  
and controller case are located in the same control space.  
Manual Reset  
If the bulb and controller case are located in separate rooms,  
and if the temperature in the two rooms is different, an  
adjustment is required. Adjust the dial setting (control space  
temperature setting) to compensate for the difference in  
temperature.  
If the device includes manual reset (L4006E, L4008E), be sure  
to press the (red) reset button on the front of the case to make  
sure that the controller is not locked out on safety. When  
checking the system, adjust the limit setting low enough so the  
temperature of the controlled medium reaches the high limit  
setting. When the limit setting is reached, the Aquastat  
Controller locks out and the burner shuts down. When the  
temperature of the controlled medium drops to the high limit  
setting, less the differential, push the manual reset button to  
make the system operative again. Reset the control to the  
proper high limit setting.

.
If the L6008A case is located in a room with a higher  
temperature than indicated on the dial setting, raise the  
dial setting the number of degrees listed in Table 3.  
If the L6008A case is located in a room with a lower  
temperature than indicated on the dial setting, lower the  
dial setting the number of degrees listed in Table 3.
