This posting was in response to a query regarding installing another thermostat instead of using the one on the rear of the Shavers. Response was from Russ, the Shaver salesman out of Maryland.
I do have a Ranco 111000 on its way to my humble abode and so here are my questions:
1) The well that goes in to the rear of the furnace or water jacket if you will..... how far down into the tank should this well go?
2) Do I want the well IN the water or just IN the air space of the water jacket?
3) Will I have issues down the road with the metal shavings from the drill bit getting into the water?
4) I don't have a snake, but I do have a Shaver 250 OWB how do I wire this bad boy?
5) Putting the cart before the horse...at what temperature should I set the thermostat?

As for the well . drill a hole about 14" back on the top of the furnace. One guy just used a 12" piece of copper tube with a cap soldered on the end . At the top you can use a reducer or just flare the end so when you drop it in the hole the reducer will catch it.then drop in the probe from the Ranco and put a little silicone around the hole to seal it up and your done.
