Description
The Robertshaw 1980-024 Snap-Fit Thermocouple is a safety sensor used in various gas-fired HVAC equipment like furnaces and water heaters. It works by converting heat into a small electrical voltage (18-30 millivolts) that increases as the temperature rises. This voltage signal is sent to the HVAC control system, which uses it to regulate the gas flow and ensure safe operation. The Robertshaw 1980-024 is designed for easy installation with its snap-fit design and features a stainless steel outer jacket for durability. At only 24 inches long and weighing just 0.12 pounds, it’s a lightweight and convenient replacement option.
