Default HELP Thermostat ?'s

If i have two thermostats sitting side by side and say i was dumb enough to mix them up how could i tell the 160 from the 180? They are both Hypertechs. On the side of them they have numbers inside of circles. One says 00 and one says 02. Don't know if that means anything or not. Need help don't know which one is which?!?!?!?!? Thanks for any help in advance.

Good question. Are you sure there are not a few really small numbers on the inside somewhere?

Put them in a pot of water, turn on the stove, heat the water, and see which one opens first.
