Bradford White 415-46501-15 Thermocouple

The Bradford White 415-46501-15 Thermocouple is a high-precision 15-inch temperature sensing component engineered for gas-fired water heaters. As a critical safety device, it operates via the Seebeck effect, generating a millivolt signal to the gas valve to maintain the pilot circuit. This specific OEM water heater replacement part is the factory-authorized successor to the 233-46501-15, ensuring seamless integration with original equipment specifications. Technicians prefer this genuine Bradford White thermocouple because it features a shielded design to resist environmental interference and high-grade metal alloy construction for thermal stability. Replacing a faulty sensor with this 15-inch thermocouple kit prevents unexpected pilot outages and ensures the gas supply shuts off if the flame is lost. This part arrives in original factory packaging, maintaining the integrity required for professional HVACR maintenance and commercial-grade reliability.

• Direct OEM Integration: Engineered by Bradford White as the exact replacement for the 233-46501-15 model, eliminating the need for universal modifications.
• Enhanced Safety Profile: Critical gas water heater safety part that prevents gas leakage by automatically closing the valve upon pilot failure.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-grade materials to withstand the high-temperature environment of the combustion chamber.
• 15-Inch Lead Length: Provides the specific reach required for internal routing within residential and commercial tank-type heaters.

• Will this work if my current part is 233-46501-15? Yes, the Bradford White 415-46501-15 is the direct superseded part number for the 233-46501-15.
• Is this compatible with other brands? This is a brand-specific factory-authorized replacement and is intended only for select Bradford White models. It is not a universal thermocouple.
• How do I know if the thermocouple is bad? If your pilot light will not stay lit despite a strong flame touching the tip, the thermocouple is likely no longer producing the necessary millivoltage to hold the gas valve open.
