BURNHAM NEW YORKER 8236004 Thermocouple

The Burnham New Yorker 8236004 Thermocouple is a critical safety component designed for standing pilot systems in residential and commercial boilers. Featuring a 36-inch lead length, this universal-style thermocouple generates the necessary millivoltage to hold the gas valve’s pilot safety magnet open during operation. Built for durability in high-heat environments, the 8236004 replacement thermocouple ensures reliable flame sensing and prevents hazardous gas buildup. For contractors performing boiler pilot assembly maintenance, this part provides the precise fitment required for Burnham and New Yorker gas-fired boilers. The heavy-duty copper construction resists oxidation, maintaining a consistent millivolt signal even under continuous thermal stress. Utilizing a standard threaded connection for gas valves, this component allows for swift field replacement, reducing downtime and ensuring the HVAC pilot safety circuit remains integrated and functional throughout the heating season.

• Universal Compatibility: Optimized for Burnham and New Yorker boiler series requiring a 36" lead.
• High Millivolt Output: Ensures stable operation of the safety magnet within the gas control valve.
• Durable Construction: High-grade copper tubing prevents premature failure from thermal expansion.
• Efficient Installation: Includes standard mounting hardware for rapid integration into existing pilot burners.

Is this thermocouple compatible with 750mv powerpile systems?
No, this is a standard 30mv thermocouple designed for pilot safety circuits, not for powering millivolt thermostats.

What causes a 36-inch thermocouple lead to fail prematurely?
Soot accumulation and improper flame impingement are the primary causes; ensure the pilot flame engulfs the top 1/2 inch of the tip.

Can I use this on other boiler brands?
While designed for New Yorker and Burnham specs, it functions in most standard pilot burners that accept a push-in or clip-in 30mv thermocouple.
