The White Rodgers 03L11-160 series bimetal disc thermostats are designed for use in a wide range of appliance and HVAC applications. These thermostats utilize a bimetallic strip that bends or flexes in response to temperature changes, triggering an electrical contact to open or close. They feature loose ring construction with stainless steel mounting brackets, quick connect terminations, and automatic reset functionality. Available in both open-on-rise and close-on-rise configurations, these thermostats offer reliable temperature control for various industrial and commercial applications.
