La Marzocco Manual Reset Thermostat 130°C (single pole) (UL)

La Marzocco 130°C Single-Pole Manual Reset Thermostat (UL)

This bi-metal manual-reset thermostat is what La Marzocco uses on their steam boilers and group heads to protect against overheating, when it trips at 130°C, you push the reset button rather than replacing a fuse. Both the older red-button version and the newer brown-button version do the exact same job; neither is an upgrade over the other, so buy whichever is in stock.

COMPATIBILITY

• Fits: La Marzocco steam boilers and group heads
• Replaces: La Marzocco part #L276 or L276.01 (red-button and brown-button versions are functionally identical)
• Works with: an optional mounting bracket, these no longer ship with one, so save your old bracket or order a replacement

INSTALLATION

A qualified technician job, requires accessing the boiler and working around live electrical connections.

PRO TIPS

• Always smear a small amount of thermal paste on the thermostat's sensing head before bolting or clamping it down, it fills microscopic gaps between the switch and the boiler surface so the thermostat reads actual boiler temperature instead of lagging behind it, which matters most on pipe-mount installations. This synthetic grease won't dry out or harden over time, but it's a heat-transfer aid only, never use it as an adhesive.
