anticipator(s) are fixed.  
Individual heat and cool levers and scales (most  
models) for temperature setting located on top of  
thermostat case.  
Cover thermometer on most T874 Multistage  
Thermostat models.  
Locking cover and locking lever screws available for  
T874 Multistage Thermostats.  
Versaguard™ Thermostat Guard or custom key lock  
thermostat guards available for T874 Multistage  
Thermostats.

Q674 Subbase provides system and fan switching,  
wiring terminals and mounting base for T874  
Multistage Thermostat.  
APPLICATION  
Adapter plate available for mounting Q674 on wall or  
horizontal outlet box.  
These thermostats and subbases provide low voltage control  
of multistage heating and cooling systems, including heat  
pump systems.  
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) located on subbase for  
easy reference.  
Up to three stages each of heating and cooling control  
possible.  
Models with setpoint restrictions and locking cover  
with no thermometer available for Department of  
Defense (DoD) and other special applications.
