Product Description
The Universal Thermocouple 600mm/60cm Kit (Pack of 5) is a cost-effective solution for replacing thermocouples in various gas-powered appliances. These thermocouples are designed to fit a wide range of appliances, ensuring safe operation by detecting the flame and stopping the gas flow if the flame is extinguished.
Key Features of the Universal Thermocouple 600mm/60cm Kit (Pack of 5):
-
Length:
- Each thermocouple in the kit is 600mm (60cm) long, which makes it suitable for smaller to medium-sized appliances where the flame-sensing area is closer to the gas control valve.
- The 600mm length is a common size used in gas heaters, stoves, ovens, and water heaters where the thermocouple does not need to be very long to detect the flame.
-
Universal Fit:
- The thermocouple kit is designed to be universal, which means it can be used with a variety of gas appliances, including heaters, ovens, gas water heaters, and gas stoves.
- The thermocouples are generally adaptable to most gas appliances that require flame-sensing components, making them versatile and easy to use.
-
Safety Function:
- The thermocouple detects the presence of a flame in the appliance. When heated by the flame, it generates a small electrical signal that keeps the gas valve open. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple stops producing the signal, which causes the gas valve to shut, cutting off the gas supply to prevent dangerous gas leaks.
- This ensures that gas is only supplied when the flame is present, significantly improving the safety of your appliance.
-
Pack of 5:
- The kit comes with 5 thermocouples, which is a good option for those who need to replace multiple thermocouples at once, such as businesses, appliance repair technicians, or people with multiple appliances to maintain.
- It offers great value for bulk purchases, especially if you service or maintain several gas appliances.
-
Durability:
- These thermocouples are constructed from high-quality materials, typically copper or copper alloys, designed to withstand high temperatures and the harsh conditions in gas-powered appliances.
- The thermocouple is durable, reliable, and engineered to last, ensuring long-term safety and performance.
Applications:
- Gas Heaters: Commonly used in wall-mounted gas heaters or space heaters to detect the flame and ensure safe operation.
- Gas Stoves/Ovens: Used in gas stoves or ovens where the thermocouple detects the flame and maintains a safe gas flow.
- Gas Water Heaters: Perfect for appliances like gas water heaters where flame detection is crucial to prevent gas leakage when there is no flame.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Replacement:
-
Failure to Ignite: If your gas appliance fails to ignite or the flame goes out quickly, it may be due to a faulty thermocouple that isn't properly detecting the flame.
-
Gas Supply Cutoff: If the appliance is shutting off unexpectedly or the gas supply is turning off too early, the thermocouple might not be functioning as it should, causing it to incorrectly cut off the gas supply.
-
Intermittent Heating or Gas Flow: If the appliance turns on and off intermittently or the heating is inconsistent, it could be a sign of a faulty thermocouple that needs replacing.
