Bathroom fans, heat lamps and workshop lights get left on for hours when they're on a regular switch. The Intermatic FD60MC is a 60-minute spring wound countdown timer in decorator style and ivory, rated 125-277 VAC, that turns the load off automatically at the end of the cycle. It needs no power or neutral to run, so electricians can swap it in for a standard single-pole switch in most boxes. Intermatic notes it is not for sunlamps, saunas or any load that could cause injury if timed incorrectly.
Why electricians pick it
- Mechanical spring wound timer: no electricity or neutral connection needed.
- Up to 60 minutes, then breaks the circuit; no HOLD position, so it can't be left on.
- Rated for incandescent, fluorescent, CFL and LED lighting, fans, motors and heaters.
- Decorator style replaces a standard or decorator switch in single or multi-gang boxes.
- Front teeter-type terminals for quick wiring; cCSAus certified.

Pro tip from the counter
In public washrooms and rentals the knob is what gets broken, not the timer. Intermatic sells the ivory FD series knob separately as part 146-00045 (white and almond versions too), so keep a couple on the truck and fix a snapped knob in a minute instead of replacing the whole timer.
Best for: bathroom exhaust fans and heat lamps, workshop and garage lighting, public and rental washrooms, attic and utility fans
