A thermocouple is an electrical safety device that verifies that the flame of your gas equipment is burning properly, and responds to temperature change by voltage output change.
* It works with the pilot burner for use with gas furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and fireplaces.
* The adapter can be easily mounted on most pilot burners, including clamp-in, push-in, and screw-in burners.
* Universal adapter fits clamp-in, push-in, and screw-in-type pilot burners.
* Long-time service time.
Gas Thermocouple: Definition & Uses in Gas Heating Equipment
A thermocouple is a safety device that works by the temperature change of voltage output.
A thermocouple can produce a small voltage output by two different metals or wires forming a measurement junction at the sensor’s tip on the device.
When two different metals are heating, they can be produced an electrical current.
This voltage will let the gas valve close or open or remain open.
