Sprint Thermostat Housing - corroded

#1 Post by payload »

Hi, first post in a while as I am starting work on recomissioning GYM 522W after a long lay up.

Does anybody know of a source for Sprint thermostat housings, new or good second hand. Have searched all the obvious online suppliers and ebay.

I think my current one is a gonner, but have posted a link to a photo below in case anybody can see how it is salvageable....

Hi Ian,

Welcome!

Well, that's certainly a variation on the spigot for the expansion tank breaking off, which is the usual malady but easily repaired.

I have a few used ones that I could select a better one from for you; I think you'd struggle to get a good seal on the one you have!
