Description
The Robertshaw 1980-036 Gas Pilot Thermocouple is designed for gas furnace applications. Here are some key features:
- High Electrical Conductivity: Made with a combination of copper and nickel alloys, ensuring efficient pilot light maintenance.
- Durability: Equipped with a stainless steel outer jacket for long life and high resistance to heat blistering.
- Insulation: Includes a mica washer to insulate against shorting conditions.
- Easy Installation: Comes with an attached threaded nut for straightforward installation into most pilot burners.
- Versatility: Available in various lengths to accommodate different applications.
- Brass Sheath: Provides extra insulation for high ambient temperatures.
This thermocouple ensures an operative standing pilot light, which helps the main burner gas ignite properly when heat is needed. It also detects a flame and shuts off the gas flow to the burner to prevent potential hazards
