Got my new Harman sf 160 boiler today. New for me, owner installed and didn't realize what burning a coal fire entailed. Worked it into the basement, and will be doing the install within a week or two. The question I have is concerning the aqua stat/air control. No manual came with the unit and the control is no longer used on these boilers. If some one had the I/O install paper work or knew where I could find one, it would be greatly appreciated. No, the Harman web site does not have these manuals. Went to the White Rodgers web page, and they list these controls as obsolete with no recommended replacement. Really what I need is some wiring info. Thanks........

Post a photo of the controls, this way we can help you easier.. there is a long thread about a 260 boiler, maybe PM the owner of that boiler to see if his instructions will work with your controls..

A list of the make, and model of each control with photos would be best.

You can update the aquastat with a typical Honeywell 8124 C aquastat, it is pretty universal.

The control in question is a White Rodgers 11A61-103, I'll try to post a pic.

Thanks, but that is their recent install manual. Those are Johnson controls. They originally had a White Rodgers control, that was mounted directly on the top right of the boiler face in the immersion well.As in this web pages photo.

Show a pic, if you can, of the inside of the control and also the mechanism of the damper operator and we should be able to help you out.

I have a SF 160. It was called a Trident boiler when I bought it. It was made by Harman Stove Co. I have the White-Rogers wiring diagrams if you still need them. I will be glad to send you a copy. They have wiring scenarios for different applications.

A bit late to this thread but hoping a copy of the diagram or install sheet for this unit is still floating around? My searches have come up empty so far. The one I have was rewired by the previous owner and I would like to set it back to stock. Thanks
