The 42S and 42S-N controls are
installed so that the horizontal cast line
on the body is 

1

a

a

” (35mm) below

the

boiler’s 

normal

water level, 

but not

lower than the lowest, safe permissi-
ble water level, as determined by the
boiler manufacturer.

The 42S-A controls are installed in boil-
er’s gauge glass tappings. The horizontal
cast line should be approximately 

1” (25

mm) above

the bottom of the glass.

Verify that this level is

not below the

lowest, safe permissible water level,
as determined by the boiler manufac-
turer.

STEP 1 - Determine the Elevation at Which the
Low Water Cut-Off/Pump Controller Must be Installed

INSTALLATION –

TOOLS NEEDED:

Two (2) pipe wrenches, one (1) flathead screw
driver, and pipe sealing compound.

IMPORTANT:

Follow the boiler manufacturer's

instructions along with all applicable codes and
ordinances for piping, blow down valve and water
gauge glass requirements.
