Not only is the voltage important, so is the amp rating.
The specs for the part you propose a
Universal type window unit thermostat kit.

Range: Cold Off (52ºF) Warm On (93ºF)
Diff: 6ºF
Capillary: 18" End 1" Aircoil
SPST, F.L.A. 20A, L.R.A. 80A

I would go for it



Hey Big Bob (from Bob);

I love the education I'm getting. Where did you come up with the
specs for the Universal type window unit thermostat kit?

SPST= single pole, single throw. What is F.L.A. and L.R.A.?

Is it Universal enough that the mounting holes are going to match, or
is that too much to ask?

Stormin Mormon: The tube spacing looks OK, but before I spend buy any
new parts, I am going to try moving the tube somewhat and see what
happens.
