Teflon® is a registered trademark of DuPont Co.

GENERAL
Teflon®. The Teflon ® also covers the bulb. The thermostat is
designed for 25 amperes resistive loads for either 120 or 240 Vac.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD. This thermostat is not
intended for use in hazardous atmospheres where
flammable vapors, gases, liquids or other combustible atmospheres are present as defined in
the National Electrical Code. Failure to comply can
result in personal injury or property damage.
NOTICE: Type GNIT Thermostats are designed for temperature
control service only. Because they are not fail safe, they should
not be used for temperature limiting duty.

Application Notes
1. Customer external fuse required.

The system designer is responsible for the safety
of this equipment and should install adequate
back-up controls and safety devices with their
electric heating equipment. Where the consequences of failure could result in personal injury or
property damage, back-up controls are essential.
The GNIT Non-Indicating Corrosive Resistant Thermostat is
designed for applications in atmospheres where corrosive material is
present. The double pole/single throw thermostat is available with
either a 5 foot or 12 foot copper capillary which is sleeved with

Process Temperature Differential — is variation in controlled
process temperature between maximum, when thermostat turns
OFF and minimum, when thermostat turns ON. This spread in
temperature may be minimized by:
1. Making sure control is mounted to vertical surface. (See Step 1,
MOUNTING.)
2. Avoid excess heating capacity (oversized heaters).
3. Locating control sensing bulb in optimum position between
heat source and work.

MOUNTING
Note: Do not mount thermostat where it will be subject to vibration or shock. Do not mount adjacent to a large magnetic contactor, as vibration and shock will cause thermostat to interact erratically — resulting in chattering of the contactor.
The air temperature in and around the thermostat enclosure
should be kept as near to normal room temperature as possible…

never above 150˚F or below 30˚F.
1. Thermostat must be mounted in a vertical position only.
2. Use sheet metal or wood screws through the four 1/4” diameter mounting holes in baseplate to mount control.

MOUNTING
3. NOTICE:
A. Do not bend or deform sensing bulb. This will alter control
calibration.
B. Do not kink capillary tube. The resulting constrictions in
fluid flow can destroy control function or broaden temperature differential. Minimum capillary tube bending diameter
is 1/2” I.D.
C. Any deformations of bulb or capillary that result in leakage
of fluid from control renders control inoperative.
D. Avoid passing control capillary tube through zones which
have temperatures in excess of controlled process temperature. Erratic control or destruction of control function may
result.

WIRING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect all power
before installing or servicing thermostat. Failure
to do so could result in personal injury or property
damage. Thermostat must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Any installation
involving thermostats must be performed by a
qualified person and must be effectively grounded
Note: Terminals provided for thermal fuse or other remote shutdown
device. If no remote device, terminals must be jumpered.

in accordance with the National Electrical Code to
eliminate shock hazard.
1. Electric wiring to thermostat must be installed in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and with local codes by a qualified person. CAUTION: Use copper conductors only.
2. Entrance for wiring is provided by two 1/2” conduit
holes on each side of the unit.
3. Remove four face mounting screws and pull off front cover.
4. Connect wires according to wiring diagrams (Figures 2 & 3).
5. Replace cover and tighten screws.
6. Note: If load amperage or voltage rating exceeds switch rating, a contactor must be used. Contactor and wiring to be supplied by customer.
