Product Description:


Maintaining the perfect temperature is key to hatching eggs successfully. This bi-metal egg incubator thermostat kit is a high-quality mechanical thermostat designed to provide accurate and reliable temperature control for incubators. Whether you're a backyard poultry farmer or a professional breeder, this kit ensures a stable environment for your eggs, improving hatch rates and reducing temperature fluctuations.


Unlike digital thermostats, which can sometimes experience sensor malfunctions, a bi-metal thermostat relies on thermal expansion, making it a reliable, fail-safe option. The thermostat automatically regulates the heat source by expanding and contracting its metal components in response to temperature changes. This allows for precise temperature maintenance, ensuring your eggs remain in the optimal hatching range.


What's Included in the Kit?


  1. Thermostat Unit: Long 1.5" shaft designed to fit through thick styrofoam incubator walls.

  2. Control Knob with Set Screw: Allows for easy and precise temperature adjustments.

  3. Mini Screwdriver & Nut: Ensures the thermostat is securely fastened to your incubator.

  4. Lead Wires with Insulated Connectors: Ensures safe, efficient electrical connections.

  5. Wiring Diagram: Helps integrate the thermostat with a fan and heater, ensuring even heat distribution.


This Sammax-style thermostat is engineered to maintain an accurate temperature range between 80-105°F (27 and 40°C), ensuring optimal egg incubation conditions. The bi-metal mechanism provides reliable temperature stability, reducing the risk of overheating or underheating your eggs. This helps create the best conditions for a higher hatch rate.


This mechanical incubator thermostat is designed to function with both AC and DC power sources, making it a versatile choice for various incubator setups. Whether you're using a 120V AC home power supply or a DC-powered system in an off-grid setting, this thermostat adapts to your needs.

Not as tight of control as expected.

As a 14 year heating and air technician I thought this would give me less of a deadband for my diy incubator. I must admit i did not have a fan to circulate air,but it is a must to get tighter control with this bimetalllic. Temp Spans observed were anywhere from 5 to 7 degrees and this was with a calibrated thermometer. Thruth be told i had an old mercury home t stat that held temp better than this. Will test again with circulating fan.

Excellent dependable product.

I replaced an electronic one that went haywire with this simple bimetallic and it's been running spot on for about a week now. Old school works when nothing else will!
