White-Rodgers 176-6 Tstat

The White-Rodgers 176-6 is a professional-grade line voltage heating thermostat designed for high-performance control in demanding mechanical environments. This SPST open-on-rise thermostat features a fixed 3F differential and a temperature range of 40F to 80F, ensuring precise thermal regulation for heavy-duty 120V heating systems. Engineered with a locked case and an adjustable limited setting dial, this model prevents unauthorized tampering and maintains system efficiency in commercial or residential settings. The integrated On-No Heat position dial allows for manual system override, while the robust internal switching mechanism provides long-term reliability for electric baseboards and radiant heating loops. Field-ready and built for durability, the 176-6 ensures consistent single-stage heating performance while simplifying the troubleshooting process for contractors managing legacy or high-voltage installations.

Key Benefits

• Tamper-Resistant Design: The locked cover and adjustable limits prevent setpoint drift and unauthorized adjustments in high-traffic areas.
• High Amperage Capacity: Built for 120V line voltage applications, eliminating the need for step-down transformers in specific heating circuits.
• Precision Control: A tight fixed differential of 3F ensures consistent comfort levels and reduces unnecessary system cycling.
• Industrial Durability: Rugged construction suitable for mechanical rooms, warehouses, and commercial spaces requiring reliable White-Rodgers heating controls.

Common Questions

What is the primary application for the White-Rodgers 176-6?
This is a line voltage thermostat specifically designed for 120V heating systems, such as electric baseboard heaters, where a heating only SPST switch is required.

How do I prevent users from setting the heat too high?
The 176-6 features an adjustable limited setting dial within a locked case, allowing technicians to hard-cap the maximum temperature to save energy and protect equipment.

Does this unit support cooling or low-voltage systems?
No, this is a single pole single throw (SPST) device that opens on temperature rise, making it compatible only with heating-specific line voltage applications.
