- Speaking of warming... (kidding) I recall hoopla over bellows type stats being needed for the earlier TRs. CAn someone explain why? Also, what is/are the features that are significant. Thanks in adva

- Thanks. I have a supply of NOS bellows thermostats as well. Regrettably they don't have any skirts or sleeves, which is what is needed by your analysis. I get it. Thanx. == This list supported in par

- Seems self-evident to me. Without the bypass, the water doesn't circulate at all when the thermostat is fully closed. With no circulation, you're going to get hot spots. The hottest spots will be in
