ok. so what i want to do is connect the bottom two, that are turned perpendicular to the others, to the thermostat and transformer, then connect the wires from the wall to the outlet through two of the other poles? does it matter which ones i use? also it looks kinda little to be running 120 volts through.
Yes, the two turned perpendicular go to the coil. The two adjacent to it are the poles, and the next two are the throws.
Each pole will have one throw it is normally in contact with. You want to connect to the opposite one. I'm not sure which one that is, but you could test it pretty easily.
It should not matter which pole you use.
As for the size of the relay, as long as its rated for the voltage and amperage you are running across it, you should be OK.
