Default Re: Thermostats ?

Well Jack, it was suggested by others that with a shorty like they are using it could push up and turn sideways in the hose. I got some this past week and tried them in a pan of very hot water and neither one opened as far as I could tell. (Kube said you should check them first before install) A good idea. I went back to my stash and found I had several more old stock Harrison's. I guess they might have been checked once before as there was grease pencil marks that said 197 on the box's even though they were factory marked 171. I put them all in hot water and picked the two closest matching set which did open at 196. Put them in this AM and fingers crossed they will work like they are supposed to.
