Where to get thermal cut-in switch?

cdig · 04-25-11, 12:08 PM

Does anyone know where I can get a thermal cut-in switch for my solar can heater project? And if anyone has built one of these, do you have an idea of the optimal temp to have a fan cut in?

I've been looking around at the usual places, Home Depot, Rona, appliance repair shops, plumbing and heating shops... nobody seems to stock them!!?

These are neat..

Farm Innovators- Premium De-Icers

I was thinking of a T-22 for my attic fan, since it's sensor seems to have developed an insensitivity to heat..

very cool, might have to get one for the tractor block heater next winter. don't think it'll work in my solar can heater application tho.
