A safety temperature control used in commercial fryers, this hi-limit thermostat helps prevent oil from overheating during operation. It is designed to shut off the heat at 425°F, helping protect the fryer from excessive temperatures. The thermostat features an auto-reset function that allows it to resume operation after cooling down. It also includes a sensing bulb and a 36-inch capillary tube that transmit temperature changes to the control mechanism. Commonly used in gas fryers, this component plays an important role in maintaining safe fryer operation and consistent cooking performance.
