Taco SR503 Switching Relay
I'm currently expanding a hot water system from 1 to 3 zones. I'm adding a Taco SR-503 Switching Relay to control the system. Currently the wiring at the gas valve and Aquastat is 24 volt. The SR-503 calls for 120vac to be wired to the Honeywell L4006A Aquastat. I can't wire 120vac to the gas valve so how do I connect the Aquastat to the gas valve?
Thanks

Sherm, I don't understand your question...
Where was/is the original thermostat wired to the boiler ?
Was/is the original thermostat a low voltage, or a line voltage thermostat ?
X1 and X2 on the SR503 are 'dry contacts' ... not 120 V ...
what boiler ?
I've gotta go out for a while, be back later.

Taco SR-403
The Boiler is a very old National Boiler made by Crane. It's Model # 3W99APA.
The current thermostat is 24vac. It is wired to the transformer and to the TT on the gas valve. The Transformer wire goes from the Aquastat to the TR on the gas valve.
What do you mean by dry contacts? My understanding is when the relay kicks in these contacts carry 120vac. Is this incorrect?
Since the current Thermostat, Gas valve and Aquastat are all operating on 24vac, if the SR-403 is putting 120vac into the equation, I don't know how to deal with it.
I've been told I can change the burner in this boiler to a more efficient model. Do you know if this is true?

The thermostats wire to the TT terminals on the SR503.
X1 and X2 on the SR503 wire to _where the existing thermostat was wired on the boiler_
in other words, X1 and X2 _replace_ the existing thermostat connections at the boiler.
No thermostat is wired to X1 and X2 ...
