Imperial 1175 Fryer Thermostat RX 3/8" X 5" 36" Cap

Sensing Element Placement:
The sensing element is positioned within the fryer to detect cooking oil temperature accurately. Proper placement helps the thermostat respond to actual oil temperature rather than surrounding equipment temperatures.

Mechanical Control Action:
Uses a mechanical temperature-sensing and switching mechanism to coordinate temperature changes with the heating circuit. This allows the thermostat to regulate fryer heating without requiring continuous manual adjustment.

Replacement Guidelines:
Replace the Gas Fryer Thermostat if it is damaged, worn, unresponsive, or no longer provides accurate temperature control. The part number 1175, 400°F temperature rating, 3/8" × 5" sensing bulb, 1/4" NPT stuffing box, and 36" capillary should be verified before replacement to ensure the correct thermostat is selected. Replace the thermostat if deterioration affects temperature sensing, control response, temperature regulation, or normal fryer operation.

Common Failure Symptoms:

• Inconsistent fryer temperature control.
• Difficulty maintaining the selected temperature.
• Irregular heating cycle operation.
• Incorrect temperature response.
• Temperature fluctuations during operation.

Equipment Compatibility:
The Imperial 1175 Gas Fryer Thermostat 400°F is used in Imperial gas fryers requiring this thermostat configuration. Verify the fryer model, thermostat specifications, sensing size, connection type, and capillary length before purchase.
