Mechanical Water Heater Time Switch

The T104-20 is a mechanical time switch designed to regulate electric water heaters. It operates on a 24-hour cycle with a double-pole single-throw configuration rated for 208-277V. Daily run times are adjustable from 1 to 23 hours using trippers. This device helps shift electricity consumption into off-peak periods to lower utility costs.

Replaces manual switching for single heaters

This unit upgrades from manual on-off control by automating the daily schedule for one water heater. The jump is worth it when you want predictable load shifting without digital programming. It is not for installations needing multiple independent circuits, multi-day programming, or remote monitoring capabilities.
