PRODUCT OVERVIEW
H/D Thermocouple for Pitco Part# P8903-48
Details
The Pitco H/D Thermocouple is a direct replacement heavy-duty thermocouple for Pitco commercial gas fryers. This thermocouple generates a small millivolt signal from the temperature differential between its tip in the pilot flame and its cooler connection end, which is used by the gas valve's thermocouple seat to hold the safety valve open. Using the correct heavy-duty thermocouple ensures the proper tip temperature rating, sheath diameter, connection type, and lead length for reliable pilot safety control.
Over time, the thermocouple tip oxidizes and the internal thermocouple junctions degrade from continuous exposure to the pilot flame, causing the millivolt output to drop below the level required to hold the gas valve open. When this occurs, the gas valve closes and the fryer shuts off, even with a healthy pilot flame burning. Replacing the H/D thermocouple with a compatible heavy-duty unit restores the required millivolt output to maintain the gas valve in the open position.
Installation involves threading the thermocouple connection nut into the gas valve thermocouple port to the correct torque and positioning the tip in the pilot flame. It is recommended to measure thermocouple output with a millivolt meter after installation to confirm the output meets the gas valve's minimum specification. Pairing H/D thermocouple replacement with an inspection of the pilot burner and gas valve will ensure the entire pilot safety system is functioning correctly.
