Line thermostat

[sberry]

I wouldn't mind finding a couple things and since this is a big waste of space wondered if someone knew right off where a line thermostat with a bulb might be, spose it could even be a cordless thingy today.
Something else I was needing or could use is a tempurature alarm for freezers?

I would look into plumbing tstat for a boiler. I beleive they have some line voltage suff that can be set for normally open or closed based on temp

Look in the Grainger catalog, find what you want then search for a better price.

Bulb meaning a mercury switch??

I want a bulb with a capillary tube, maybe 3 ft or so and a simple 120 line v thermostat. It could even be plug in. Grainger is a good idea.

A Taco sr501 relay has N/O and N/C 120v contacts used to run circulators. You can use a 2 wire 24v tstat from the factory installed transformer to open and close them.

I forgot about this thread and my tech just left, was going to show him the perfect part. We wont need it for a couple weeks yet and I may get 2 of them if I find a deal. He built some non spark heating element for my steamer truck box that has water on for fire truck.
Its kind of crude and I close and drain but its got 2 small engines in it with fuel in the tanks, we have any electrical contacts outside the box.
It was a mild winter and I added 100 watt lamp to the original heater I think may have been 300 watts, he fix it to 500 now that we have a grip compared to actual degree days etc. I put an electronic thermometer with remote in as I couldn't find a fuggin simple one anymore but with 500 gallons of water and someone walking by it on occasion to make sure its working all is well.
Its in the insulated truck box and I keep it in my storage which is cold. Didn't use it a single time last winder and its worth the 15$ a month in heat to have it out of the way, if I was working with it would pull in to heated shop at night but I don't want to work around it all winter to keep it warm. 45 degrees is ok, if I was really anticipating work would warm it up a little.
I have maybe 60 ft of 1 1/2 hose from the orange pump hooked up. I used it to wash dirt from a big stump we dug up. Maybe 8 minutes or so to unload 500 gallons. Will shoot a stream on top of a 2 story house. Maybe as far as 75 ft. I can hook a 3/4 garden hose to it, pathetic in delivery compared to the big hose,,, like putting a 3/4 air gun on a 1/4 hose

S.Berry, I have a therm. that you plug into the wall and then plug a torpedo heater into it. Is this what you are asking about. I have a spare if you want to try it. Let me know and I can stick it into the mail for you. Rich

I need to put the sensing part in the truck and want the switching outside. If this truck was for hire would have the fuel tanks outside. I probably drained the steamer,,, actually pressure washer but want to leave the fuel in the water pump so its ready to go. That is a great offer but see if I need it yet.
