Not that its a big deal my 8124M schematic shows
a line voltage circulator connected to C1 and C2.

Leon. Not the same. The 8124m runs the boiler to high limit without a heat call. The TT terminal only runs the circulator. The M model keeps the boiler temp pegged to the high limit setting. Simple control.

FYI
The L8124A-1114 that came with my KA-6 has been replaced with L7224U-1002. I just installed it last night and so far it's working great.

Thanks for the info. Good to know there's a decent replacement :)

We are down to about 7-10 days of coal. That puts us at about 2.5 tons for this mild heating season. We estimated up to 6 tons. I figure we'll use another 1/2 ton if we continue to heat until we can't stand it.

I'm not really active on the board right now, but got notice of your reply to my thread and appreciate the courtesy :cheers:

Happy Easter everyone!
