A long lead like this suits appliances where the gas valve sits well away from the burner or pilot. Being universal, the kit isn't tied to a single brand. Check the length, tip style and valve connection on your old thermocouple, and remember gas work must be done by a licensed gas fitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePilot won't stay lit? The thermocouple may be the cause\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thermocouple sits in the flame and produces a tiny voltage when heated. That voltage holds the gas valve's safety magnet open. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple cools, the voltage drops and the valve shuts off the gas. When a thermocouple wears out or its tip is damaged, the pilot or burner lights but goes out as soon as you let go of the knob. A dirty or badly positioned tip, or a loose connection at the valve, can cause the same fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric universal thermocouple kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead length 1200mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStock code CC41200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor gas appliances with thermocouple flame safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1200mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a universal thermocouple\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn off the gas and power before starting, and have the job done by a licensed gas fitter. Fit the tip so the flame covers it properly, route the lead away from hot surfaces and sharp edges, and don't kink it. Tighten the valve connection firmly but not excessively. Test for gas leaks and check the flame failure works before handing the appliance back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a 1200mm thermocouple if my old one is shorter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOften yes, provided the tip and valve connection suit, as the extra lead can be looped gently. Don't kink or crush it while coiling. If the original length matters for your appliance's approval, ask your gas fitter to confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44549153816654,"sku":"CC41200_G","price":29.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/cc41200-generic-thermocouple-kit-1200mm","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
