Many variations are available in each style to include fixed or adjustable temperatures, auto or manual resets, Copper/Plated Copper or Stainless steel construction and all variations have multiple mounting options.

The fixed temperature models are typically used for safety or high and low limit applications.

All options are available in both the probe style more typical of a boiler type installation or as a Bulb and capillary tube for more remote temperature sensing.

The 351 series offers numerous mounting options that allow for simple replacement of competitor’s thermostats. 

The temperature range determines when the thermal switch will close, or engage the electrical circuit, and when it will automatically reset, or open. These switches can also be manually reset for when you need to call special attention to a temperature malfunction.
