Chance,
This size of the foot on your thermostat is quite normal.
The bypass plate has a 0.75 inch diameter hole with an area of 0.442 sq in.
The foot of the thermostat has a 0.66 inch diameter with an area of 0.342
sq in.
The foot of the thermostat can block only 77.4% (0.342 x 100/0.442) of the
bypass plate hole if it is perfectly (unlikely) positioned vertically in
the bypass plate hole.
This means that 22.6% of the water volume which bypasses when the
thermostat is closed can still bypass when the thermostat is open.
A way to eliminate this situation, IMHO, is to totally block the bypass
path and use a Windsor style thermostat.
Have fun today,
