BROAN-NuTone 87W Stat Snap
The BROAN-NuTone 87W Stat Snap is a rugged line voltage wall thermostat engineered for direct control of electric heating systems in residential and light commercial environments. As a veteran-grade mechanical thermostat, it utilizes a snap-action switch that opens on temperature rise, providing reliable single pole single throw (SPST) operation without the need for external transformers or batteries. This wall-mounted thermostat is purpose-built for compatibility with Broan-NuTone heater models 114, 120, 124, and 128, ensuring seamless integration into existing HVACR infrastructures. The unit supports a wide voltage range of 120V, 240V, and 277V AC, with non-inductive contact ratings of 22A for 120-240V and 19A for 277V. Featuring a durable white plastic faceplate and an easy-to-read dial, it allows for precise temperature regulation from 40°F to 80°F. For contractors, this line voltage control offers a straightforward solution for maintaining thermal stability in kickspace or wall-mount heating applications.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Engineered specifically for high-amperage Broan electric heaters, including kickspace and wall-integral units.
- High Load Capacity: Rated for up to 22A at 240V AC, making it suitable for heavy-duty heating circuits without auxiliary relays.
- Snap-Action Reliability: The mechanical snap-action switch reduces arcing and ensures a decisive "on/off" response to temperature changes.
- Streamlined Installation: Designed as a separate wall-mounted control, simplifying the wiring process for field technicians.
- Precise Control: The 40°F to 80°F range is ideal for both freeze protection and standard comfort heating requirements.
Is the BROAN-NuTone 87W compatible with exhaust fans?
No, this unit is a line voltage thermostat specifically designed for heating equipment and is not recommended for use with exhaust or ventilation fans.
Can I use this thermostat for low-voltage 24V systems?
No, the 87W is a line voltage thermostat. It is designed to switch the primary power to the heater (120V to 277V) and should not be used in low-voltage control circuits.
Does this unit require a neutral wire?
As an SPST mechanical switch, it breaks one leg of the power supply. Always follow local electrical codes for grounding and terminal connections during installation.
