It serves as a temperature-sensing and control component within water heater systems, governing lower-element operation to maintain set-point temperatures. Licensed plumbers and water heater service technicians are the primary installers. The TOD-style form factor and right-hand designation are critical for correct fitment in EEM and American-brand water heater applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thermostat is suited for residential and light-commercial water heater service where a lower-position thermostat replacement is required. The right-hand orientation identifies the physical layout of the sensing bulb and terminal block relative to the unit, making it a direct-fit replacement in the EEM and American water heater platforms specified. Service techs should confirm hand orientation before installation to avoid misfit returns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTOD-style form factor for compatibility with matching water heater thermostat brackets and cavities\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand orientation for correct positioning of sensing bulb and terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnox lower thermostat design for bottom-element temperature control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned as a direct OEM-style replacement for EEM and American water heater units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStated fitment is for right-hand EEM and American water heater models requiring a TOD-style lower thermostat.

Shut off electrical power to the water heater at the breaker and close the cold-water supply valve before beginning work. The lower thermostat mounts against the tank wall behind the lower access panel — ensure the sensing bulb makes full contact with the tank surface and is secured with the original retaining clip or bracket. Follow local plumbing and electrical codes; NEC guidelines apply to the electrical connections on electric water heater thermostats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: TOD (Top-of-Door)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lower Thermostat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONEYWELL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 230013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HONEYWELL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51506753339698,"sku":"230013","price":17.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/knox-230013.jpg?v=1784929769","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/honeywell-230013-lower-thermostat-tod-style","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
