Product Description

The Thermocouple for Braemar Wall Furnace D45 D55 SIT (Part# 0270416) is a vital component used in Braemar gas wall furnaces, specifically models D45 and D55. This thermocouple ensures the safe operation of the gas furnace by monitoring the flame presence and shutting off the gas supply if the flame is not detected, preventing dangerous gas leaks.

Key Features of the Thermocouple for Braemar Wall Furnace (Part# 0270416):

Flame Sensing:
- The thermocouple detects the presence of the flame in the furnace. It generates a small electrical voltage when it is heated by the flame, which signals to the gas control valve to keep the gas supply on. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple stops generating the voltage and causes the valve to shut off the gas, preventing a potentially hazardous situation.
Compatibility:
- This specific thermocouple (Part# 0270416) is designed for use with Braemar D45 and D55 wall furnaces. It’s important to use the correct part number to ensure proper fit and operation, as incorrect parts could lead to malfunctioning or safety issues.
Safety Function:
- The thermocouple plays a critical role in the safety system of the furnace. If the flame is lost, the thermocouple ensures that the gas supply is immediately turned off, preventing gas from continuing to flow and potentially causing a dangerous buildup in the system.
Durability:
- Typically made from high-quality materials like copper or a copper alloy, thermocouples are built to withstand high temperatures and the harsh conditions of a gas furnace, ensuring long-term reliability and safe operation.
Replacement Part:
- The 0270416 thermocouple is a replacement part for when the original thermocouple in your Braemar wall furnace wears out or fails. Over time, thermocouples can degrade due to constant exposure to heat and may require replacement.

Common Symptoms That Indicate the Need for Replacement:

Failure to Ignite: If your Braemar wall furnace is not igniting, or the flame goes out shortly after lighting, the thermocouple might not be detecting the flame correctly and needs replacing.
Gas Supply Shutoff: If the furnace shuts off unexpectedly, it could be due to a faulty thermocouple that is incorrectly sensing the flame.
Intermittent Heating: If the furnace has difficulty staying on or keeps turning off after starting, the thermocouple may be malfunctioning and preventing proper gas flow.
No Flame Detection: A thermocouple that fails to detect the flame will cut off the gas supply, which means no flame will be sustained in the furnace.
