The McDonnell & Miller 150S-HD Head Mechanism is a replacement part for Series 150S and Series 157S Low Water Cut-Off (LWCO) units in steam boilers. Its primary function is to quickly and easily replace the vital components of the LWCO without disrupting existing piping or boiler operation. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and benefits:

Function:

• Fast and efficient replacement: Allows you to swap out the head mechanism of your Series 150S or 157S LWCO without disconnecting boiler piping or draining the system, minimizing downtime and labor costs.
• Houses vital components: Contains the float chamber, snap-action switches, and external connections that are crucial for the LWCO’s operation.
• Safety and protection: Ensures your boiler is protected from the dangers of low water conditions by automatically shutting down the burner when water levels fall below a safe threshold.

Benefits:

• Simplified maintenance: Enables quick and easy repairs or replacements without complex disassembly or draining, saving time and effort.
• Reduced disruption: Minimizes downtime for your boiler system, keeping you warm and comfortable with minimal interruption.
