    Electronics. A fitting connected to a power supply and equipped to receive a plug.


    So in this instance I would assume it to mean the powerstrip where you plug your heaters into.

    A rec end is just one plug, like the female end of a heavy duty extension cord.. The powerstrip is different when it comes to tstats

    See, this is when I realize that I skim everthing I read! The first part of his post was correct but the second part where it said powestrip, I don't even recall seeing. Weird!

    I would personally go with the Johnson Controls. Both of the stats work in the same fashion and handle the same wmount of wattage. It is really a personal prefrence
