Older line voltage thermostat for a 24v system?

[MatBirch]

I'm installing a king ceiling mounted heater which has a built in transformer and t-stat connection for 24 volts. Can I use a King line voltage thermostat that I have here? Isn't a switch a switch? I understand going the other direction may be a bad idea at times if the switch was not rated to handke the current...

Thanks!

You can use it *but* the anticipator won't work. All that means is that it may overheat the space by a degree or two.

Thanks a bunch! Nothing better than NOT waiting on the purchasing dept.!
