Hi all,
I've just received a replacement thermostat (new style - old style no longer available).
As I was modifying the thermostat bracket late last night for the new thermostat, I noticed that the new thermostat is drilled and tapped where it attached to the actuating rod (about 1/8"). The old thermostat has a male (about 1/4") stud protuding from the top where it threaded into an attachment point on the actuating rod.
I plan to install the new thermostat tomorrow and haven't yet crawled back under the bug to check the actuating rod.
My question: Is there a nipple or connector on the end of the actuating rod that is removeable and exposes a male threaded end to the rod (that will connect directly to the new thermostat)?, or Do I need to make up some kind of adapter to fit the new thermostat to the existing actuating rod? That would require repositioning the thermostat at least 1/2" an inch lower due to the additional length.
Thanks in advance,
