  • $15.00


The White-Rodgers H06E-48 is a high-performance 48-inch universal thermocouple designed specifically for standing pilot systems in residential and commercial gas heating applications. Delivering a standard 30 millivolt (mV) output, this component ensures the safety and reliability of pilot burner assemblies for natural gas and liquid propane equipment. Built with a heavy-duty stainless steel element, the H06E-48 is engineered to withstand hot junction temperatures reaching up to 1450°F, preventing oxidation and premature degradation in high-cycle environments. The 11/32" double lead threaded connection provides a secure, gas-tight fit to the burner control valve. Each replacement thermocouple kit includes universal adapter fittings, allowing for seamless integration across a wide range of furnace, water heater, and boiler brands. For professional contractors, this 48" lead provides the necessary length for complex routing in large-cabinet units where direct access to the pilot assembly is restricted.

Key Benefits
  • Universal Compatibility: Includes specialized adapter fittings to replace 30mV thermocouples in most major pilot burner configurations.
  • Rugged Construction: The stainless steel sheath provides superior thermal resistance and protection against corrosive flue gases.
  • Optimized Millivolt Signal: Ensures consistent gas valve engagement by maintaining a stable 18 to 30 mV signal during pilot operation.
  • Standard Fitting: Features a standard 11/32-32 male nut for direct attachment to standing pilot gas valves.
  • Flexible Installation: The 48-inch length offers maximum versatility for field technicians servicing deep-set burner trays.
Common Questions

Is the White-Rodgers H06E-48 compatible with LP gas and Natural Gas?
Yes, this thermocouple is designed and rated for use in both liquid propane (LP) and natural gas (NG) furnaces and water heaters.

What should the pilot flame look like for optimal H06E-48 performance?
For a steady millivolt output, the pilot flame should envelope the top 3/8" to 1/2" of the thermocouple tip. A weak or lifting flame will cause the safety circuit to drop out.

Can I use this to replace a shorter thermocouple?
Yes, provided the millivolt rating matches. The extra length can be carefully coiled (avoiding sharp kinks) to fit smaller cabinets, making it a versatile HVAC service part for your truck stock.
