I have a vertical thermostat, but I want to install new one horizontal. What I can do with this product?

This is a small on, they make a larger one. It will replace it, depending on the size of the hole you have. That's all I know.

I used this product to successfully and securely mount a new thermostat horizontally in place of the original thermostat that was mounted vertically on a metal junction box that was attached to a wall stud. The package contains two plastic coverplates and one metal adapter. The metal adapter is the critical piece; it converts a vertical mount to a horizontal mount. I attached the metal adapter to the metal junction box and then attached the new thermostat to the metal adapter. Neither of the two plastic cover plates were compatible with my new thermostat so they could not be used. Since the new thermostat was smaller than the original thermostat I am left with an unsightly mess of unpainted drywall that the plastic coverplate was intended to cover. Some repainting was required to finish the job. I am not a tradesman and do not do this for a living. I tried three different Honeywell coverplates and none of them was compatible with my new Honeywell thermostat. However, this coverplate at least provided a metal adapter that allowed the new thermostat to be mounted horizontally on a vertical junction box.

Unless your local codes, etc. allow unlicensed homeowners to modify their wiring, I would urge contacting a reputable licensed electrician to set up your thermostat and attach the wiring. You can safely install the heat element mats and the thermostat sensor wire under your flooring by closely following the instal instructions - in particular extra care to see that heat element wires are not nicked. You're electrician will check for this before wiring in to the household power. It is a good product and wonderful,economical heat when complete. - Hope this helps!

I would contact Frigidaire - they shipped out a new control panel when a Frigidaire a/c I ordered for a friend of mine arrives mauled by UPS - or search on ebay for this, and "save this search" so it will look through new listings daily - also, I eventually bought plexiglass, and cut it to make a better filler than the installation stuff it came with - and I taped GILA window film to the plexiglass so it matched my existing windows, and reflected the summer heat -

Horizontal mounting not advised. This controller is designed to be mounted vertically for the best air flow over the vertical cooling fins on the back. Leave 5+ inches clear above and below for warm air to escape. Might be able to mount horizontal using spacers and a fan(?) but vertical works best.

Someone can find a way. but I use a landlord thermostat and I use this for a cover

You don't. I returned this tstat because when I received it, I found the circuit board didn't have a floor sensor spot. It is often shown with radiant floors, on Amazon, something which I gave Amazon feedback about, but Amazon basically told me that if people buy the two together, even if it is wrong, their system will group it. The way this one checks temp is by an air temp sensor built into the unit, so your floor can get baking hot, before it really does much to the air, which means while it CAN work, it CANNOT work well or efficiently for radiant. Options include ones like Sunstat which makes a digital and a analog version. I have the digital, and it works great. Secondly...when installing a floor sensor (before you set your tiles), install 2 spaced several feet apart. Run both wire leads to the thermostat, label one as backup, and don't connect it, and use the other. If you ever have to replace a tile and accidentally cut the sensor wire, it is useless...and having a backup sensor already run, makes switching the wiring a MUCH cheaper and faster solution, than breaking up a row of tiles in order to lay a new sensor under the tile again. I got a second sensor wire for around 10 bucks, and (knock on wood) have not needed to use it. Also, if your sensor wire comes from the manufacturer with a short or break in it, because of the time you wait for the floor to cure before activating it, you won't find out about a problem until after you have done all the work...then having a problem can be pretty frustrating.

Hey if I turn my my performance all the way up. Will I need other upgraded parts like thermostats.

From the looks of it, I suppose you could but I would get another opinion by someone more knowledgeable than myself about where to install products like this. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No, not a problem at all. The thermostat has inputs (places for wires) for heat, fan, AC, heat pumps and sensors. See the install manual here: http://www.venstar.com/Support/Manuals/T5800ManualRev5b.pdf

NO. Not to my satisfaction. I have the exact same thermostat. I tried to replace a vertically mounted thermostat with the WIFI thermostat which mounts horizontally. The rounded surface of the cover plate did not match with the flat surface of the thermostat. Besides that, it looked ugly. The thermostat was small and rectangular in shape and the cover plate was curvy and convex.

I don't know a specific answer to your question, however when I was installing mine, I had a wire that I didn't know what to do with. I contacted RCS (check their web site) and received prompt and courteous support. My thermostat works great!

Wonder if he's trying to transfer programming from a Trane thermostat. In which case, I'd say just decide what you want and program the new thermostat, ignoring what the old thermostat was doing.

Hmm... I don't know the correct answer to your question. I imagine that you probably can install it horizontally. However, I don't know if there is some mechanism that will work incorrectly if it is tilted on its side. This is a great tank heater though. I haven't had any problems with it and it maintains a constant temp.

You need 5 wires for this, but have options. First, I'd pull the thermostat and check the cable closely. There may be a 5th wire in the cable (not used on your old thermostat) that's been cut off or pushed back into the wall. If not, you can use the "Venstar Add-A-Wire 5 Wire to 4 Wire Adapter" to avoid having to replace the cable. You can download the manual to check color code and compatibility with your unit.

I don't think it is designed for vertical vents. It works fine on my horizontal vents though.

We installed this on our Queen Head Board even though we have a King. So I do not see how installing vertically would help me.

No, the heater should NOT be mounted vertically, as per manufacturers instructions, horizontal only.
