I am looking to install the above thermostat and have it control a single in-line duct fan like this:

Basically, I want to have my guy put in an outlet in the crawl space that the fan plugs into and this thermostat will control. The fan would be directly connect to the thermostat and nothing else.

Thanks for your input!

first off, I have never seen a inline fan work. what you want to do, is engineer the supply duct system so you have the correct amount of air to each register.

Second, why would you use a thermostat to control this fan? if you want it to come on with the system, tie it into the blower circuit....it still won't work, but at least it will come on with the system.

I am using a high wall mini split system to heat/cool a living room. I am planning on using this duct fan to circulate air from the living room to the bathroom. Otherwise, the bathroom will have zero airflow. I want to use a thermostat so that the fan doesn't continuously run, that it will only operate when it needs to.

If that fan pulls less than 6 amps it'll likely do what you want it to.

how exactly are you going to wire this? just curious. I know how it has to be, but due to site rules, cant tell you how.

The fan does pull less than 6 amps. I am going to hire a pro to put it in. I was just trying to confirm whether or not that thermostat has the capability of running the fan with no other relays or circuitry.

the thermostat acts as a switch. the other relays and circuitry in air handlers or furnaces are just switches, too.

Positive pressure bathroom is a bad thing

interesting, just use a 120v thermostat....easy/simple (but they are kinda pricey)
