Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208370 Thermocouple

The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208370 Thermocouple is safety equipment that is installed in water heaters and boilers to regulate the flow of the gas. This variety checks whether the pilot light is on or of not and in the latter case, it turns off the supply of gas to avoid possible dangerous conditions. The thermocouple functions in the way that when the pilot light heats it, a small electric current flows and the gas valve remains open. This component is very important in safe operation in gas-fired HVAC equipment to reduce risks of fire outbreaks, and to conserve energy by avoiding wastage of gas.
