> I'm sure you and the nameless vendor probably have different definitions
of "correct". Yours includes the jiggle valve, theirs is probably just that
it fits and opens at the right temperature. I'm fairly confident they will
not reimburse you for a part that's already been installed and used.

level and topping it off you'll probably be fine, with or without messing
with the thermostat. If you do end up doing the job again, I would suggest
replacing the sender for the gauge and boiling the t-stat before
installation to be sure it opens up correctly.
