Why in the heck would a thermostat shoot water when adjusted? We just adjusted the temperature in a classroom at my college, and it started dripping water! The building is not heated by a boiler. Very strange... Can this be dangerous?

Most bigger heating systems in commercial building have air pressure tubed to the tstats,sometimes you`ll get some moisture(water),, all air has moisture and it could build up and comes out the stats,, wouldn`t think it would be of any danger to you,, a little water never hurt anybody,, just don`t drink it

Tell building/facility management that their control air's dryer isnot working properly, stat with water won't work properly,

Hey, thanks guys. We told building maintenance and they haven't gotten to it yet, so the room is now boiling hot ^.^ But what can you do? Thanks again :)
