Kestrel Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Could someone describe or post a photo of where the heat riser anti-rattle spring attaches ? Exhaust flange bolt ? I suspect the counter weight lever became bent during the repair. I have the shaft moving freely, a new coil thermostat and spring. Thank you.

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) An "ell" bracket is mounted on the bolt just under the spring on your photo. Bottom side of the flange.

beerczar1976 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 The "el" bracket on mine had been lost to time as well. Went to hardware store, found a couple different length that I though might have worked (they come in a 2 or 3 pack), and then drilled the hole bigger to accept the flange bolt. Trickiest was finding a bracket long enough on the bottom side to clear the edge of the flange, but wasn't too long that would allow for the spring to attach. All that spring is meant for is to keep the butterfly valve in the heat riser from flapping when it's been totally freed up/working properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
