We installed a new Utica gas fired steam boiler and was curious what the settings should be set at for the pressure cut in and cut out, it has a honeywell control with 2 adjustments one on the top which can be adjusted with a flat screw driver and one inside which is a dial. The one on the top we set at 0.5 the white wheel we set at 1.5 one is the cut in and one is the cut out. Any information would be great. We installed it today and it seems good so far.
Any tips would be great, thank you..
 
Not sure if you've got it set right, but I do seem to recall that steam boilers don't need a lot of pressure, the empire state building uses between 1.5-3 PSI of pressure so it sounds about right. Don't know if they're good boilers, I do see them now and again as a real estate broker, but mostly it's Burnham, Weil Mclain, maybe they're more popular in the NY/NJ area.
