Vulcan Hart 00-960741 Oven Thermostat G1 1/4" X 6-1/2" Bulb 36″ CAP 0-190°F

This thermostat is designed to regulate temperature in warming and holding equipment, helping maintain heat levels between 0°F and 190°F. It uses a 1/4" x 6-1/2" nickel sensing bulb and a 36-inch capillary tube to detect temperature changes inside the unit. As temperatures change, the thermostat adjusts the heat supply to help maintain the selected setting. It is commonly used in commercial food warmers, holding equipment, and similar foodservice applications where consistent heat is important for food holding and preparation. If the thermostat becomes inaccurate or stops functioning properly, replacing it can help restore normal temperature control and reduce issues related to overheating or uneven warming. Its sensing bulb and capillary tube design support reliable operation in busy foodservice environments.
