I have a customer who has a 1960's line voltage thermostat...

They want a "modern clock stat".. anyone come across one that fits a standard gem box..

They make digital line voltage setback t-stats. The one they sell at HD is nice and works well.

I use them at work all the time.
I keep that adjustment knob on top, in my tool pouch.
Of course ours don't read in that Celsius scale.

What did you end up using?

Sure they make em. I use the ones from radient systems inc.
The P-8000 is a nice setup. Nebraska company too, which is nice.

Honeywell or Aube. Looks to be the same thing. Mor electric heating has a bunch of different thermostats including those.

I had to run new stat lines and put them in a better location.. the customer also wanted more of a selection for the stats...

I put in (2) cheap LV stats till THEY find something they like...

So you're using a relay instead?

Yes... used a TACO 2- zone relay..

The circulator relays? :blink:

 

[sbrn33]

Sell them a nest

Yes... I have always used that brand when doing LV stats...

I guess I'm missing something here - do the relays control line voltage baseboards? If so, I didn't think the Taco relays had the current rating for that.

I started with line voltage stat to control BB heat.. customer wanted LV clock stats... so I put in a TACO relay...

Ok...how much current are you running through the Taco relay? I thought they were only rated for 10 amps, single pole? :blink:

I think you are really confused... :blink::blink:

The circulator pump takes less than (2) amps....
