Bathroom fans, heat lamps, garage heaters and shop lights get left on for hours when nobody remembers to switch them off. The Intermatic FD2H is a spring-wound countdown timer in decorator style that replaces a standard wall switch: turn the knob up to 2 hours and the load shuts off when time runs out. It is rated 125-277 VAC, 50/60 Hz, SPST, needs no power or neutral to run, and comes in ivory.
Why electricians pick it
- Mechanical spring-wound movement, no electricity needed to keep time.
- No neutral connection required, so it fits older switch boxes.
- Works with incandescent, fluorescent, CFL and LED lighting as well as fans, motors and heaters.
- Decorator style fits a standard decorator wallplate.
- Without hold, so the load always turns off at the end of the countdown.

Pro tip from the counter
Because this is the no-hold version, it always shuts the load off, which is ideal for bathroom fans and heat lamps but a nuisance where someone needs continuous power; for that, order Intermatic's with-hold version. Check the load's amp or horsepower rating against the FD2H cut sheet at your voltage before putting it on a motor or heater.
Best for: bathroom exhaust fans, heat lamps, garage and shop heaters, pool and sauna equipment rooms, lights that get left on
