>> 50F is a cold spell? I was whistling dixie this morning while shoveling snow and ice out of my driveway.
Well, I was *in* Dixie (Baton Rouge) during this horrendous cold spell while you were whistling Dixie. I knew I'd get a reaction to that comment since almost nobody here lives further south. It was in the high 30's last night. Brrr! BTW, what is snow?
>> Supposedly, the bleed hole is important to allow self-bleeding of the system. I used a T-Stat without the bleed hole for 2 years with no apparent ill effects.
I'm not sure why it needs a hole to bleed air out, as it will certainly bleed when the thermostat opens. If important, why didn't they simply drill a small hole, or why couldn't I for that matter? Anyway, a moderate test drive after the replacement shows all temps in the right places, so I guess it's happy.
