The Berko 5813-2027-000 Thermostat is a heavy-duty, field-installable DPDT thermostat kit designed specifically for commercial and industrial zonal heating applications. Engineered for the Berko 342 Series and Berko 345 Series wall heaters, this double pole single throw control ensures total circuit disconnection in the "Off" position for increased safety during maintenance. This mechanical line voltage thermostat operates with a temperature range of 40°F to 90°F, providing precise setpoint control for resistive electric heating loads. The 5813-2027-000 model is rated for up to 25 Amps at 240V or 277V AC, making it a reliable HVAC replacement part for high-wattage fan-forced heaters. Its snap-action switch design prevents arcing and ensures a clean break, maintaining system efficiency in demanding environments. For contractors, this kit simplifies onsite upgrades, fitting seamlessly into the internal housing of compatible Berko units without requiring external enclosures.

Key Benefits for the Jobsite:
  • Direct OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed for Berko and QMark wall heaters, ensuring a perfect fit and correct electrical alignment.
  • Double Pole Disconnect: The DPDT configuration provides a positive "Off" setting, breaking both sides of the line for safer operation.
  • High Ampacity Rating: Built to handle 25A resistive loads, making it suitable for high-capacity industrial heating elements.
  • Simple Field Installation: Includes the necessary mounting hardware and control knob for rapid deployment in the field.
  • Industrial Durability: Rugged mechanical construction avoids the failure points common in digital interfaces when exposed to dust and temperature fluctuations.
Common Questions:

What is the difference between this DPDT model and a SPST thermostat?
The Berko 5813-2027-000 is a double-pole unit, meaning it breaks both lines of a 240V circuit. This provides a true "Off" position, whereas a single-pole unit only breaks one line, leaving the heater energized even when the thermostat is turned down.

Will this thermostat work with 277V electrical systems?
Yes, this line voltage control is rated for 120V, 208V, 240V, and 277V applications, provided the amperage does not exceed the 25A threshold.

Is this kit compatible with any brand of wall heater?
No, this is a proprietary Berko heater accessory. While it may fit some QMark cross-references, it is specifically engineered for the internal mounting brackets of the 342 and 345 series units.
