Re: [RE-wrenches] Source for 24v DC clock timer
I suggest you consider using a thermostat instead. It's more logical and nobody needs to remember to turn off / on with the seasons. You can use an AC-rated electric heater thermostat. I've seen them at Lowes, or from Graingers or HVAC suppliers. Also called "line voltage thermostat". It will have a rating of 15A or more. Mount it where it sees temperature range similar to the pipe in question, in a weatherproof box.

Hi wrenches,
Does anyone know a good source for a reliable, reasonably priced 24v DC
clock timer 5-10A run off a relay. We are powering heat tape to mitigate a
vulnerable spot in a water pumping system for a stock tank.
