Robertshaw 1980-024 Thermocouple

The Robertshaw 1980-024 is a professional-grade 24-inch Snap-Fit thermocouple engineered for high-performance heat sensing in gas furnaces, water heaters, and commercial boilers. As a universal thermocouple replacement, this component is designed to integrate seamlessly into most pilot burners without the need for additional adapters. The 1980 series features a robust construction utilizing a combination of copper and nickel alloys to ensure maximum electrical conductivity and a consistent 30mV output for reliable gas valve operation.

For technicians working in high-demand environments, the Robertshaw 1980-024 Thermocouple offers superior resilience. It is built with a stainless steel outer jacket to prevent heat blistering and a brass sheath that provides critical insulation against high ambient temperatures. To prevent electrical failures, it includes a mica washer that protects against shorting. This 24" snap-fit thermocouple is a versatile "truck stock" essential, compatible with a wide range of brands including Honeywell, Johnson Controls, and White-Rodgers.

• Universal Compatibility: Fits most major pilot burner brands including Honeywell Q340A and ITT General Controls models.
• Snap-Fit Design: Features an attached threaded nut for rapid installation and secure connection to the gas control valve.
• Enhanced Durability: The stainless steel jacket and brass sheath resist corrosion and extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Secure Mounting: Includes a Tinnerman clip for stable positioning within the pilot flame.
• Reliable Safety: Precision-engineered to shut off gas flow immediately if the pilot flame is extinguished.

Is the Robertshaw 1980-024 compatible with LP and Natural Gas?
Yes, this thermocouple is designed for use in both Natural Gas and Propane (LP) applications, provided the pilot burner assembly accepts a standard snap-fit probe.

What is the typical millivolt output for this model?
The 1980-024 provides an open-circuit output of approximately 30 millivolts. If your multimeter reads below 20mV during an open-circuit test, the thermocouple likely needs replacement.

Can I use this to replace a 19" or 20" thermocouple?
Absolutely. While you should never use a shorter lead than required, a longer 24-inch lead can safely replace shorter versions as long as the excess lead is coiled carefully away from direct heat sources.
