Frequently Asked Questions - TKIT-2BW KING

What is the difference between TKIT-1 and TKIT-2?

TKIT-1 is single pole (breaks one line) and TKIT-2 is double pole with positive OFF (breaks both lines). TKIT-2 is recommended for 208/240V applications.

Can I use this thermostat with 120V heaters?

Yes, the TKIT-2 can be used on 120, 208, 220, or 240V. For 120V, ensure the heater is compatible and wire according to the diagram.

How do I wire the thermostat?

Connect the red wires to the breaker (line), black wires to the heater (load), and white neutral wires to the heater neutral. Turn off power before wiring.

What is the maximum load for this thermostat?

For resistive loads: 25 A up to 240V (6000 W) and 18 A at 277V (4985 W). For inductive loads: 1/2 HP.

Does the thermostat have a positive OFF position?

Yes, the TKIT-2 double pole model features a positive OFF that completely disconnects both power lines.

What is the temperature accuracy?

Accuracy is ±7°F (±3.5°C) due to the bimetal mechanical sensor.

Can I mount the thermostat in any orientation?

It should be mounted vertically using the provided bracket. The dial should be easily accessible through the heater grill.

What heaters are compatible with this thermostat?
