Anybody know what the manufacturer and model number of the controller they use in the CB classics?

Well, thinking my controller was allowing the boiler to overshoot I bought a new one several weeks ago from my CB dealer. Turns out the controller wasn't defective, it was just a matter of the outdoor temps being too warm for my setting. Once the daily temp got below 40 I have had no problem. So now I have a spare. I can tell you that it is made by Love Controls in Michigan City, IN. Model# is TS2-110R. www.lovecontrols.com

Do you have to buy the probe assembly too? Or is the controller a plug in style.

OH and Thanks for responding!!

Probe came with it, but it does just plug in.

This model is specific for CB, though I think it is just because the bezel says Central Boiler.

So this is the right one?

http://www.dwyer-inst.com/Product/Temperature/TemperatureSwitches/DigitalPanelMount/SeriesTS2/Ordering

Looking at TS2-010F* (TS2-011 is C*)

I just can't find the TS2-110R

They probably use special numbers for CB.

Yes, I believe that is it. I think I only paid $56 for the one from my CB dealer.

That explains the 110, what does the R stand for?

GM- Is your dealer close? Or did he ship it to you?

My guess is that is a mfg code for custom faceplate for CB. My dealer is about 30 miles away, hence the reason I bought this even though I wasn't sure I would need it.

OK that completes my "Spare parts purchases" This is for two Central Boiler classics (My Sons and mine)

Spare Controller-ebay $59/free shipping
Door Gasket kit-ebay $20/$8 shipping
Grundfos pump-Pex Universe* Keeping TACO 009 as spare. $154/Free shipping
Solenoid-Grainger $29/$10 shipping

I wanted to make sure the Grundfos would work and prior to purchase I emailed Pex Supply:
Your question about: ALPHA 15-55 F Cast Iron Circulator Pump w/ Terminal Box has been answered.
On 01/02/2012 you asked the following question at PexSupply.com
"Will this pump be equivalent to a TACO 009-F5?"
PexSupply Staff from NY said:
"Not really: the Taco 009 has higher head pressure capabilities, but lower flow ratings. You need a circulator that can handle both the flow rate and head pressure of your system."

I'm going to try the Alpha anyway. I have enough temperature data to determine if the pump is working or not. If not, I'll let you know in case someone else wants to buy it.


Now-Why the spare parts? We all know how long it can take to get these parts when you really need them. I just took the search and wait out of repairing the Green Dragon.

I think the Alpha will work fine. It might even move more water than the 009 did. You probably won't be able to use the auto setting though.

I was talking to MTJAG yesterday and I think your right RSI. He seemed to get improved performance when in manual in Stage II.

Question- I don't know where i read it, but a good flow rate is about a 15-20* across a heat exchanger? (when exchanger is in use?)
