The L4081B1047 is a controller from Resideo (Honeywell Home) that senses boiler water temperature and switches the burner, the circulator, or both. It operates over the range printed on the control, with SPST contacts.
The aquastat is the control that keeps a hydronic boiler inside its working band. It holds the water hot enough to serve a call for heat and shuts the burner down before the boiler reaches a temperature the relief valve would have to handle.
A control that serves as high or low limit covers both jobs depending on how it is wired and where the bulb sits. As a high limit it shuts the burner down at the top of the range; as a low limit it keeps a minimum boiler temperature so a tankless coil or an indirect tank always has hot water to draw from.
When you replace an aquastat, match the temperature range, the switch action and the differential to the control coming out, not to the boiler nameplate. A boiler will happily run on a control with the wrong range — it will simply cycle badly, or trip a limit that was never meant to be the working control.
The sensing bulb belongs in an immersion well, filled with heat conductive compound, threaded into the tapping the boiler manufacturer provided for it. A bulb strapped to the outside of a pipe reads the pipe, not the water, and it reads it late.
