We are aware of most elements on the market, but should we not be able to determine your requirement, then upon receipt of a picture, or technical drawing (including measurements of the element), we can investigate and identify it. Please email relevant details to sales@backer.co.uk
Q:No Temperature Marking on Thermostat

Please note the maximum temperature will be approx 70 degree C
Do not over turn past the adjuster stop.
