Dayton 6EDY5 Line Voltage Thermostat, 120-240V, SPDT

Works as expected

This thermostat can be wired to call for heat or cool. Installed this in a customers greenhouse to control a large fan [like attic fan] Contacts rated for 20amps, the enclosure is made out of thick plastic seemed very strong and durable. It has a 1/2 threaded Opening. I used NM sealtite to connect worked fine. There are four mounting tabs for screwing it to a flat surface. We'll see how it holds up in greenhouse where the temperatures here in Connecticut can swing radically. I liked the plastic enclosure as it would seems to hold up in a damp environment.

I wanted an accurate thermostat that has a narrow range of degrees between starting and stopping. I have 3 of these in service. They all work great. These have the option of working as heating control or cooling control. Simply change one wire inside.Pretty expensive on Amazon....these can be obtained readily elsewhere for a better price.These don't come with the inlet/outlet electrical cord. Somewhat of a hassle to install the cord.But worth it if you want a good thermostat.

This unit has a very wide temperature range. I put it in a free side by side refrigerator that I converted to a two temperature cooler. One side runs at 40 to 44 degrees and the other at 46 to 55 degrees. The 40 to 44 side is the one for which I used this control. I used it to turn the compressor relay off at the temperature I wanted. Put a bypass switch in so I flip a switch to use this side as a freezer. I would definitely purchase again. Great product.

This Dayton thermostat did not function correctly when it was new and right out of the box. With a room temp.of 75 degrees F the unit turned the air cooling system on at the 34 degree set point and off at the 30 degree set point. Control in the 75 degree temp. range was not possible.This unit will be replaced with a different thermostat. The temperature set point is not close to the actual room temperature. It seems as if this product was not tested before being shipped.

Bought this to hook up my older electric hanging heater in my garage. The control voltage was a higher voltage so could not use many of the cheaper t-stats. This cost more than I wanted to spend but is a well built quality item that does what I needed it to do. I would recommend.

Using this one inside our home in the living room. Our home is purposefully set up for a country/rustic theme so it fits in well. Yes, we wanted the coils to show. This model powers and controls the evaporative cooler. We use a Premier Cool evaporative cooler, all stainless steel custom made in Arizona. Unbeatable combination. Was initially trying to find the 1950's vintage metal box thermostat that looks very similar, but this was as close as I could get at the time. Still, it's perfect.
