   Does it have a "chrome/shiny" finish? If not, it is very possible
that this is the "normal" t-stat. There are 2 versions; one is about
$2.50 or so and comes with a short warranty, the other is "heavy duty",
costs about $5, and comes with a lifetime warranty. The heavy duty
one has a "chrome-like" finish, almost, the regular one was more dull.

  There was a discussion about this a short while ago; someone had a
P/N 45358, which Boog pointed out was the same t-stat, just the packaging
was different. (One was boxed and one was on a card.) I don't know about
59358 though.
