What it controls
The Fahrenheat FTA2A Line-Voltage Thermostat is a line-voltage for electric heat that runs at line voltage (120 V per the maker).
The listing doesn't state a maximum load. Don't install it until you've confirmed the rating covers your heaters' total watts. How to work out the load.
It's double-pole. Double-pole models break both live legs of a 240-volt circuit and usually give a true off position.
Line voltage can kill: switch the breaker off and confirm it's dead before touching the wires, and use a licensed electrician if you're unsure. Line vs low voltage.
Also on the listing: dimensions of 2 in (D) x 4.5 in (W) x 6.8 in (H) and a manual.
