Customer Review: Good basic line-voltage thermostat for attic fans
Summary: 4 Stars
Air Vent Attic Fan Thermostat
(Amazon alternates the product photo between the model with the white label and the model with the blue label. They are virtually identical Air Vent brand attic fan thermostats. "Master Flow" is a product name sometimes used.)
As you can see from the Customer Images of the inside assembly, this is a simple device. It's designed to have the incoming electric line (typically a 14/2 non-metallic cable w/ground) enter one end, and the outgoing cable exit the other end. It doesn't matter which is which. An instruction sheet is included but wiring is as easy as installing a light switch. I.e., twist the incoming white wires together with a wire nut, tighten the incoming ground wires under the green grounding screw, and attach each of the incoming black wires to one of the black wires from the switch (doesn't matter which one).
The instructions recommend setting the thermostat to 105 degrees; that's when the fan would come on. It would then turn the fan off at 97 degrees - i.e., 8 degrees less than the thermostat setting. That seems perfect for an attic exhaust fan. Device has an adjustable dial (60 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit); it works just fine.
A protruding sheet metal "gripper" on each side of the base slips into corresponding holes in the cover to hold it in place when you're through wiring. On the unit I installed, the cover isn't held as securely as it would have been with a couple of screws. It doesn't take much effort to pop one side of the cover off the base. You might want to install the thermostat somewhat away from the fan so years of vibration won't loosen the cover.
I bought this thermostat at our local Home Depot and paid a about a third more than the Amazon price, but I wanted it in a hurry...
Customer Review: Perfect thermostat
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the perfect thermostat for my home theater system. It is fully adjustable and easy to install.
It cost less than half of what other audio/video thermostats sell for, and works great!
I don't know about attic fans, but I would sure recomend this product for home entertainment cabinet cooling applications.
Customer Review: Power vent thermostate
Summary: 3 Stars
The product was fine but the delivery was slow. I had to buy a thermostat locally to replace my vent motor which I received within two days. It took over a week to get the thermostat. I did return it and received a refund. It did cost me the return postage.Customer Review: Works fine
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to wire temperature seems to be accurate.I find it interesting that people give a product a bad rating when really the rant is about the seller not the product??Customer Review: thermostat
Summary: 5 Stars
Altho I have not installed the "adjustable thermostat" yet it is exacitly what I need for the replacement. The service was very quick and accurate.
