Resideo L6008A1242 Control
The Resideo L6008A1242 is a professional-grade remote bulb immersion aquastat engineered for high-precision liquid temperature regulation in hydronic heating systems. Ideal for use as a circulator control or low limit controller, this unit features a single pole double throw (SPDT) switching action, allowing it to break the circuit on temperature fall or rise depending on your wiring configuration. It operates within a 100°F to 200°F temperature range and includes a 5-1/2 foot capillary length for flexible remote sensing in boilers and storage tanks. The adjustable differential settings of 5°F to 30°F provide technicians with the granular control needed to prevent rapid equipment cycling and optimize system efficiency. Built for durability in demanding mechanical rooms, the totally enclosed Micro Switch snap-acting switches ensure reliable performance under high-duty cycles. The device supports both horizontal and vertical mounting, adapting easily to existing manifold or tank ports.

Common Questions
How do I wire the L6008A1242 for circulator control?
For standard circulator operation, use the R-B terminals to make the circuit on temperature rise. For low-limit applications, use the R-W terminals to break the circuit if the temperature drops below your setpoint.
Does this aquastat require an immersion well?
Yes, for liquid-sensing applications, the bulb should be inserted into a compatible 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch NPT immersion well (sold separately) to protect the capillary and ensure accurate thermal transfer.
Can the L6008A1242 be used with millivolt systems?
Yes, the snap-acting SPDT switch is rated for 0.25 A at 0.25 to 12 VDC, making it compatible with Powerpile or other millivolt gas valve circuits.
