Slab thermostats

i find the tekmar stats to be the most solid i've come across, not cheap at all, just my opinion though. lately however we've been using Heatlinks new Statlink <a href="http://www.heatlinkgroup.com/images/46443.gif">basic electronic thermostats</a> , they accept a slab sensor and are an economical choice for people with many radiant micro-zones.

    Slab thermostats

    Just wondering what slab thermostats you guys are using. I ordered a Tekmar D508 and a D079 slab sensor. The stat is about 2 inches square and looks really cheap. I have used Tekmar controls a lot and think they work great.I'm not questioning the function of the thermostat, my customer just doesn't like the way it looks and I have to agree with her.

    that tekmar stat

    is in dire need of an "American-ized" update. it is very hard to get all the 6 wires into the enclosure, especially with solid t-stat wire.

    I prefer to mount them over a rough in box, but you need the optional backing plate, pretty expensive and it barely covers the box.

    I'd like to see it in a traditional 2X4 size with a backing plate that has the wiring connections, instead of balancing it in your hand and trying to wire it.

    I really like the features and performance, very customer friendly. I buy them under the Wirsbo name, less $$ in my area.

    Good things come in small packages. The wiring is a bear but there's no arguing about the functionality.


  • Looks Cheap?

    What thermostat doesn't?

    I think it's one of the nicer ones I've seen, personally. I'd be curious what others think are 'snazzy' looking?
