Backer 7" Standard Thermostat Manually Resettable

This Backer thermostat has a tapered point - what that means is it can fit most immersion heaters. I've bought three of these over the years - if a thermostat lasts about two years that is good value for money considering they are mass produced and subject to 3kw load. The third one I bought I'm still keeping as a spare years after I fitted number two. A plumber will tell you you need a new element - always try a new thermostat first, a new thermostat might cost you about £20 but you can but an element and thermostat as a unit for about £26.

It arrived very quickly. But it didn't look like the photo on Amazon, which matched the one I was looking to replace. I assume this is because it is a more up to date version of the same model, as it had the same model number, but I found this very misleading. In the end, we didn't need to replace the thermostat, but have kept it as a spare, so I can't comment on if it works or not.

This has be working successfully for many months . It was easily installed and is easily reset if necessary.
