NSI TORK C412H Spring-Wound in-Wall Twist Timer with Commercial Style Metal Plate and 12-Hour Length for Automatic Shutoff of Motors or Lights, Metal-Brushed Aluminum

Works great for my battery charger. Original timer broke. This one works well. I had to use the cover plate and altered it some to fit my charger. The hours didn’t match my original timer that came with the charger. Good fix though.

Works as advertised. One point of warning is that the body of the unit is very large and too large to fit in a slim metal box because the power leads connect straight into the sides and bend back at a 90 degree angle. I had to install a larger electrical box to accommodate this switch.

Worked well. Hooked this up to garage attic fan so I could let it run a couple of hours at night and morning to cool down attic. Fit well.

Great timer. I’ve used these timers for years as I was a Union Electrician. Timer works perfectly. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is i bought a 12 hour timer and it came with a 1 hour cover plate. I didn’t think it was worth sending back to get it corrected as it will almost always be cranked to the full 12 hours when used.

Good buy

Used a 12 hour timer to energize a contactor (for a water heater element). Used it every sunny day for six hours per day (in CALIF) for exactly one year and it just failed. Stays energized, still tics, but does not turn off. Three days in a row so it has definitely failed. It is not loaded very much (maybe 25 watts) with just the holding coil of the contactor. Should I buy another TORK or try an Intermatic? A previous one energizing the 1000 watt (120 volt) heater directly without the contactor lasted 6 months before the contacts burned. 1000 watts for 6 hours a day is too much load on the switch.

Install was easy enough, but there is no way to speed up the timer once started. If someone cranks it to 12, you've got 12 hours of power being supplied. I guess that's the problem with manual instead of digital timers.

This timer is being used to control two gas heaters in a lodge that gets very little use in the Winter, and is only heated when people are there. The timers keep people from forgetting to turn the heaters off when they leave. Worked perfect for this use. The only problem I had was installation. The timer fits in a standard outlet box, but there is barely any room for the wires that go into the side of the timer. I had to pry the side of the metal outlet box to bow it out so I had room for the wires to slide in alongside of the timer. It would have been much better to be able to insert the wires in the back, instead of in the side.

just as described
