12-Pack Mechanical Cool-Only Thermostat
The Emerson 1C21-101 is a low-voltage mechanical thermostat designed for single-stage cooling-only systems. Each unit uses rugged snap-action contacts, a fixed heat anticipator and a bimetal thermometer. The mercury-free design operates across a 50-90 degree F temperature range. This pack contains twelve thermostats with mounting hardware and instructions.
Suits basic cooling control, not heat or multi-stage
Homeowners and contractors needing simple, reliable cooling control for compatible single-stage systems will find this thermostat straightforward to install and operate. Buyers who require heating capability, multi-stage cooling control or programmable scheduling should look at alternative models that support those functions. The mechanical interface offers no digital display or smart-home connectivity.
Mounting hardware and instructions included
Each thermostat ships with the necessary mounting hardware and a printed manual, so installers can complete the job without sourcing separate parts. The bundled instructions guide wiring for low-voltage cool-only circuits. No additional software, batteries or accessories are supplied or required for basic operation.

Questions about this item
Do I need a low-voltage single-stage cooling system already installed for this 1C21-101 thermostat to work?
Yes, the 1C21-101 is designed for single-stage cool only systems that use low-voltage wiring.
Will the 1C21-101 thermostat replace an older mercury thermostat on the same two-wire cooling circuit?
This mercury-free mechanical thermostat uses snap-action contacts and a fixed heat anticipator, so it can replace an older mercury unit on a compatible low-voltage cooling circuit.
How can I confirm the 1C21-101 is operating correctly after mounting it on the wall?
Set the dial between 50 and 90 degrees F; the air conditioner should cycle on when the room temperature rises above the set point and shut off once it reaches that temperature.
