Yes, the non-thermostatic Mocal Plate does not have a large, machined threaded hex cap on one end. Whereas a Thermostatic does. It is easy to spot. It is the only machined, shiny piece on the sandwich plate near the fittings.
If there is a leak, double check that they tightened the following:
- 25mm Sandwich Plate Bolt
- adapter fittings on sandwich plate
- Hose fittings attaching to adapter fittings
Might want to also make sure that the installed did not pinch the O-ring on the sandwich plate.
