Read MoreLow water cutoff valves are installed on all steam boilers, most commercial heating boilers, and some home heating boilers (hydronic or hot water heating systems). Original LWCO valve designs like the low water cutoff mounted on the face of the boiler shown at left used a mechanical float which operated not unlike the float arm in a toilet tank.

Read MoreLow-Pressure Steam. Low-pressure boilers operate at a lower pressure and reach lower temperatures than high-pressure steam boilers. Water in low-pressure boilers is not heated beyond 250ºF, and the steam pressure does not exceed 15 psi (pounds per square inch). Low-pressure steam can be more economical to produce than high-pressure steam, as

Read MoreLow-Water Fuel Cut-Off and Water Feeder Problems First, a caution that the monthly test of a low-water fuel cut-off should not be applied to hot water heating boilers in a closed system because it requires a shutdown of the heating system (in a single boiler plant), the isolation of the boiler from the system, and drainage of all the water above the cut-off level.
Read MoreThe controller then generates an output signal telling the control valve to either introduce more or less water into the boiler to maintain the steam drum water level at setpoint. As with the transmitter, the controller in this system is pneumatic, operating entirely on compressed air. This means the output of the controller is also a variable

On hydronic systems, it is common to have one installed in the piping above the boilers. If the low water cutoff is connected to the system piping with nipples or pipes, valves cannot be installed in the piping to allow isolation of the low water cutoff and the system.
