Southbend 1196078 Range Thermocouple 30\”
The Southbend 1196078 Range Thermocouple 30\" is a flame-sensing component used in compatible commercial gas ranges. Positioned near the pilot flame, the thermocouple generates a small electrical signal when heated, allowing the gas control system to recognize flame presence. This signal permits the associated safety valve to maintain gas flow while the pilot remains lit. The 30-inch length provides the required reach between the sensing point and gas control connection.
