Dual Element Upper Water Heater Thermostat, 170Deg.

Dual Element Upper Water Heater Thermostat, 170Deg.

The SP8293 dual element upper water heater thermostat is a common residential electric water heater control that manages temperature and safety shutoff in non-simultaneous systems (only one heating element runs at a time). It features an adjustable thermostat range up to 170°F and a manual reset high-limit safety set to 190°F, helping prevent overheating—because “surprise boiling” is not a feature.
