Dayton 6GVX8C Line Volt Mechanical Tstat Cool 50-90°F 120-277VAC

Cooling thermostat for line-voltage circuits

The Dayton 6GVX8C is a single-pole mechanical thermostat that closes on temperature rise to control cooling equipment. It operates directly on 120 to 277 VAC without a separate transformer and handles a 22 A full-load at both 120 and 240 VAC. The control range spans 50 to 90 degrees F with a 2 to 4 degree differential. It suits installers who need a simple, non-programmable switch for direct line-voltage cooling loads.

Replaces older mechanical stats lacking the wide

Earlier single-voltage models force a choice between 120 VAC and 240 VAC stock, while this unit covers the full 120 to 277 VAC range in one device. The jump is worth it when a job site may see either supply and you want one part number on the truck. It does not add programmability, remote sensing or heating control, so buyers who want scheduling or a remote bulb should look elsewhere.

Fits standard junction boxes

At 4 3/4 in high, 2 3/4 in wide and 1 1/2 in deep, the housing mounts in common enclosures and eliminates the need for a separate 24 VAC transformer and relay. The SPST switch action closes on rise, wiring directly into the cooling circuit. Installers must verify the 22 A rating matches the connected load and that the 2 to 4 degree differential meets the application tolerance.
