A thermocouple is a safety sensing device that generates a small millivolt signal when heated by the pilot flame. This signal holds the gas valve open during normal operation. If the pilot goes out, the thermocouple cools, the signal drops, and the gas valve shuts off as a safety measure. The PLT1010 is installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians during routine water heater service or pilot assembly replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thermocouple is suited for residential gas water heater installations where the original sensing element has failed or degraded. A failing thermocouple is one of the most common causes of a pilot that will not stay lit. Replacing the thermocouple is a standard service call task and restores proper pilot safety shutoff function to the appliance. It is used in gas water heater systems utilizing a standing pilot ignition and a millivolt-operated gas valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenerates millivolt signal to hold gas valve open during active pilot operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafety shutoff function cuts gas supply when pilot flame is lost\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned as a replacement for the original thermocouple in gas water heater pilot assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standing pilot ignition systems and millivolt gas valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement thermocouple for BRADFORD WHITE gas water heaters equipped with standing pilot ignition systems and millivolt-operated gas valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with local codes and the appliance manufacturer instructions. Shut off the gas supply to the water heater and allow the unit to cool completely before beginning any work on the pilot assembly. The thermocouple tip must be positioned correctly in the pilot flame to generate adequate millivoltage. Do not overtighten the thermocouple connection at the gas valve, as this can damage the fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thermocouple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gas Water Heater Pilot Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIgnition Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standing Pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BRADFORD WHITE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PLT1010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BRADFORD WHITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383808819506,"sku":"PLT1010","price":53.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/PLT1010.jpg?v=1782607973","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bradford-white-plt1010-thermocouple-water-heater-part","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
