APW Wyott 2T-1490300 Thermostat, 120F, Non-Adjustable Bime

This is a genuine OEM thermostat, part number 2T-1490300, designed for APW Wyott commercial kitchen equipment. It's a non-adjustable, bimetallic type of thermostat set to trigger at 120°F (approximately 49°C). Bimetallic thermostats use two different metals that expand at different rates when heated, causing a strip to bend and activate a switch, thus controlling the heating element. This component is essential for maintaining precise temperatures in heated holding equipment and ensuring food safety.
