Honeywell T4398A1021/U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is this a line voltage thermostat or a low voltage one?
Line voltage. The T4398A1021/U wires directly into the heater circuit at 120, 208, 240 or 277 Vac and switches the load itself through an SPST contact, single stage heat. It is not a 24V thermostat and will not run a furnace or boiler control circuit. If you are controlling a gas furnace or a system with a 24V transformer, you need a low voltage thermostat instead.
2) What outlet box does this Honeywell baseboard thermostat mount on?
It mounts directly on a vertical 2 x 4 in. outlet box, or on a 4 x 4 in. box. Mounting orientation is vertical, and the body measures 4-1/2 in. high x 2-7/8 in. wide x 2-5/8 in. deep (115 x 73 x 67 mm), so allow for that depth off the box. The base is plastic.
3) Can I limit how high tenants can set the heat on this thermostat?
Yes. Range stops ship with the T4398A1021/U, so you can cap the top and bottom of the adjustment within the 50 F to 80 F setting range. Locking cover screws are included as well, which matters in multi-family and hospitality where you do not want the cover coming off. A thermometer is also in the box.
4) Will this thermostat connect to aluminum branch wiring?
It comes with 6 in. (150 mm) copper leadwires, which are suitable for connecting to aluminum wiring if approved CO/ALR connectors are used. Straight wire nuts on copper-to-aluminum are not the approved method.
5) How tight does this Honeywell thermostat hold room temperature?
Accuracy is 1 C with a 2 F (1 C) differential, using a vapor filled dual diaphragm sensing element that reacts quickly to temperature change. For a rental unit or hotel room on baseboard heat, that is tighter swing than a basic bimetal stat. The cover carries a thermometer so occupants can read actual room temperature.
6) Is the Honeywell T4398A1021/U UL listed and CSA approved?
Both. It is UL Listed under File No. E4436, Guide No. XAPX, and CSA Listed under File No. LR1322. That covers specification work on the US and Canadian sides.
7) Where can this thermostat be installed, and are there environments it should not go in?
Ambient operating range is 50 F to 80 F (10 C to 25 C), so it belongs in conditioned occupied space, not an unheated garage, attic or mechanical room where it will sit well below that. It also should not be used on inductive loads; it is rated for resistive baseboards, convectors and fan forced heaters.
8) What color is this thermostat, and will it match other Honeywell devices in the building?
The finish is Honeywell Premier White. It is a Tradeline item, so it is the stocking version a contractor or distributor orders for repeat work across a building.
