Copper thermocouple assembly with built-in automatic flame detection Key benefits Reliable flame safety: built-in thermocouple detects burner flame automatically to help prevent gas flow if the flame goes out. Durable construction: made from solid copper for strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Ready to install: supplied as a stable, pre-assembled unit to simplify replacement and reduce installation time. Consistent performance: designed to maintain safe cooking operation and stable flame sensing every use. What it does Acts as the flame-sensing component for gas appliances, shutting off gas when a flame is not present. Provides a compact, all-copper assembly that resists rust and delivers reliable thermal conductivity for accurate sensing. Compatibility and attributes Material: copper. Function: thermocouple with automatic flame detection. Condition: pre-assembled for straightforward installation. Suitable for gas cooking appliances that accept a copper thermocouple assembly. Installation note Do not over-bend the tube during installation. Excessive bending can damage the assembly or impair performance, leading to unnecessary failure or loss of function. Typical applications Residential gas stoves and cooktops — replace a worn flame sensor to restore safe operation. Built-in gas ovens and ranges — use as a direct-fit thermocouple assembly where compatible. Light commercial cooking equipment that uses a copper thermocouple for flame detection. If uncertain about fit or compatibility with your specific model, compare the existing assembly materials and mounting orientation before installation to ensure correct replacement.
