Thermal Fusing
Thermal fuses / cutoffs are used as high limit protection devices to guard the object being heated from dangerous temperatures in the event of a primary control device failure. The thermal fuse can be mounted using various methods depending on other options. If the heater does not have a thermostat, the thermal fuse would be mounted under the lead exit patch. If used in conjunction with a thermostat, it could be mounted under the thermostat cover.
