RE: Weir Stat thermostats

Hey Markus, Yes I see some obvious differences at the pin and the collar. On the old one the Weir's are formed into the collar. The collar on the new one doesn't appear to have any weirs. On the new one, are the weirs on the barrel? Weirs are just notches. Can you identify any weirs on the new one? Maybe a close up of the inside of the barrel in the vicinity of the collar.

Standard-Thomson invented the Weir-Stat. They filed a patent on it which I'm sure is long expired. Gates bought Standard-Thomson. 'Weir-Stat' is a copyrighted name. Stant also makes Weir stats but probably can't use the 'Weir-Stat' name. I'm sure others make them too.
