Product Description

The Universal Thermocouple 900mm Kit is a replacement part used in gas-powered appliances to detect flame presence and ensure the safe operation of the device. With a 900mm length, this thermocouple is suitable for a variety of appliances where a longer reach is required to sense the flame and control the gas flow.

Key Features of the Universal Thermocouple 900mm Kit:

Length:
- The 900mm (90cm) length of this thermocouple makes it suitable for appliances where the flame-sensing area is located further from the gas control valve. This is commonly used in appliances like gas heaters, ovens, stoves, and gas water heaters where the control valve is positioned farther away.
Universal Fit:
- This thermocouple is designed to be universal, meaning it can work with a wide range of gas appliances, including both residential and commercial units. It's commonly used in heating systems, cooktops, ovens, fireplaces, and water heaters.
Flame Detection & Safety Function:
- The thermocouple is a safety device that monitors the presence of a flame in the appliance. When the thermocouple is heated by the flame, it generates a small electrical signal, which keeps the gas valve open and allows the appliance to function. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple stops generating the electrical signal, causing the gas valve to close and cut off the gas supply, thereby preventing gas leakage and potential hazards.
Durability:
- Made from high-quality materials like copper or copper alloys, this thermocouple is designed to withstand high temperatures and harsh conditions. It’s built to last and offer reliable performance over time.
Kit:
- The 900mm kit typically includes one or more thermocouples, which may come with any necessary hardware or fittings to facilitate installation. It is a great option for those who need to replace multiple thermocouples in their appliances or for businesses that maintain gas appliances.

Applications:

Gas Heaters: Used in wall-mounted gas heaters or other types of space heaters where the thermocouple needs to reach a greater distance.
Gas Stoves/Ovens: Ideal for gas stoves or ovens where the thermocouple needs to detect the flame and maintain the gas flow from a distance.
Gas Water Heaters: Perfect for gas-powered water heaters with flame-sensing mechanisms located further from the gas control valve.
Fireplaces: In gas fireplaces, the thermocouple helps ensure that the appliance operates safely by detecting the flame and stopping the gas supply when the flame is not present.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Replacement:

Failure to Ignite: If the appliance fails to ignite, or the flame goes out quickly after ignition, the thermocouple might not be detecting the flame correctly, signaling that it needs replacement.
Gas Supply Cutoff: If the appliance shuts off unexpectedly or the gas supply is stopped prematurely, a malfunctioning thermocouple might be cutting off the gas supply even when the flame is still present.
Intermittent Heating: If the appliance's heating cycles are erratic, with frequent on-and-off behavior, this could indicate that the thermocouple is faulty and incorrectly detecting the flame.
