Product Description

The Universal Thermocouple Kit 600mm/60cm is a versatile replacement part commonly used in a variety of gas-powered appliances. This thermocouple is designed to detect the presence of a flame and ensure the safe operation of the appliance by cutting off the gas supply if the flame goes out.

Key Features of the Universal Thermocouple Kit 600mm/60cm:

Length:
- The thermocouple in this kit is 600mm (60cm) long, which makes it suitable for smaller to medium-sized appliances, where the flame-sensing area is relatively close to the gas control valve.
- This length is ideal for most gas heaters, gas stoves, ovens, and gas water heaters.
Universal Compatibility:
- The universal thermocouple design makes this kit compatible with a wide range of gas appliances. It’s commonly used for appliances that rely on flame detection to control the gas flow, such as space heaters, gas cooktops, ovens, and gas water heaters.
- The universal fit allows it to replace thermocouples in many different brands and models of appliances.
Flame Detection & Safety:
- A thermocouple works by detecting the flame from the appliance burner. When heated by the flame, the thermocouple generates a small electrical signal that keeps the gas valve open, allowing the appliance to function.
- If the flame goes out, the thermocouple stops generating the signal, which causes the gas valve to shut off the gas supply, preventing gas leaks and potential safety hazards.
Durability:
- The thermocouple is typically made from high-quality materials such as copper or copper alloys, which are resistant to high temperatures and designed to last under the intense heat conditions found in gas appliances.
Kit:
- The kit typically includes one or more thermocouples along with any necessary accessories or fittings, depending on the package. It’s a great option for those needing multiple replacements or for professionals who service a variety of appliances.

Applications:

Gas Heaters: Ideal for wall-mounted gas heaters or space heaters that require a thermocouple to detect the flame and control the gas flow safely.
Gas Stoves/Ovens: Perfect for gas cooktops, ovens, and ranges, where the thermocouple ensures that the gas is only flowing when the flame is present.
Gas Water Heaters: Often used in gas water heaters to ensure that the appliance operates safely by detecting the flame and preventing gas flow if the flame is extinguished.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Replacement:

Failure to Ignite: If the appliance won’t ignite, or the flame goes out too quickly, it could be due to a faulty thermocouple that isn’t detecting the flame properly.
Gas Supply Shutoff: If the appliance shuts off unexpectedly or cuts off the gas supply prematurely, a malfunctioning thermocouple could be incorrectly sensing the flame and shutting off the gas supply.
Intermittent Heating or Gas Flow: If your appliance is cycling on and off or the gas flow is inconsistent, it may be due to a faulty thermocouple not properly sensing the flame.
