Camco 8123 Lower Water Heater Thermostat 110-160F

Product Description

The CAMCO 8123 is a lower-position Therm-O-Disc style thermostat designed for residential water heater applications. It controls the lower heating element by sensing tank water temperature and cycling the element on or off to maintain the set point. The 8123 operates across a temperature range of 110 to 160 degrees F, covering the full span of typical domestic hot water service temperatures. Licensed plumbers and water heater service technicians are the primary installers of this component during thermostat replacement or element service calls.

This thermostat is intended for use in electric storage-tank water heaters that use a dual-element, dual-thermostat configuration. In that setup, the lower thermostat governs the lower element and handles the bulk of daily heating demand. The Therm-O-Disc style is a widely used format in residential water heater service, making this a common replacement part for routine maintenance and repair work.
