Description
The Xylem-McDonnell & Miller 51-S-2-HD is a mechanical combination water feeder and low water cutoff designed for reliable protection and automatic water makeup on low pressure steam and hot water boilers. This listing covers the snap-acting SPDT switch head mechanism only (Part Number 136200), making it an ideal replacement component for existing 51-S-2-HD installations.
Product Overview
The 51-S-2-HD combines two critical boiler safety and maintenance functions in a single, proven mechanical design. The low water cutoff monitors boiler water level and interrupts the burner circuit when water drops below a safe operating threshold, while the automatic water feeder replenishes the system to maintain proper water levels — reducing manual maintenance and protecting against dry-fire damage.
