ENO Safety Gas Thermocouple

ENO Mania Tradition Safety Thermocouple

The thermocouple is a safety device that automatically cuts off the gas at the tap if the flame on the gas lines is accidentally extinguished.

At the end of this thermocouple, a calibrated probe transmits an electrical signal to an electrode incorporated in the gas tap.

This device is used in gas cooking appliances.

• MANIA Series: T-100/821x400 - M8/100 L350 connection
  
• TRADITION Series: T-100/821x400 - M8/100 L350 connection

The thermocouple consists of 3 parts.

- 1 metal wire (nickel + chrome alloy - type K) inserted into 1 tube (nickel + aluminum alloy (5%) + silicon - type K).

Both ends: (tip and terminal) soldered as shown in the picture.
- 1 copper tube serving as a channel for the first 2 parts.

When the tip is heated, the heat energy transformed into electrical energy creates a magnetic field.
The latter is used to open the gas tap valve. In the absence of flame, the spring relaxes and closes the gas supply.
Thermocouples are characterized by a letter that determines the operating temperature range.
