To Replace a Series 20 Thermostat

Tradeline® T87F Thermostats directly replace series 20 spdt 

thermostats, or thermostats in heating installations that 

require contact on both a rise and fall in temperature (see Fig. 

13).

To wire a series 20 thermostat:

SETTINGS AND CHECKOUT

Temperature Selection

To select the desired temperature, turn the transparent dial 

until the desired point on the setting scale (top scale) is in line 

with the pointer.

On models with range stops the temperature range may be 

limited at either extreme. The left stop is for the low extreme, 

the right stop for the high extreme (see Fig. 14).

Heat Anticipator Adjustment

The thermostat has an adjustable heat anticipator that must 

be set on the number that corresponds to the current rating of 

the primary control of the system (for example; gas valve, oil 

primary).

Fig. 14. T87F interior detail.

 

Fig. 15. Adjust heat anticipator to match current rating of 

primary control.
