Description

Weil-McLain 381-356-586 Outdoor Temperature Sensor Kit
An outdoor air temperature sensor kit used with compatible Weil-McLain boiler controls to enable outdoor reset, which adjusts the boiler's target water temperature based on outdoor temperature to improve operating efficiency.

Key Features:
  • Outdoor temperature sensor kit for outdoor reset control (outdoor-air-based target water temperature adjustment).
  • Kit includes: temperature sensor, wire harness, and instructions.
  • Designed to connect to the boiler ignition control module (per Weil-McLain bulletin).
  • SupplyHouse lists this item as an accessory and notes it replaces 510-312-218.

Compatibility & Applications:
  • Gas boiler models listed by Weil-McLain bulletin: GV90+ (Series 2), CGa (Series 2), CGi (Series 3), and EG (Series 5, water only).
  • Weil-McLain CGi brochure lists an "Outdoor Reset Kit" (part #381-356-586) as additional equipment for CGi boilers.
  • Must only be used where the manufacturer specifies this exact part number: 381-356-586.

Installation & Operation Notes:
  • Installation should be performed by a qualified boiler/HVAC service professional.
  • Follow the boiler's service/installation manual and the kit instructions; Weil-McLain specifies the kit connects to the boiler ignition control module.
  • Outdoor reset operation: the control strategy lowers the boiler target water temperature when outdoor air temperature is above design conditions, improving efficiency by allowing operation at cooler temperatures when used properly.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting:
  • If the displayed outdoor temperature is inaccurate or causes improper operating behavior (example discussed in Q&A: unit entering "summer mode" unexpectedly), SupplyHouse Q&A directs customers to contact Weil-McLain directly for troubleshooting guidance.
  • Q&A guidance also indicates one sensor should not be shared across two boilers; one kit is needed per boiler/control and sharing can lead to control/transformer issues.
  • Diagnostics and replacement decisions should follow the boiler documentation and manufacturer guidance for the specific control/series.

Certifications & Compliance:
  • Weil-McLain bulletin notes the kit meets the "automatic, inferred-heat load control operation" referenced under Department of Energy Part 430 energy conservation program requirements

User Reviews & Q&A Summary:
  • Reviews commonly report it works as intended and enables outdoor reset behavior on compatible boilers (often described as improved modulation/operation once installed).
  • Frequent themes include straightforward installation for experienced installers and positive fulfillment comments (fast shipping/availability).
  • Q&A themes focus on series/model compatibility (e.g., GV90+ Series 2, CGi Series 3) and proper application rules (one sensor per boiler; troubleshooting/calibration questions are directed to Weil-McLain).

Fixed problem

My old sensor was stuck at 52. This was easy to change. New sensor was reading 10 degrees high,but was able to adjust it on boiler. Now boiler is adjusting properly to outside temperature.

The missing sensor

Many of the new higher efficiency boilers have the capacity to use an outside temperature sensor but some manufacturers don't include it. Supply House helped me understand why this sensor is important and how simple it was to add. Should have done this 2 yrs ago. Thanks Supply House crew

Hopefully, I won't need to make this repair again.

It was simple easy to replace and worked like a charm. Was also impressed that I got the part the day after I ordered it! Would definitely use Supply House again.

This was exactly what I needed and easy installation

My boiler has this outdoor temperature sensor to help save fuel. The heat wouldn't come on the other day when the thermostat was calling for heat. Checking the boiler information display, it said "Warm Weather Shutdown". After some research in my owner's manual I realized that this boiler will not heat the house if the outside temperature as sensed by this outside temperature sensor is above a preset temperature. On my Weil Mclain gas boiler that temperature was set at 60 F. The actual temperature outside according to my thermometer in the yard was 54 F. Looking around on the boiler's information display I found where the outside temperature sensor for the boiler was indicating 78F, or 24 F above actual outside temperature. I located the sensor on the north side of my house and pulled the cover off and disconnected one wire, and rechecked the temperature indicated on the boiler information display. It now read "open", indicating that the wire was not simply shorted. I ordered this new temperature sensor and it fit perfectly. Easy install with only one screw and two spring clips for the wires, easily released with a pocket screwdriver. It fixed the problem and the display reads the correct outside temperature now.
