I have a 10 FOOT electric baseboard heater unit with it's own thermostat I would like to use this thermostat on. Will this thermostat safely work?

The Specifications for RLV3120 Honeywell non-programmable Thermostat are as follows: Supply 120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, Minimum Load 0.83 Amps, 200 Watts @ 240 VAC, 100Watts @ 120 VAC (resistive only) Maximum Load 8.3 Amps, 2000 Watts @ 240 VAC, 1000 Watts @ 120 VAC So if you have a baseboard heater that is meeting these specifications, it should work. I am using it on a baseboard heater that is only 4 feet long (in a small room) and well within the specs. I suspect 10 feet may have issues, so you may want to try a different thermostat, possibly such as Honeywell RLV3100A1017.

If the thermostat is on the wall (not the type mounted on or integrated directly into the baseboard itself) then I imagine it will work just fine

A 10' heater is too much for that thermostat. It is supposed to work up to 2000watts and 8.33amps but it doesn't operate right for an 8' which is 2000watts. I tried to get Honeywell to help me but they couldn't be bothered. Specs say 250watts per foot for baseboard heat. I have several of these on 8' applications and I am stuck with them because of Honeywells lack of cooperation.

No, as stated in the manual, the thermostat will only work on the high heat setting. I own this model and have comfirned that in practice as well.

No. It is not compatible unless a relay is used. This particular heater is 240 volts. It needs a thermostat that installs on either end to regulate the unit.

as long as the temp slide and switches are in the same places and have the exact same functions then yes they are both analog thermostats and should mate with the board up in the unit. be sure to turn off the breaker going to the unit in question before you touch th old thermostso you don't short and blow the upper control board while changing out the thermostat and wires accidentally touch. good luck.

I installed a remote thermostat to the unit I purchased. I wired it up to 240vac, since that voltage provided the highest output wattage. The unit works perfectly. I purchased the thermostat that was suggested/purchased along with the heater. You can also install a thermostat directly on the front panel of the heater.

It says it does not but I don't know why it wouldn't - I have a gas boiler with baseboard heaters and used this to replace my old thermostat. Just connected the wires and away we went.

Yes. It should work just fine. This kit comes with the wire harness wired to two heaters and a thermostat. It took 5 min to install..

I have not used this thermostat. Unfortunately I did not read it's use very well and did not need a thermometer for baseboard heat. Sorry

I think the shortest length is 3 feet and the thermostat device is about 3 inches long so I don't think it would work.

I have 5 of them and none run warm however all are controlling less than 75% of their capability. If you are running at max wattage rating it may run warm. I would check your current draw to ensure you are not exceeding the wattage ratting. Wattage=current x voltage, if you have a 220 volt line and the heater is drawing 10 amps your wattage is 2,200. Your baseboard should have a wattage rating on it so you should not have to actually measure the amperage with a meter, just make sure it is less than the rating of the thermostat.

If the existing thermostat just closes a low voltage circuit it should work. That's most two wire thermostats. The only other considerations are the minimum run time and the low & high set point. You can adjust the temp spread on this unit using jumpers inside it.

I have a Coleman propane gas heater (no a/c unit) in the cabin. I have already run a common wire since they ran 5 strand wire. Will this work,my router is one story up.

If there are 2 leads, it should work. You will need to install a GIF prior to the thermostat.

I have water baseboard heat and a central air system with ductwork that runs through my attic. I have one of these thermostats and it controls both except I have two heating zones and a separate thermostat for the second zone. It works fine but I don't like the programming, it is a bit confusing to set and a pain to change the program settings.

No. You just have to make sure the connectors to your existing thermostat are compatible with this one. You can look at the one you have now and see if it is not by the online compatibility. I did not. And mine was not compatible.
1987260
Yes, and it needs to be a special type that is compatible with the heater. The safest choice is to get the one the Toe Kick Heater Company recommends. I thought I could save money by buying the thermostat someplace else. It was then wrong kind.
