A couple of the Honeywells are rated at 10 and 10.4 A for 120v, but I
don't think this is quite enough. Any thermostat that you feel would
be safe? Cadet used to make a 120v only model with a high amp rating,
but these are discontinued.
Help much appreciated.

Google is your friend...

I don't know which ones you were looking at but
the one at the URL above is rated 15amps at 120v...

No it's not!

Google sucks, and is not my friend.

drive a contactor or high current relay to provide final power.

a contactor is a high current relay with double make double break
contacts for super long reliable life

A HVAC pro can use a 24 VAC power supply, and a contactor to do the job.
Contactors (relays) can be rated for plenty enough amps for your job.

And, with 24 VAC power supply, you have a much wider range of thermostats to
choose.

After an hour of Googling I failed to come up with anything. I don't
see anything about 120V on the specs of this thermostat, don't know
where you read 15a at 120v, but I do see that the maximum amps is 15
and it's clearly a relay-type device. But since it has no battery
what runs the display and doesn't that assume 208/240v (which are the
only voltages I see in the spec?)

The power supply required *is* 208/240.

I believe this thermostat, handling 2000W at 120V, meets the
requirements:

I found it with a bit of googling and there are probably more.

After reading your replies here let's try a *NOVEL*
approach since you have told us what won't work,

why not telling us what all you are needing to control
with a single pole 120v line voltage thermostat then ?

A fan ? A weird heater of some kind ? Maybe if you
shed some light on that mystery you would find better
answers as people can help you with your application...

~~ Evan

P.S. Since you seem to have very particular requirements,
perhaps you are experiencing a device to application
mismatch -- suggest replacing the device you want to use
controlled with the line voltage thermostat which only
needs 120v power with one which is fed by 240v...

Yeah, that would be a good place to start, wouldn't it?
He said 10A isn't quite enough, but never said what is
enough. I gave him a link above to one that can
handle 16A, 120V and you would think it would do what he
wants, but who knows.

Thanks. I missed that one, but what does "minimum" 2000 watts imply
(for 120v)? I simply want to control a purely resistive 1350 watt 120v
baseboard.

Thanks very much to all for your ideas. It's a toss between the relay
idea and the Emerson stat, which I apparently missed when Googling..

Well, that's a good one that I read right over, ain;t it.
It's almost certainly a mistake and they mean 2000W max. It spec'd at
4000W max at 240V, which would be a current of 16 amps.
That same current at 120V would produce 2000W, ie half the
power.

baseboard.

It should work fine for that.

Yes I agree, must be a misprint, makes no sense as stated.
Thanks again so much for your help. I really am pretty good at
Googling so I think these specs must be fairly rare.

Let me see. I said on the subject line that the thermostat should
handle 120V, 1350w. I assumed you might have assumed that meant a
resistive load as in a baseboard heater. Now dividing 1350 by 120
would give 11.25, greater than 10 or 10.4, hence my not "quite enough"
comment. I guess that would make 12a or more "enough."
Sorry for my lack of clarity and incorrect assumptions.
