Watts 0226080 Low Water Cut Off
As a veteran tech, you know that keeping a steam boiler safe means having a reliable low water cut-off you can trust. The Watts 0226080, specifically the SAN89S model, is a heavy-duty float and switch assembly designed for rapid field servicing without disturbing your existing pipework. This single switch assembly features a rugged SPST switch (Single Pole Single Throw) configuration, making it the industry standard for 15 psi steam applications where a consistent burner shut-off is non-negotiable.
The Watts SAN89S is engineered with a unique one-piece construction that ensures all factory adjustments remain intact during the swap. Whether you are dealing with a hydronic heating system or a standard low pressure steam boiler, this unit fits gauge glass connections perfectly, providing an essential safety barrier against "dry fire" conditions. With a maximum working pressure of 15 psi, it is the go-to replacement float assembly for contractors who prioritize boiler safety and minimal downtime on the job site.
Key Benefits for the Contractor- Streamlined Installation: The one-piece float and switch design allows for a quick drop-in replacement, saving you time on service calls.
- Universal Compatibility: Designed specifically for Series SAN89 servicing, ensuring a perfect fit for 15 psi steam pressure systems.
- Technical Reliability: Features a high-quality SPST switch for precise burner control when water levels reach critical thresholds.
- No Pipe Disturbance: Replace the internal assembly without having to re-pipe the float chamber or the gauge glass.
Is the Watts 0226080 compatible with millivolt systems?
Yes, the SAN89S switch is suitable for millivolt service in self-energized control circuits of gas-fired installations, providing versatility for various older and modern setups.
What is the maximum operating pressure for this unit?
This specific low water cut-off assembly is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 15 psi (103 kPa), making it ideal for residential and light commercial steam boilers.
