High or Low Limit Aquastat, 100-240 Degree F range, 5-30 Degree F Differential

Honeywell L4006A1678/U – Aquastat® Controller with Immersion Bulb, 100–240°F Range

The Honeywell L4006A1678/U is a single-function Aquastat® control designed for regulating water temperature in hydronic heating applications. It features an immersion-type bulb sensor for direct insertion into boilers, tanks, or piping systems, and is used to break or make electrical contacts based on fluid temperature rise.

This line-voltage temperature control includes a visible setpoint dial, snap-acting micro switch, and adjustable differential for application-specific calibration. Suitable for use as a high limit, low limit, or circulator control depending on wiring configuration.
