    Honeywell Aquastat Settings

    Is your boiler direct vent? If is then you most likely have a sealed combustion. There are sensors controlling for a proper air-gas ratio. If one of them is insufficient or the exhaust is blocked the system will shut down, or the sensors could be faulty

    Accidentally drilled hole in PVC pipe

    Hole in PVC pipe Here is my experience; there is no glue designed to permanently seal an open hole in the PVC pipe in order of my preference: 1.Tap 1/16-27 NPT and install a plug. (the ¼†hole diameter is OK for 1/16-27 NPT). You do not need to apply any dope or a teflon tape. If the...
