Cleveland KE55069-7 Braising Pan Hi-Limit Safety Thermostat W/1/4" X 5" Bulb 48" Capillary

A basic high-limit thermostat used in commercial steaming and kettle cooking equipment, this part is designed to monitor internal temperature and help prevent overheating during operation. It uses a 1/4 inch by 5 inch bulb connected to a 48 inch capillary tube to detect heat levels inside the cooking chamber and send signals to the control system. When the temperature goes beyond the set limit of about 458°F, the thermostat stops the heating cycle to reduce the risk of damage to the equipment. If the old thermostat is not working properly or giving wrong readings, replacing it helps bring back normal temperature control and keeps the equipment working safely.
