don't know if this is off topic but.....t-stat question

hey there,

just wondering. can you use non-grounded heating products in a grounded thermostat? I know this seems like a dumb question, but i want to be sure.

yes you can, on a plug that is grounded the ground is that third round prong below the two flat prongs (as long as your in america) Plugging non grounded devices into a grounded device is fine... It can even protect from shorting out in thunder storms...

Yep, no problem. You just can't plug something grounded into a non grounded outlet without an adapter. The main thing to 'worry' about with plugging things into t-stats is the wattage capacity and amperage. With normal heat sources, such as UTHs and Flexwatt, you usually don't have to worry unless you're running a LOT of them on one stat.

Thanks for your help.
much appreciated. t-stat is on the way! it will soon be time for happy snakes!
