Imperial 36016 Extension - Thermocouple, 48"

The Imperial 36016 Extension Thermocouple (48") is a replacement temperature sensor designed for use in gas appliances such as water heaters, furnaces, and ovens. It functions by generating a small electrical current when heated by a pilot flame, which helps keep the gas valve open for safe and efficient operation. With its 48-inch length, it offers extended reach for installations where the pilot light is farther from the control valve. This thermocouple is easy to install and compatible with most standard gas systems, making it a practical choice for maintenance and repair. It supports consistent performance and contributes to overall appliance safety by ensuring the pilot remains reliably lit under normal operating conditions.
