White-Rodgers F29-0222 Tstat Guard

The White-Rodgers F29-0222 Metal Tstat Guard is a job-site essential for securing HVAC controls in heavy-traffic environments. Engineered with a ring base for versatile mounting, this universal size steel thermostat guard provides a physical barrier against unauthorized temperature adjustments. The unit features a durable 18-gauge steel cover and a 22-gauge frame, finished in a neutral beige enamel to resist corrosion and blending with industrial aesthetics. This tamper-resistant furnace control cover is specifically designed for commercial thermostat protection in schools, government buildings, and industrial facilities. It is cross-compatible with the White-Rodgers Blue series and various 1F80, 1F90, and 1C/1D series controllers. The open ring base design allows for installation over existing thermostats without needing to disconnect wiring from the subbase. Each unit includes a key and a heavy-duty lock assembly to maintain system setpoints and prevent energy waste from manual overrides.

• Universal Compatibility: Fits a wide range of mechanical and digital models, including 1F80 and 1F90 White-Rodgers thermostat series.
• Rugged Construction: Built with high-grade steel to survive the rigors of military, institutional, and industrial applications.
• Installation Efficiency: The ring base allows for a clean fit over pre-installed units, saving time on the service call.
• Security Focus: Durable lock and key system prevents "thermostat wars" and protects sensitive control settings in public spaces.
• Versatile Orientation: Engineered for both horizontal and vertical mounting to match the footprint of existing equipment.

Will this guard fit my specific White-Rodgers digital thermostat?
Yes, the F29-0222 is a universal size steel thermostat guard engineered to accommodate most modern White-Rodgers units, including the 1F80 and Big Blue series, provided they fall within the interior dimensions of 6-5/8" L x 4-1/2" H x 3-3/8" D.

Can I install this without removing the thermostat from the wall?
One of the primary advantages for contractors is the ring base design. This allows you to place the frame around the existing thermostat and secure it to the wall without breaking electrical connections or pulling the subbase.

What is the difference between a ring base and a solid base guard?
A ring base (like the F29-0222) is open in the center, intended for mounting over an already-installed controller. A solid base is a full backplate often used when the thermostat is being mounted directly to the guard frame itself.
