Direct replacement thermocouple
This Robertshaw thermocouple serves as a universal replacement for standing-pilot systems in LP or natural-gas appliances. It produces 18 to 30 mV to hold the gas valve open when the pilot flame is present. The 27 in copper and nickel-alloy cable reaches most pilot assemblies without splicing.
Millivolt output defines compatibility
The 18 to 30 mV range suits valves designed for that specific output; higher- or lower-voltage controls will not operate reliably with this probe. A standing-pilot system is required, so intermittent-ignition or hot-surface-ignition appliances cannot use it. Cable length fixes the maximum distance between the pilot and the gas valve.
Stainless probe with coaxial fitting
A 3/8 in diameter stainless-steel probe resists corrosion in the flame envelope while the coaxial process connection threads into standard pilot brackets. The included Tinnerman clip secures the cable against vibration. Copper and nickel-alloy conductors maintain consistent millivolt output over repeated heating cycles.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 18 mV or 30 mV version of the 1960-027 thermocouple?
The 1960-027 is a single model that produces 18 to 30 mV; there are no separate versions to choose between.
What does the 18 to 30 mV output mean when the thermocouple is installed in a standing-pilot system?
It means the probe generates a millivolt signal in that range to hold the gas valve open once the pilot flame is established.
How does the coaxial process connection affect compatibility with my gas valve?
The coaxial connection threads directly into compatible valves; the included Tinnerman clip secures the probe to the pilot bracket.
