minimum safe water level established by the boiler
manufacturer. The 1100 can be installed directly into
the boiler if a suitable tapping is available
1100 can also be installed in the boiler piping using a
standard 3/4" tee
.

close to the boiler to ensure the 4' wiring harness will
reach the 24-Volt transformer. The cut-off should be
installed on the boiler side of the circulator or shut-off
valves.
IMPORTANT: Check for adequate clearance
(minimum 1/4") from metal probe sensor to any
surface inside the boiler or pipe.
Do not install in a location that could hold or trap
water in the event of a low water condition.
