  • $37.49


The Berko M602W Thermostat is a high-amperage line voltage thermostat designed specifically for heavy-duty electric heating applications. This wall mount thermostat features a double pole (DPST) snap action switch, ensuring a positive "off" position for safety and system isolation. Built for reliability in demanding environments, it operates within a 45 to 75 degree F range with a tight 4 degree F differential, providing precise control for baseboard heaters, radiant ceilings, and fan-forced heating units.

Engineered to handle significant electrical loads, the Berko M602W is rated for 22 Amps at 120-240V and 18 Amps at 277V. The bi-metal sensing element is highly responsive to both ambient air temperature and radiant heat, while the large adjustment knob allows technicians and end-users to set parameters easily. The unit is UL and CSA approved, making it a standard choice for contractors looking for a rugged, 2-pole thermostat that can withstand the cycling demands of commercial and residential electric heat.

Key Benefits
  • High Load Capacity: Supports up to 22 Amps, making it compatible with high-wattage electric baseboard and wall heaters.
  • DPST Switch Action: Double pole design provides a mechanical disconnect of both power lines in the "off" position for increased safety during maintenance.
  • Snap Action Response: Bi-metal element reduces arcing and provides a crisp, reliable transition for heating cycles.
  • Universal Compatibility: Works across a wide voltage range including 120V, 208V, 240V, and 277V AC systems.
  • Simple Interface: Robust, easy-to-clean white cover with a high-visibility control knob for straightforward operation.
Common Questions

Can I use this thermostat for 120V and 240V heaters?
Yes, the Berko M602W is rated for line voltage applications ranging from 120V to 277V. Ensure the total amperage of the connected load does not exceed 22A for 240V or 18A for 277V.

Is this a digital or mechanical thermostat?
This model utilizes a mechanical bi-metal snap action switch. While some listings may refer to its electronic sensitivity, it does not require batteries and operates as a traditional line voltage control.

Does this thermostat have a definite 'OFF' position?
Yes, because this is a double pole thermostat, it includes a positive 'OFF' position that breaks both sides of the electrical circuit for safety.
