MOUNTING THE CASE
Mount the case in a convenient location near the boiler.
Remember that the shielded capillary must reach from the
case to the immersion well. This maximum ambient tem-
perature of the selected location must not exceed 150°F
(66°C) at the case, 265°F (130°C) at the sensing element.

IMMERSION WELL MOUNTING
NOTE: Immersion well must be ordered separately. For a list
of available wells, refer to form 68-0040, Wells and
Fittings for Temperature Controllers.
The boiler manufacturer generally provides a tapping
for the immersion well. This tapping should be located at a
point where typical water temperature can be measured.
The immersion well must never be located close to a hot or
cold water inlet or a steam coil, or where the pressure
exceeds 200 psi (1380 kPa).
If the system is filled, drain to a point below the selected
installation location.

capillary. Bends should be no sharper than 1 in. (25 mm)
radius.
