I currently have a Myson MRT1 thermostat to control the kickspace heater in the kitchen, unfortunately it sits about 45mm+ off the wall and is causing problems opening a fridge nearby. Owing to a lack of suitable wall space to place it elsewhere it has to stay where it is. I am looking for a suitable €śthin€ť replacement, it sits on a 16mm back box but that could be made deeper if required. The MRT1 is the type with an anticipator resister and I require a direct replacement, it does not have to be programmable that is handled elsewhere just a bog standard type is required. Unfortunately getting dimensions for various types is proving difficult hence why I am asking for recommendations.
Thank you in anticipation.

What about the MRTE. Modern thermostats use an electronic sensor and
swicth and so don't need the gas bellow to overcome the thermal intertia
in a bi-metalic strip. Its still protrudes 20mm

Thanks for the heads up David. It seems the MRTE is basically a two wire device so I will just have to disconnect the neutral. The 20mm protrusion will make a big difference as the stat is very close to the hinged edge of the fridge door. I was looking at a few but 28mm protrusion was the smallest I could find. Now just need to find someone who stocks them, SF and TS of course do not, I suppose I could go direct to Myson but imagine they will charge list price.
Thanks again

Just checking - can it handle the load? Just you did not say if the
kickspace heater was electric or wet.

Thanks Adam, it is a wet heater the thermostat simply controls the fan.
