Repair completed! And for less than $100! Crossing my fingers and watching for leaks. Old fitting had 1" threads and new 3/4 so I had to use a reducer. Should have paid more attention to your reply bostonharbor. Almost crushed new fitting. It was a tight fit but new aquastat fit in. Thanks for the info.

Rectorseal ??? Is that a seal club or something for constipation? hehehhe
