Hello
I just put in a double gang elctrical workbox with a 20 Amp duplex outlet. The bottom has constant AC for the pellet stove with the surge protector. The top AC outlet is on the interior light switch for the hearth rope lighting.
The other half of the double gang work box contains the connector for the thermostat. Got all these parts except T-Stat at home depot. Cheaper than Lowes even if I did get the 5% with their charge card!!
Anyways the thermostat wire from the pellet stove can be inserted into the holes and the gold contact screwed down over it. For alot more money the wire could be attached to bannana plugs and pluged right in!
Anyway, the wire from the back of the bannana jacks goes thru the wall to the room T-stat. It is a Lux DMH110 lighted version from Lowes and can be used for a 24v heat system that the Pelpro needs.
Before it goes to the T-stat it goes into the octagonal workbox below it, where the 2 conductor feed wire comes in from the main house. Then a wire goes from this box to the T-Stat.
So if I connect a SPST toggle in the main house to close one of the leads to the T-Stat, then the T-Stat could be turned on from the main house and the pellet stove would start. Is it that simple??
I will need 50 feet of 18-2 for the whole job!
See pics below.
Last pic shows Stove fire up after switch was turned on but only 37 Deg inside so I will have supper and then go out to a warm shed!!
