BASO Gas Products K16BT-36 36" Husky Thermocouple

The BASO Gas Products K16BT-36 Penn Thermocouple Husky is a safety device crucial for gas-fired HVAC equipment. It converts heat into a small voltage (25-35 millivolts). This voltage signal is sent to the gas control valve, essentially telling it to keep the gas flowing when a flame is present. If the thermocouple doesn't sense sufficient heat, the voltage drops, and the gas control valve shuts off the gas supply, preventing leaks. Made of durable materials, the K16BT-36 thermocouple is 36 inches long and weighs only 0.18 pounds. It has a resistance of 0.184 ohms at room temperature. In essence, it acts as a safety switch for your HVAC system.
