Is it possible to change the temperature of a water boiler the safe setting is 120 degrees and I want to know if a water boiler can be changed to that setting?

Boiler should be set at max temperature of 180 degrees for proper heating temperature. 120 degrees is temperature for domestic hot water, not heating temperature. Yes, to answer question, but not recommended.Improved answer. -If you are referring to the hot water heater that gives water to your hot faucets this is not generally known as a 'boiler' (a boiler is for hydronic heating) Your faucet supply can be turned down to any setting between 110 and 160. Normal setting is 130-135. with small children it should be 120. - on most heaters there is an adjustment knob on the gas regulator or the lower electric element . It's well marked and easy to adjust.


What is the difference between thermocouple and thermostat?

A thermocouple is a device which generates an electrical charge when heated. It is often used on a boiler to indicate that the pilot light is on and hot, so it should be safe to allow gas to pass to the main burner for heating water, your house, etc. Should the pilot light go out, the thermocouple will sort of "tell" the boiler to shut off the gas, as it isn't safe to fire up. A thermostat is used as a switch, which goes on and off at a certain temperature. For example, in a boiler it will tell the boiler that the water in the circuit is plenty hot enough and that it doesn't need to be heated any more, in your house it will tell your central heating that the room is warm enough and doesn't need heating any more and in your car it would say that your engine is too hot and that the radiator valve should open, and perhaps the cooling fan should turn on.
