It is a thermostat control assembly for commercial gas cooking equipment which can be used to control and adjust cooking surface temperatures on griddles and grills. The control functions from 150°F to 400°F and is equipped with a 3/16" x 8" sensing bulb, which is connected to a 36" capillary tube, to sense temperature changes and control gas flow during operation. It is intended to maintain the correct food temperature during normal daily cooking operations in busy kitchens. Typically installed in gas-powered food service cooking equipment like restaurant kitchens, concession stands, cafeterias, etc. This package includes the dial, bezel, gasket, stem adaptors and mounting screws needed for installation or replacement service. If the thermostat is old or damaged, it can lead to uneven heating, incorrect temperature control or burner control problems which can affect cooking performance. Replacing the thermostat could help resolve these problems.
