Looking to replace a round bowl toilet with an elongated and there is minimal room to have it protrude into the room any more than the existing one. The shower door already smacks into the front of the toilet if it's not opened with care. I have done some searching and have come up with the...

It is a high limit aquastat, per the manual, but I guess it's also a low limit or differential for when to kick back on when there is a call for heat. Original manual lists it as a Raypak 601013 - adj auto high limit looks like it's replaced by: Raypak 014307F
