It controls the electric heating element by opening and shutting the circuit at a fixed setpoint of 160 degrees F, maintaining target water temperature and protecting against overheating. This thermostat assembly is a direct-replacement component installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians during routine maintenance or element-related service calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thermostat assembly is used in electric water heater systems that rely on a single heating element controlled by a single-pole, single-throw switching arrangement. It is suited for residential storage-tank water heaters where the thermostat mounts directly to the tank surface and senses water temperature through the tank wall. Installers reference TOD 331642 as a cross-reference identifier for this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed 160 degrees F setpoint for consistent temperature control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-element SPST design for straightforward circuit switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect-replacement thermostat assembly format for simplified installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCross-references TOD 331642 for service and sourcing verification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement thermostat assembly for Bradford White electric storage-tank water heaters that use a single-element SPST thermostat configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician.
