71R2700 Red Dot Cable-Controlled Thermostat (Adjustable) with 30 in. Capillary

The Red Dot 71R2700 Cable-Controlled Thermostat provides simple, mechanical temperature control for mobile HVAC systems on heavy-duty trucks and equipment. Designed for durability and repeatable adjustment, this thermostat uses a cable-driven control that gives operators a clear action—pull for cold—making it ideal for panel or dash installations where rotary knobs aren’t practical.

It features a 30-inch capillary tube, operates across a 34°F–54°F temperature range, and includes a 5°F clutch cycling range to help maintain stable system operation and reduce short cycling. Fine tuning is straightforward via the adjustable set screw (clockwise = warmer, counterclockwise = cooler). With broad interchange coverage, it’s a reliable match across mixed fleets and legacy applications.
