Question

How do i run my baseboards consecutivly and hook them up to a single pole thermastate?

Answer 1

No thermostat will handle the amount of current that will be involved that way.  You will need a control relay to turn them on at the same time.  This will need to be designed and installed by a qualified professional electrician.

Answer 2

There is a close possibility with some added equipment but you may find that it is uneconomical.  

The single pole thermostat is just a line voltage (110) switch that is operated by temperature changes.

I assume that you have baseboard electric resistance heaters that are 220 because you made the distinction and they usually are.  

You want the heaters to run"consecutively" but instead they will probably require a separate circuit each because of their rated capacity.  Lets assume you have 2 heaters that are small and have a rating of 15 amps at 220 volts.  Each one is on it's own 20 amp circuit (max constant load is 3/4 breaker capacity) with a relay where the thermostat would normally be in the wiring. The secondary winding of each relay would be line voltage that would then be wired together normally (in parallel) to the controlling line voltage thermostat.  

The relays have to be rated properly and they are going to hum when they are on.

Answer 3

You want to connect several baseboard heaters to a single thermostat?  If the circuit breaker and wiring will handle more than one heater and the thermostat is rated for the proper current, just wire to the thermostat, then from the thermostat to the first heater, then from the first heater to the second heater, etc.  Very simple.
