Description
The Rheem-Ruud SP11695 Lower Thermostat is a regulating control used to manage water temperature in electric water heaters connected with systems. It is placed behind the lower service panel, it monitors tank temperature and directs power to the lower heating element when reheating is required. The thermostat operates through a temperature-responsive snap-action switch that cycles electrical flow based on preset temperature settings. Attached directly against the tank surface with standard wiring terminals, it assists balanced hot water recovery, coordinated heating element operation, and consistent temperature regulation across residential and commercial water heating equipment.
