The one I use came from Binghams. Very reasonably priced, simple inline installation and is set for about 168deg(F). I got it when I built my hot box(also a Bingham design) when I tried to build a glass lam bow.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

Thanks guys.  I had looked at grainger, but what I was finding was around $100.  $8 is much better.
