Thermostat question

I have a 6 inch inline fan that I want to hook up to a thermostat to control temps

will this work for a 120v fan?

that one has a Differential of +/- 10 Deg F, not very sensitive

the first one is +/- 1 deg

The 1 degree differential means your fan will be off and on every ten to thirty seconds.lol On and off means uses more power and burns out fan motor sooner.
The 1 degree was meant to read the heat in a home. Trust me you do not want 1 degree of accuracy controlling your fan. If you set it to come on at 80 deg. f it will run until temps in room reach 70deg. f usually after light is off.
I was a heating contractor in another life.

Agreed with growlegal. You will want something with a little more swing than 1degree. I would say 10 is a bit much but hey... Its better than 1
